The Baby Discovery

Our church picnic was this past Sunday. The weather was beautiful, and we all had a good time. Aubrey had a blast playing with her cousins and seeing other children. I think that she gets bored sometimes just seeing me all day. We went to the playground at school later in the afternoon. Her favorite part was climbing up the steps to get to the slide. She even let Abby and Gracie take her down the big slides. We probably played over there for at least 45 minutes. I definitely need to make sure that I get her to the park in Crescent at least every couple of weeks to play.

Yesterday after supper, Aubrey was playing with her toys and found her baby that she had gotten for Christmas. She hasn't really played with babies yet. But after she found her baby yesterday, she would not let go of it. Calvin taught her how to rock it, and she was also giving it drinks from her sippy cup. When we went upstairs to take a bath, the baby had to come with and she cried because the baby couldn't go in the water with her. We then read books with the baby and she slept with the baby. Today, it was all about the baby again. We took it shopping with us (though Aubrey did drop it several times). Back at home, she played with it all day. It's so funny how she has just latched on to it. I don't know if it's because we saw Clare on Sunday, or what the deal is.

We also went swimming yesterday for the first time in our little plastic pool. Aubrey wasn't too sure of it at first, but after about twenty minutes of sitting on my lap, she was finally brave enough to move around some. She liked splashing, as long as it didn't get in her face, and shoveling water into a plastic fish. Hopefully this gets her used to swimming, so that we can go in a "real" pool on vacation.
