Sweet Summer

There's so much to love about summer. Picnic-perfect weather (except for those crazy high 90- degree days), fat, juicy, freshly plucked strawberries, the return of friendly farmers' markets, a ton of kid-friendly activities and so much more.

We've been pretty busy the past weeks. Kayla started her KinderTots Dance class (hence the cute lil tutu!) and she's loving it. We also signed her up for a Princess Camp which runs an hour-long daily for a week. If I haven't mentioned it before, she's all about princesses now and can rattle off the names of all the Disney princesses. Besides that, we've been to lots of fun playdates with other little girls and most recently, we took her to the SF Zoo to see her favorite Fisher Price Little People in action. (pics and videos to follow).

Kayla's more active than ever and her pretend-play abilities are getting more amusingly amazing. She narrates her adventures, sometimes as she's drawing them out. She's getting more creative with things she finds and sees and words she learns and hears. But the thing I love most is listening to her conversations with "Sockie" (basically a sock over my hand). I'll try to get a video of it soon!

Playing tag with Emmy in gramma's gorgeous yard. Kayla's become quite prolific at drawing faces. They have hair, eyes and a mouth!


My favorite ballerina!
