Poolside on Thursday, August 13

We just got back from the pool, and I could barely keep my eyes open or head up to eat lunch! I had a great time wading in the baby pool but mostly walking around, going from mom to kid and checking out of their pool stuff. I met some of my playgroup buddies at the pool, and in this photo you will find us taking a snack break. Look at us sitting like big boys! This past weekend also included another trip to the Reston Zoo, because we had to show Mommy all of the cool animals (first we had brunch at Clyde's where I discovered bacon--yum!--see photo of me trying to pet the ostrich at the zoo and then of Daddy and me in the fountain outside the restaurant). This week, we also had a fun playdate with Lis and Gabe, Sarah and Evan, a visit to my new preschool, and a trip to the library. My new favorite library book is Big Little by Leslie Patricelli; I just crack up at the chihuahua! And, from this book I have added lots of new words to my vocabulary, like chihuahua, pacifier, and coins (those are all little things).
