Maybe It Will FEEL Like Fall Soon???

Today is the first official day of Fall and while many (including me) would like to enjoy the cooler temps typical in this season we've seen no such luck. The weather continues to linger in the high 90's. I keep thinking that if I dress Annabelle in her new cute Fall wardrobe every morning that the cooler weather will fall- pun intended- in step. Turns out that I just have to change her into summer gear by 10am. Maybe next week? Let's hope!

Anyway, here is the update on our week. A got her creative buzz on with edible finger paint which she seemed to love. Note to self, toddlers like to roam which means the paint goes everywhere. I started out with her outside on the driveway but by the end of the art project the paint had traveled via A's hands into our garage, neighbors lawn, the curb ect. Good thing it washed easily!

Annabelle also did her usual visits to the park... we go so frequently now that its hard not to pass by without a plea from our little girl to stop and play. She is really enjoying playing with her friends - on the playground, at play dates and pretty much any time of the day. I do have to note here that she got several voluntary hugs from her friends last week (both boys and girls). This is possibly one the cutest things I have ever seen. Our neighbors little girl came over and hugged A so tightly that they both lost their balance and fell over in the front yard! HA! And one of her little boy friends surprised her with a big clumsy hug at the Arboretum on Friday. She looked stunned but didn't move away...

A's big milestone- Annabelle made it through her first Sunday school class this week. There was a bit of hesitation and some tears but she powered through and we were very proud of her. We haven't ever left her for that long with caretakers (other than relatives). This is a big deal! Anyway, I think the more we go, the more comfortable Annabelle will be with the new surroundings.

Last thing, A's sleeping habits are much improved over the past weeks. I think the tough teething phase has passed. THANK GOODNESS! She now has her bottom left molar, right is just breaking through. She also has her top left molar! That is a lot of teeth coming in at one time. No wonder she was grumpy.

I think that is all now. Whew!
