keep your party hat on!

so, we're at a local FCC ice cream social today, which also involved some pool time- E's favorite place to be. this was her first time, ever, that she swam without anyone holding her. i know, crazy, i shed one tear. okay 2. she is such a rock star.

fcc ice cream social, pool time

we had lots of fun chatting with friends and since it had been raining (with thunder) 3 miles from the event, we didn't even bring suits thinking we'd all be inside the clubhouse. one of the other FCC members was gracious enough to spend a good hour swimming with E. she borrowed the top and was in her underwear :) so, baba had to drive home to grab some new undies, and she had other plans for them.

e

she was a grumpalumpigus on the way home (sugar= mood swing!). so, i say from the front seat, trying to curb the whine:

"E, you got to see your friends, swim in the pool, eat a big bowl of ice cream and you have UNDERWEAR on your head".

Aunt Karen pipes up from the backseat:

"Underwear on your head means you had a good time"

  1. I think underwear on the head is the toddler version of wearing a lampshade for adults. Impressed with the swimming.
