Belle's excitement to play in the sprinklers

I told Belle that I saw going to get the sprinkler going in the backyard. Belle immediately disappeared and returned to me holding her swimsuit and a swimming diaper. "Can you help me put this on, please?" She asked so sweetly and excitedly, and I saw so impressed that she collected the necessary water play items all by herself. I told her that she didn't need the swim diaper since she is now potty trained. She held the diaper in her hand, thought for a second, then smiled widely and tossed the diaper over her shoulder.

At moments like this, I think, "Where did my baby go?" Sometimes Belle shows me that she is a little girl. A beautiful, sweet, affectionate, polite little girl. I am one lucky mommy.

Then, the munchkins enjoyed the water

A fabulous play date

My walking mom friends traveled from NYC with their kiddos for a play date in the "country" today. I had 8 moms and 12 kiddos over for lunch and chatting, and playing

My least favorite verse of The Wheels on the Bus

I took my munchkins to 'Circle Time' at a local public library. Twas fun! We warmed up singing songs, including The Wheels on the Bus. I HATE that, after the babies on the bus go "waaaa waaaa waaaa," the mommies on the bus go, "shhhh shhhh shhh," and then the daddies on the bus go, 'I love you I love you I love you." Why do the mommies have the be the enforcers, and then the dads get to come in later and just be nice?

C'mon, The Wheels on the Bus singers, cut the mommies some slack.

I always lean in to Belle and sing "The mommies on the say, 'I love you...'" and then "The daddies on the bus say, 'I love you too...'"
