This spring Adelaide and I had the privilege of attending her first music class. A program called Music Together, this collection of toddlers and parents sat on the floor and sang/danced/drummed to the tunes of a huge variety of fun songs. Adelaide really took to it. The songs quickly became her favorites, and she constantly asks for us to sing them by clapping her hands and making the motions of the song. So much fun - we can't wait to go back in the fall, but in the meantime, we'll be practicing!
A few weeks ago we had the privilege of visiting friends in Seattle. Adelaide trooped around to many of the city highlights and had a fabulous trip. Although she wasn't too impressed by Pike Place Market, Olympic Park, or the Solstice Parade (bicyclists wearing only body paint!!), she was thrilled by the two black cats. She chased them around, laughing and meowing, and kissed them whenever she could catch one. Baby/cat kisses are substantially cuter than anything else Seattle has to offer!
Joe's second Father's Day. We went to the Museum of Flight (with every other father between Seattle and Portland). Adelaide had tons of fun running around among gigantic flying machines and chasing origami airplanes.
Adelaide has been learning all about gardening this summer. Starting with berry picking a few weeks ago, she didn't miss a beat - we got to the fields, and she looked around "mmmmmm!" and got right to work - picking (and eating) with both hands. She's also been learning to water the garden and chase chickens!
Oh yeah, and I'm a doctor now.
