"wa-ta"

madelyn surprised me by saying water yesterday when i offered her some to drink. she had two versions "wa-wa" and "wa-ta" but it was very clear what she was trying to say.

in related water news, we spent a good portion of tuesday morning and late afternoon in the kiddie pool in the front yard (there is only one spot in the yard that is flat enough for the pool but we get to talk to all of our friends walking by this way). madelyn was having a lot of fun with the hose while the pool was filling up and even liked spraying it at her head - weird. and then in the afternoon she was using her bucket to pour water over the top of her head. she just thought that drenching herself was hysterical. we went through three swim suits too! her bathroom looked like we spent a week at the beach with all the suits and towels hanging up to dry. but it is only fun for so long and then she is ready to go back in the house and play. so we were in and out a few times which called for a few wardrobe changes.

i probably won't post as frequently over the next month because i have a huge project going at work with a september 1 deadline and i just won't have much free time. i only mention this because people start to worry and email/call me when i go a few days without posting. but we are heading to the state fair this weekend and i am sure that there will be some great stories and pictures to share... love.

Who would email with concern when you don't post? Not me :)
Thanks for the heads up. Love the coordinating suit and hat. She needs a beach for that schnazzy outfit.
