Madeline was in her first parade on Friday. Her daycare had a little 4th of July celebration and invited the parents to watch the parade. Madeline proudly marched while waving her flag. She had so much fun, that she wanted to recreate the parade throughout the weekend, wearing her hat and marching around the house. As you can see, she takes her patriotic parade duties quite seriously!
As expected, the weather was HOT, HOT, HOT this weekend. That meant we ended up spending more time than we would have liked indoors. Madeline has been so into 'art' lately and loves having her hands traced, so I thought it might be fun to try out some finger painting. I think it was a big hit. Here is the sequence of events....
And, when you're even too dirty for a bath, it makes you thankful for the HOT weather, because you can just hose off!
(check out her sprinter's form!)
We have two monster tomato plants this year and have tomatoes coming out of our ears. Madeline loves picking the fixings for a fresh caprese salad, now if we could only get her to eat them!
To finish the weekend, Madeline received her first flowers from a boy!! Her buddy Theron walked right in the door with all the confidence in world and presented her with these flowers. She was a bit overwhelmed and then they both got super shy and wouldn't pose for a photo! They had a super fun playdate, though!
All in all it was a great weekend and Madeline had so much fun!
It's hard to imagine having tomatoes already. Are plants are just starting to really grow this week. It looks like you have quite the future artiste on your hands. :0)
