This week brought relief from the super hot weather and Henry and Eleanor took advantage with lots of good outdoor time. They both had a blast at the Zoo, especially the outdoor lunch at Café Brauer. Henry has recently added “Ashes” to his vocabulary, and to celebrate he likes to dance “Ring around the Rosie” while holding hands with Eleanor. He is also improving his balance – he can now go up and down the step at the front door – and is very impressed with himself when he “runs” off it while playing in the front driveway. Both Eleanor and Henry had a great day at swim class this week – they both blew bubbles in the pool! Mom had some friends in town this weekend, so Dad and Lala were each in charge for a day. Dad got to go to Bubbles class with Henry and do preschool drop off with Eleanor. Eleanor was very excited to show me how to sign her in and put her things in her cubby, and at pickup time Henry showed me the way to her classroom. On Saturday, Lala took the kids for a trip to Whole Foods, and came back with a pineapple for a yummy snack.
