We started this week off by celebrating as a family S's "Forever Day". It is kind of crazy thinking that it has already been two years. We decided to get her 2 gifts that let her use her imagination. She loves blocks! She was thrilled when she saw this giant box to create with. We have played with them everyday!
She also really loves music, so we got her a set of musical instruments. She was really excited to open them and start playing. I may go a bit crazy hearing all the music, but I love this creative outlet that she has. She has a great imagination and loves to create things herself.
We went out a few days to go on a walk or ride a bike. She is becoming really good on this balance bike. She can go pretty good distances without having to touch the ground. One morning she rode close to a 3/4 mile on her own.
We met up with grandma, some aunts, and cousins to hit the zoo Wednesday morning. I realized on our way out that I hadn't gotten a picture of her to this point so we stopped for a quick photo op. She loved all of the animals and told dad all about them when he got home that night.
This picture is thanks to Aunt Ashley. That was seriously the biggest turtle I've ever seen.
Our cousins got here late Friday evening. They'll be here for a week. Nana and Papa always do a super fun Halloween party. Since these guys live so far away, they are never here for it. Nana decided it would be fun to do a Halloween party in July to include these cuties. One thing that has somewhat become a tradition is minute to win it games. I loved seeing S participate in things!
