Summer so far

As usual we have been busy. The backyard is slowly but surely progressing. I have been working on mortar for the brick borders, and Thad has been working on sprinklers. Nothing really looks different so I don't have any pictures to post.
It is also recital week, meaning two days of dress rehearsals and then two evenings of shows. I took Andi to the theater with me not sure how long she would last or how I would even be able to help with her running around. But she loved it! She loved the lights and the music and especially loved the "baby dancin," meaning the 3-6 year olds. She kept asking for more babies dancing. She would clap and cheer at the end of the dances, it was so cute. I think we definitely have a performer on our hands.
She also hit a milestone today, at least I think it is a milestone, and she probably could have hit it earlier but I was never brave enough to attempt it. Today she came to tell me she had to potty, and instead of going with her I just said, okay, go. And she did! I'm so excited, I don't have to run to the bathroom every time she needs to go, at home at least where she has her step stool. And I took a picture to commemorate the moment. This is one of those she'll hate later ;)


Andi is having a fun filled summer so far. We have a playgroup at the park on Thursday mornings, she has story time at the library on Wednesday mornings, and almost all the Bradon time she can handle. She is so funny with him, and he doesn't seem to mind too much that she follows him around my parents house and demands his constant attention. Here's a picture of the play group.


And this is Andi with her new bubble blower. She chased bubbles all over the yard with that bat yelling "take that, take that!"


Other than that she is growing like a stinking weed, which should not surprise me, I know, but it still does. She is only 2 and is now fully into 4T summer clothes. People are always shocked when I tell them her age cos she's just so much taller than the other 2 year olds.
