Friday, I didn't want to have to carry Brooke in all the rain from Tropical Storm Bonnie (it was raining when I left for work), so she stayed home with Jim. Turns out, the so-called Tropical Storm was a dud (although it ruined my morning commute), but it was nice for her to have a day at home anyway!
Brooke and I had a great time this past weekend. On Saturday, we went to her friend Andrea's first birthday party. It was outside...the day was really beautiful! It was hot, but the sky was clear and so sunny! There were ponies, and Brooke took her first pony ride. She seemed to like it - no smiles, but lots of squinting at the sunlight, and she even petted the pony's neck (thank goodness she loves to "clean her hands" with wipes!). Brooke had her first taste of cheeseburger (which was delicious - I haven't had a cheeseburger on a charcoal grill in ages!) and tried potato chips. She also had snowcone and cake. Liz and her husband, Andrea's parents, did a great job with the party, and the craft table was fun! The birthday girl is so sweet and promptly grabbed a handful of icing!
Yesterday was "Mommy-Daughter" day when we just stayed home and played ALL DAY. It was great. I like to do that on the weekends, she gets so tired of being on the go all the time. She's always an angel when we're out and has fun wherever we go, but it's never quite the same as being at home playing with her toys!
Now, we're into another week, and looking forward to next weekend, when we'll be with family and finally having her party!
