I took the kids to the park late afternoon yesterday, we had been stuck in traffic for a while and needed to get out and let loose before heading home. The park is shaded and it turned out great even though it was hot as heck outside. This morning we went to the Kendall Branch library. We have been to several libraries and went to a great storytime yesterday at Ring Library, but when it comes to libraries the new Kendall Branch library crushes the competition. Emily loves the park and library but her favorite thing to do is sing and dance for an audience. I don't have any pictures, but just this morning Emily was singing and dancing for everyone in the gym nursery. They gave her a pretend microphone and the staff was clapping for her as she held out notes and waved her arms around in a dramatic fashion. It took me and a staff member several minutes to take the microphone away from her so we could leave. I need to find a singing/dancing class or activity for Emily. I know of some but only for 3+ yr olds. If anyone knows of a good class for two year olds, let me know. Also, in Emily news, she now likes to use the bathroom in public places. I think we spent half the time at the library in the bathroom. You definitely don't want to get stuck behind me in a bathroom line! She also finally figured out how to open the fridge by herself this week. Not my favorite development because it causes all kinds of problems, but I guess I'm lucky that it took as long as it did. Here are some pictures from our adventures.
