Mornings with M

Dinner last night with Pebbles Flinstone
A quick post as we get ready to go.

I took the day off today to hang out for a bit with Margaret and decompress before heading to Guam tomorrow night.

The result was a trip to the park with just M and Daddy which was loads of fun.

She loves her ball!
There were people practicing Tai Chi to run into the midst of, pigeons to chase and even other children to steal balls from (to be fair, it was more of a temporary trade where the kids swapped balls)!

Now, she's down for a morning nap. By the time we had spent an hour at the park, she was yawning and rubbing her eyes, so we knew it was definitely time to go home.

Watching the other people in the park
M is more and more a big kid these days. Not only will she feed herself with a fork if a grown-up is kind enough to spear the food for her first, but she can almost wash her hands by herself.

Almost because while she can climb the step stool, turn on and off the water, put soap on her hands, rub her hands together and dry them separately, she has yet to actually run through doing all of them in sequence.

While at the sink, all she wants to do is play with the water and bubbles.

It's fun.

Now we're waiting for Mommy to come home from her half-day at school and it's out out out for more fun on the town!
