Swimming. . .No Quilting

Riding the tail of an Orca

From my previous post regarding our two and a half year old granddaughter, the orange spools have also become  "jabs" shots. She tells me that she is the doctor and then she gives me a jab! Or, it is a tongue depressor. She also has used it as a whistle and pen light. 

We've made deviled eggs together. She likes the white; but, not the yolk. She baked a chocolate zucchini cake. She delighted in licking the bowl. We've made many green salads and she has torn the lettuce and added the chopped ingredients. 

Mostly, she is running to and from activities. Friday, she and her mama had a photo session in the park for family pictures. It was a hot day, upper 90s. Yet, she still ran all over the park and went through two water bottles in an hour and a half! She loves going to the park and climbing on the apparatuses.

My friend. Wendy, has a swimming pool at her house. She invited us to come as often as we can and her schedule will allow. We've been three times.

Spinning on a noodle

She loves the water. She now will tell her mama to back up so she has more room to jump in the water from the side of the pool. Off the steps, she will act like a
beaver and do a sitting dive. She can easily glide five feet. She does not want to swim on her back. 

We have convinced her to lay still with the promise of getting to sit on one of the floats. She is particularly fond of the Orca and watermelon. 

When she tires of the float, she pushes herself off. When you bring her to the surface for a breath, she giggles and says "AGAIN!"

Retrieving a ball with her mama

She sleeps well after a pool session. She is somewhere between London and Oregon time. Although yesterday morning, she slept in until 6:30AM which is so much more pleasant than 3AM! 

I have quilted a little bit during a couple of her naps. Although, I will admit to taking a nap with her because I'm as tired as she is!
