Summer is here!

Laura Beth went to her first "friend" birthday party. Our neighbors had a birthday party for the daughter, Joanna, who turned 4 years old last Saturday. Laura Beth loved swinging with her daddy, blowing bubbles, and finding a new beverage that she LOVES. This is Laura Beth drinking her first Capri Sun. We never keep those in the house, so she never drank one. She took to the straw pretty quick.

The drink was gone so fast and of course she wanted another one. ha!

She also ate REAL Cheetos for the first time at this party. We've been giving her the "healthy" Gerber cheetos. I never bought the REAL ones. Ha! Of course, she liked the REAL ones better. ORANGE hands and sticky shirt from the Capri Sun was how we left the party. ha! So fun!

We started taking Laura Beth to the swimming pool last week. I want her to "get used" to the pool so that her and her daddy can swim this summer in Texas. Cindy McRight was nice enough to offer her secluded pool so that other children jumping in and splashing in the pool wouldn't be too scary for Laura Beth. The first day Laura Beth was so nervous. I could feel her body tense up at just SEEING the pool. She allowed me to hold her and walk around in it but not for very long. She didn't scream, but she was not caring for the pool AT ALL. We went again a couple days later. She did better, but she still wasn't totally happy about being in the pool. However after the second time at the pool Laura Beth said, "Poo" for "pool." Now every lake, swimming pool, or other large body of water, Laura Beth calls them "poo." It's really cute.

We move to Texas in a week (June 10th is when we are driving out). Our last week here in Greenville has been fast and fun with vacation bible school. I'll post pictures soon. Laura Beth is also learning to ride rocking horses by herself...video to come soon. :)
