Here Leah's climbing on board and at the helm (or running away from it).
Loading and dumping the dump truck was a very serious endeavour!
Back at camp, trying to fill dada's shoes!
Sadly, our camera battery didn't make it past Saturday afternoon - I was kicking myself for not bringing the charger.
On Sunday morning, Leah, my mom, and I were treated to Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Chef Kramer even made his own hollandaise sauce! The meal was delicious - it was even made with free-range eggs that we receive weekly from a student of mine whose family raises chickens. There is such a noticeable difference in the color and taste of these eggs - YUM!
Leah got her outdoor fill at the Ladd Center playground and fields and the Mill Stream. It's so much fun to watch her play - she's becoming so independent, wanting to climb, walk across shaky bridges, and slip down slides all by herself. Her independence also comes through in her communication. She certainly knows what she wants - which shoes she wants to wear (yes, shoes are still a huge fascination), what and how she'd like to eat, and when she'd like to go outside (which is always). I love that she is growing into her own self, and that we are able to see and understand, through her actions and her "words," so much more of her thoughts and ideas. She's fiercely independent and stubborn, and I just need to keep reminding myself that these are good qualities.
Finally, our Mother's Day festivities ended with a late afternoon trip to Tubby's Ice Cream! For the second year in a row, we've taken advantage of their Mother's Day promo - free ice cream for ladies! Leah took part, too, with a sample-sized cone of blackberry ice cream - she loved it, ate every last bit, was wired for some of the ride home, and then crashed.
