There's plenty of hard days, but today was one of those days when being a mother was really fun all day. Elizabeth ate nearly an entire scrambled egg cooked in oil with melted cheddar cheese for breakfast, which kicked things off nicely. Then we had storytime at the mall (she dangled her feet in the mall fountain), a two hour nap, a visit from Aunt Lindsay, and gymnastics. At gymnastics she swung on the big trapeze four times and climbed the 'rock wall' up to the slide by herself for the first time. At the end she hugged her teacher and told her 'bye bye', which is such big progress. After we got home, she ate a pretty big bowl of zucchini soup (GREEN vegetables!), went on a bike ride with Jon, took a bath and laughed when I washed her hair, and went right to sleep. It doesn't get much better than that. And throughout all that were lots of hugs and smiles and reading her favorite books many, many times.
She even took her baby doll for a swim in her little pool and didn't complain when I didn't let her bring her to bed because she's all wet. So now I have to go try to dry her out, because Elizabeth is sure to ask for her as soon as she wakes up in the morning.
