Beach season opener

A visit up to a nearby beach yesterday- it was unseasonably warm and sunny. The tide was way out.. a trip to get water for sand castles led to rather quick shedding of clothing, and Miss E couldn't get enough of the (quite cold) water.. We hadn't anticipated needing a bathing suit (truth to be told, we were headed to do some hiking but changed plans as Emma's little legs were tired from the bike trip the day before). Gosh what a day.

It's all about the bike

Emma has a bike, and is totally enthralled with it. She had to learn all the words for the components, and wore her helmet more often than not, inside, for a few days. In fairly short order she's gotten the hang of the coaster brake, and occasionally I have to break out of a fast walk to keep up :-) Now I watch her testing- trying out steering with one hand, killing time waiting for a slower companion by weaving back and forth..

Snow Fun

We've been up to the snow a few times- Emma loves just being out, and her bright pink saucer. One sunny day we were out and Emma announced she had to pee.. after a trial run, she succeeded, behind a tree(no easy feat in a bulky one-piece snowsuit). She proudly announced "I'm a mountain pee-er!" Now that's my girl. Carseat shot is a tired and happy Emma, ready to go home.
