Swinging with a satisfied smile
For 4th of July, Lauren got a swing set. Not really for the 4th, but it's close to then, so we'll call it that. In the sweltering heat, Daddy and PopPop built her a swing set and she loves it. Exhibit A shows her swinging on it the following moring in her nightgown and light-up Princess boots from Granddaddy and let me assure you that it is, in fact 90 degrees at 10:00 a.m. in this picture. And her goal on that very swing? To reach the tree with her feet. The very same tree that you cannot see because it is so high in the air. God help me!

Crayola outdoor paint ROCKS!!!
Update:
She LOVED to see the bands march and even "woo-hoo"-ed on her own in approval of how certain corps performed. She clapped and jumped and yelled "GOOD JOB!" and ate pizza and was very patient during the very extended intermission. We will have to go again sometime.

Hot fun in the summer time...
It has been hot and humid here, but currently we are in a nice spell. Reasonable temperatures and lower humidity. Therefore, we are going to Drums on the Ohio (www.drumsontheohio.com) tonight for a drum and bugle corps show. Lauren is very excited since she loves to see bands on TV and marching is something she does everyday. I hope she loves it! I'll post back later and let you know...

Dancing Queen
This weekend, we went to the state Elks convention and Lauren got to go (for the 4th time in her short life!) and she loved it. She made friends with the Grand exalted Ruler (the national president) and his wife. They gave her their pins (proof of meeting them) and she was thrilled. She even hugged them each time she saw them. She also went to some of the hospitality rooms (parties) and ate some snacks and met lots of people who would all have this conversation with her:
"Hi! What's your name?"
"My name's Lauren. What's your name?"
"My name is _____. How old are you?"
"I'm three. How old are you?"
Very cute and always got a chuckle out of the person talking to her.
Then we went to the dance. There was a lot of music and a dance floor complete with a disco ball and Lauren was in dancing heaven. During the second set, the singers were dressed like Elvis and sang and danced and handed out red scarves. Only the best "dancers" got a scarf to keep, and guess who got one? That's right. Lauren. She was so happy!
Finally, she said, "Momma, I so tired from all that dancing." So off to bed she went.
It was a great time.

Sweat head
Since the temperatures here have shot up, along with the humidity, Lauren is suffering from sweaty heay. Sweat glistens on her hair line, hair is stuck to her red cheeks, sand is stuck to every available body party and she looks like an angel, though a dirty one. Kids apparently don't feel heat or cold. When do we start feeling these things? I mean, if I could turn off being offended by the weather, I would. Then I could and would stay outside all day, everyday and suffer from sweaty head myself without a worry in the world.

Sorry for no posts for a bit...
You know how it gets. Busy. Lauren is always playing with her "friends" Max and Jesse (Max is a rabbit from the show Max & Ruby and Jesse is the cowgirl from Toy Story 2). They go everywhere with her and do lots of 'naughty' things that she gets on to them for doing everyday. Max doesn't like his 'yogrit' (yogurt), so Lauren will eat it. Jesse likes to play outside, so she plays with the chalk and writes on her hands. Lauren tells her not to do it, but 'she keeps doing it anyway!'
She has an amazing imagination and it is so cool to watch and listen to and to get involved with. She invites us to play with her and her friends as often as possible. Just this morning, I heard her tell Jesse, "...the baby is coming soon".
