Build a Bear

We met Katherine after school at build a bear at fashion valley mall. Astrid used her gift cards from her birthday and took about an hour to decide what she wanted with lots of questions and probing from mommy and Katherine. In the end she created her best friend, Rosie for only $105. Haha! She’s super cute and fun! 

An update on Abe, he’s still getting to know his new roommates. They want to be his friend so bad. It’s taking time but eventually it will happen!

 

 

Y Swim

We tried the y family swim today after mommy got Astrid. We only had 25 minutes of swim but it was worth it. We’ll do it again couple more times this month while mommy has her pass active! 

 

 

Swim

Astrid had a great day at school, played a bunch at home and then went to her summer swim lesson. She’s responding well to the teacher and trying everything that the teacher asks her to do.. it’s great. She just likes to tell the teacher lots of stories..but the teacher is good at redirecting her. Here’s one of the dance photos that wouldn’t upload yesterday. 

 

Dance Photos

We had a lot happen at home.. bird hitting window, roof painting, playing, playing and then off to the neighbors for hair. Then off to get dance photos at her dance studio. Lookout for some cute photos! They’re not uploading now 

Tea Party

It was a busy day. Astrid played on her own for a long time while mommy and daddy worked on painting the flat roof in the back. It had the gray flat roof that is required by the state of California. We coated it with a special roof paint that has reflective stuff and makes it not look as funny as the gray with the brown shingles. Now it’s all brown and we’ll coat it again tomorrow. Mommy got pretty sunburned…

After she finished she got ready fast and we went to Claire’s birthday tea party at Claudia’s tea house in Del Mar. it was very beautiful and a lovely tea. At home we did more chores and Astrid got to play with Caleigh and Cassidy for awhile!
