Popsicles!

I've attempted (and failed miserably) to spend some one-on-one time with Addie each day. I'm just now coming out of the fog of initial exhaustion and recovering from the c-section, so I hope to do a better job of it in the future! It makes a huge difference in her behavior and how she responds to me and the girls.

But one day last week I actually succeeded at finding the energy to take her outside while the little girls were napping. And this is what we did:

Amazing how appetizing a 2 year old can make a popsicle look!

I'm loving this picture: her expression, her eyes, the blurred popsicle, and the drips hanging in mid-air!

I had RieRie come outside to check out our little popsicle girl, and this is Addie looking at her (as well as her showing her the popsicle in the picture above). This is one where I just wish she didn't have red popsicle all over her!

 The last few bites were a little tricky.

But she was determine to get every last bit!

And this is the reaction I got when I told her there would not be a 2nd one!

As our friend Mary Michael said, without the popsicle stick, these pictures would look like something out of a horror film! Thankfully, each is sporting the popsicle stick, reassuring readers that I am not taking pictures of an injured child!

Can you tell how much fun she had though. This maybe a favorite summer past time, minus the cleanup. Baby pool, here we come!
