Time at the Park

Since I have been "off work" (unemployed) I have been enjoying lots of time with the Baby. We have been to the park several times and Riley loves it. She hasn't always been a fan of the park. She would just stand and stare at everyone, but now she runs from toy to toy to play. However, we still have an issue....of course! Riley will NOT share! She threw a fit every time another kid got on the slide. She would sit in the middle of the slide and not let any one else go. It was kind of embarrassing for Mommy. She would even get mad if she saw another kid get on a slide or swing she wasn't currently on. Apparently, no one is to touch anything that she has had contact with. I have quite a job ahead of me teaching her to share. When no one else was messing with her stuff she had a lot of fun playing. I really enjoyed watching her. And we'll keep practicing the sharing.

For those of you who don't know.....I have quit me job at the Bank. I do have jobs lined up and will be employed soon, but I am enjoying some time at home with Riley. I feel very lucky to have this time with her. She is so much fun and we are having a blast! Of course, I still think she would rather be at Grandma and Papa's house. She is handling being stuck with me very well.

Wedding Baby

Dancing Baby

Ivan Brozenic and Baby

Riley had a great time at Scott and Ashley Poyser's wedding, but she had to leave before the dancing began. I was heart broken that no one got to her her in action. She LOVES to dance and I was really looking forward to seeing if she would be shy or not. She got fussy around 8 o'clock and I knew we would going into dangerous territory every minute that we stayed. Since that's pretty close to Papa's bed time also he took her back to the room so she could sleep. Mommy was happy to make up for Riley when it came to the dancing!!

"Go swimming?"

The Baby had a great time at a wedding that we went to in Minnesota. Dave's cousin, Ashley, got got married August 29th and we went to celebrate with the family. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, which has a really cool indoor pool. Our original room overlooked the pool and we had to switch with Dave's parents (Grandma and Papa) because Riley would not take no for an answer when she asked to "Go swimming?" a 1000 times. She actually asks if she can "Go swimming?" and it is so cute to hear the words. Her little voice is so cute! Sometimes she gets confused and says "Go swim go?". We knew it would be a nightmare if we were staring at the pool all weekend. She had a wonderful time running in the water and playing with her cousins, Avery and Blaine when we finally did go swimming. I prefer these kinds of pools because I am not forced to get into a swimsuit myself. I can stand in my clothes and chase after her with minimal water damage to my clothing.
