I’ve given birth to the real Fancy Nancy. Harper is taking ballet this fall, and she is to wear a black leotard and pink tights. Her hair must be in a bun. Harper obliges, but in the evenings she puts the attire on you see above, and we walk around the neighborhood and survey the construction near the library. The girls can’t wait to climb and sit on those cool chairs.
I have to find a spot to put my new diploma. Right now I’m just carrying it around with me wherever I go. You know, the gym, Starbucks, the grocery store. It makes things more poetic.
We have a soccer player in the home. For her first game, she played forward and goalie. Have you seen the movie The Replacements? Hadley is Jon Favreau’s character.
We went to the DC Triathlon for the third year in a row to see Geoff race. This is always a fun time, and we finish the day off at Shake Shack in Dupont Circle. Aunt Callie tried to not hog the baby, but it’s hard. It’s real hard.
I love Harpers outfit. LOVE it. I have no doubt Hadley has some intensity on the soccer field … And I really really love that ! Hog the baby — that’s the duty as an aunt !
Isn’t that a riot?
I am glad you are giving thought about what to do with your diploma. When you figure it out, please let me know, as I found mine in the bottom of a box of random things stuffed into the spare bedroom closet last week. It’s now out of the box – but sitting in a pile of more random junk on the floor just outside the closet, which means the toddler could find and use it as a coloring book at anytime.
Also, how could you NOT hog that baby? Squishy goodness right there!
Thanks, Sara! I appreciate that.
Hahaha! Maybe we should have a blog series on creative places to take one’s diplomas. 🙂
