Pictures at the Park

Here are a few pictures I took while we were at the park. I didn't end up taking many, I chose instead to just watch Zaylee play.

Thomas demonstrated once again the sleep-inducing powers of the stroller.

Zaylee, in a series of pictures, about to go down her favorite slide - the biggest one! I love her hair in the last picture.

Michelle said...: Hey, her hair in the last one looks like me in the morning! :-) Glad the kids had fun today at the park. I should probably take mine there more often, but it involves walking and shoes, and bright sunlight.... oh well.; June 16, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Karen said...: I love her hair in all of them:) What a cutie. Now I would love to try sleeping in the stroller...I have gotten to where I can sleep almost anywhere!; June 17, 2008 at 4:34 AM
Rachel Holloway said...: How fun--isn't it so nice to get out? I am desperate for that right now... :)

Melinda said...: I love Zaylee's hair in them all. She looks like a little pixie. Sorry about the rough day full of mishaps. I feel like I have conniptions over things Evie does all the time! Hope today's better!; June 17, 2008 at 6:22 AM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
