We have been doing a lot of activities that I haven't had my camera for. The first is swimming lessons. Amelia is doing so well they have given her a yellow band. That means she can go in the pool without a grown-up as long as she stays in the shallow end. Her teacher said she is only a couple of lessons away from a green band, unrestricted access to the pool without a grown-up. We have been to the park a million times, including a picnic with Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Ike. Amelia has spend countless hours playing in her new backyard and is anxiously awaiting a new swingset. Amelia also started indoor soccer. Her team name is the Glitter Sharks, a compromise between the 4 girls and 4 boys on the team. She has had one game and scored her first goal. It was very excited to watch her swell with pride after scoring. She was also goalie and stopped about 10 goals. I also took Amelia to Disney Princesses on Ice, which she loved. She chose a sno-cone as her special treat and $15 later decided she didn't like sno-cones so I had to choke down a sno-cone because I paid $15 ridiculous for it. I will tell you that sno-cones taste better in my memory.
