Father Daughter Day

Every Saturday morning this summer, Julie has met up with Sara for a Joe and Graham play date (it's faux Little Gym/music classes!). Until this weekend, she had also taken Clara with her--partly because she loves to have Clara with her, and partly because Ted would use that time to mow the lawn or paint the windows. Now that the windows are done (thank the Lord) and Clara is starting to sort a morning nap, Ted was put in charge of the Baby Bird for the morning, as well as for a short time this afternoon when Julie ran out to the bookstore and Whole Foods. Ted and Bird's first activity of the morning was reading a book, which of course Raleigh wanted to listen to as well. Later they tried out the Exersaucer, which Clara seemed to like but was still too floppy to truly enjoy. The afternoon was spent napping on the bed because Joe was taking his nap and we didn't want to risk waking either child up. All in all, it was a nice day for father and daughter--cooing, smiles, and burping by both!

*Julie is told by her parents that she used to sleep as Clara does--on her tummy with her butt in the air!
