At Señor Fish with Shanna, Edith, and Auntie Jamie.
It came from the hands of Auntie Jamie: her first lollipop. First, she tried to bite it, and then realized the pleasure that comes from rolling it around in your mouth. She also learned the pain of dropping it on the floor.
After a stop in Griffith Park for a DHH Game Day, it was time to bounce.
Over to Aidan's 7th Birthday Party. ELF and Maddie amazed their parents by loving the bounce house, even when it became filled with older kids. Both of them desperately wanted to spend the entire party in there, and would lean on the bounce house from the outside when it got too rowdy inside for them. For Jess, it was the first time that Maddie seemed like a little girl and not a toddler.
The bounce house became even more awesome when the Dads came in - that's Brian, Aidan's Dad, to the left and Aidan flying above him.
The taller ladies remained on the outside.
Inside, Aidan blew out the candles on this Super Mario cupcake cake made by Alison.
After watching Emma do this a few times, Maddie came over to join as it was awesome. First, pick up 2 handfuls of sand.
Next, turn and dump them on the rubber ground. Repeat until bored.
Max Page, PI kept an eye on the rest of the park while the girls were otherwise engaged.
Back at home, an evening of couch time with Dad.
ELF came by for a play date, their parallel play now becoming closer to prependicular. Maddie now spends her time following behind Ellie on tip-toes wherever she goes, one step behind her every action. Here ELF decided she wanted a snack on a big girl chair.
