We also bought Alaina a magnetic farm set for our refrigerator. It's hard getting things done in the kitchen when Alaina wants to play. To solve this problem, Nate and I decided to get something special for her to play with in the kitchen. The magnetic farm seemed perfect. It stays on the bottom half of our refrigerator. It even plays farm songs! Alaina starts dancing whenever she hears the farm music. I knew it would only be a matter of time before Alaina's toys made their way into every room in the house. Here's a cute video of her playing with the farm first thing in the morning- she's still in her pajamas!

New Toys!
Alaina got two great new toys recently. I found 75 cent xylophones at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I bought two of them, one for Alaina and one for my music center at preschool. Alaina loves to play the xylophone. She likes to make her own songs and I love watching her play! It's so cute how she smiles and laughs while banging away on the xylophone. Take a look:

More Pool Time!
We have been enjoying the hot days of summer by spending more time at the pool! Yesterday Alaina and I went to a pool party at my friend Gina's house. Many of my teacher friends were there with their children. Alaina liked playing with the older kids, but she was a little unsure about the pool. She's used to the heated pool at the YMCA, so it was a little cold for her. She was happy just being outside and watching the other children play.
Today was another very hot day! It is now 9:00PM and we are still under a heat advisory! It was a perfect day for Magic Waters. This was Alaina's first visit to Magic Waters. We had such a fun day with some of my teacher friends and their children. It was so hot that Alaina loved the water and did not want to get out! She had a great time splashing around with her friends.
Alaina spent most of the time sitting on the deck and watching the other kids in the pool. Gina brought her kitty out for Alaina to see. Of course she kept calling the kitty "Zoe."
Alaina was obsessed with this Dora chair that she found on Gina's deck.

Swim Class
Today was Alaina's last day of swim class for the summer. We have been going to swim lessons at the YMCA every Tuesday for the past 5 weeks. My teacher friend also signed up for the swim class with her son, Aidan. Alaina and Aidan loved swimming with eachother in the pool. Eventhough the swim lessons are finished, I plan on taking Alaina to the pool every once in awhile so she doesn't forget all her great swimming skills!
Alaina loves the pool!
All ready for swim class and playing with Mommy's keys!

Celebrating the 4th of July!
It's hard to believe that the 4th of July is here already! Summer is going by way too fast. It was hot, humid, and rainy here today but I shouldn't complain because last year we were all wearing sweatshirts on the 4th of July! Eventhough it was raining we still went to watch the parade downtown. We got a little wet, but it was still alot of fun. I thought the loud noises from the motorcycles and firetrucks might scare Alaina, but she did really well. She was entertained by all the sights and sounds and did not seem scared at all! We met up with some of my teacher friends and their children at the parade. Below are some pictures from the parade. I love how curly Alaina's hair gets when it's humid! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th!Papou and Yiayia with Alaina

Day At The Children's Farm
My parents and I took Alaina to the children's farm at Lockwood Park this afternoon. Alaina enjoyed looking at all the different farm animals. We saw some goats, rabbits, pigs, cows, and horses. Alaina called all the animals "Zoe". She does not recognize the difference between our dog, Zoe, and other animals. How cute! The goats were Alaina's favorite animal. She loved watching Papou feed them. Below are some pictures from our fun afternoon!
