Sydney's school ended with a bash at the end of June. They played in the water, finger painted, and ate lots of food that parents brought in. She wasn't shy when it came to playing in the water or eating the food. It's nice to relax a little and not have such a busy schedule with school and home visits, but I also feel a little lost on activities to do with Syd. Especially the more structured language activities.
I signed Syd up for a mommy and me swim class. She is loving the water. We live in such a hot area and I was a fish growing up, so it's important to me that she knows how to swim and is comfortable in the water. I don't like the fact that I have to take her hearing aids out and it is rather difficult to sign with her as I am holding her up in the water, but she seems to catch what I am saying most of the time.
Syd enjoyed watching her uncle in the Clayton 4th of July parade. She loved watching all the kids on their bikes, scooters, ATV's, wagons, and motorized bumper car pass by. It was pretty hot by the time the parade was over so she became a crabby patty. But nothing a cold drink and grilled cheese couldn't fix.
We also took Syd to the county fair. She loved petting all the animals in the petting zoo. I thought it was pretty neat too until a deer tried to eat my shirt off me. She got excited watching the model trains chug around the little mountains. She was memorized by all the fast spinning rides. These aren't the same fair rides I remember when I was a kid. There were roller coasters and lots of rides that spun really fast. But these were bigger and faster then ever. But we just watched because $12 for all of us to ride the merry-go-round was a little steep for me. We all enjoyed ourselves.
