Daycare, smiles, pool

Madeline's first full(ish) day of daycare was apparently a fussy one. She's had her fussy days with me, too, so we'll see how things go next week.

She might have fussed for much of the day, but when we picked her up around 3:30 she was all smiles. Back at home the smiles continued.

And they were joined by giggles at Summer's tickles and raspberries.


Madeline seemed a little toasty and we deemed ourselves all deserving of a treat, so we inaugurated the kiddie pool we'd set in the sun on Wednesday.

Madeline mostly liked it but maybe got a little cold by the end. And she never really splashed, but instead sat and felt the water like it was a blanket.

She was happy still for a while longer when we went in but returned to fussing for the remainder of the evening and fought sleep, too. Now all's well and there's a long weekend ahead of us. Phew.
