| "The Michelin ballerina" in her swimsuit |
We took Q swimming for the first time today. The brief sequence of events was as follows: Wake up, get ready to go, arrive at pool, get in swimsuit, pee on Mom and dressing room floor, rinse off in the shower, swim for 30 minutes, begin to get fussy, wait for Dad to finish going down the water slide, wait for him more, wait for him more, eventually realize that Dad has decided to go down the water slide about 10 times in a row, scream bloody murder as we walk back to the dressing room, scream bloody murder as we shower, scream bloody murder as we get diapered and dressed, head to the car, scream slightly less bloody murder as we're strapped in the car seat, promptly fall asleep and nap for the next three hours.
Sometimes, Mom likes to play dress-up. And sometimes, Mom puts together a horrendous ensemble that utterly fails as a coherent outfit. This is one of those times.
The biggest highlight of the week was Q's baby dedication at church. It was a very special and symbolic time for me as I dedicated my daughter to God and promised to lead her in His ways to the best of my ability through things like regular church attendance, reading her Bible stories, and praying with her. I am also making it my ambition to live in godliness, because what I want most for Q is for her to grow up to be a godly woman. I was blessed to have both Steven and my in-laws attend church for her dedication in support of me and Q.
And finally, Q got to meet her brand new cousin Landon this week (Landon has the most wonderful expressions and mannerisms), and the three cousins had a mini photoshoot in their Valentine's Day onesies...
...which quickly descended into chaos.
