The weekend after
Ingrid's birthday weekend she had a final visit from her babysitter Angie and Angie's daughter Ella. It had rained so, I set up the playhouse in the living room to give Ingrid a change of scenery. She has mastered the art of going in and out the door. Ella set up the playhouse as a store, and was selling all of Ingrid's toys to her mother for invisible dollars. After each sale, Ingrid would step out from the store and retrieve her toy from Angie. Ingrid has also mastered the art of knocking the house down. When she is ready to dance, she heads over to boombox and starts bobbing up and down. A month later she has mastered a number of additional dance steps - in addition to bobbing, she throws her arms up in the air, claps her hands, twirls in a circle, thrusts her belly forward and walks on her tip toes. Not all at once. But often in rapid succession. The polka dot dress photos were taken the morning of her first music class prior to which I determined the dress was too big. So you see her studying the bird guide on the front patio with a smaller dress on while she waits for her chauffeur. Toward the end of the month, Renee, Savannah, Ingrid and I took a lunch swim break at the racquet club (which turns out to be very near our house). Ingrid had a great time swimming, climbing in the chairs and meeting a three-legged dog.
