July 4th part 2

Well, I was hoping the kiddies would sleep in today, but nope, they were up as usual. It didn't help that Eliana was up all night. But we did enjoy a very very long nap today. And boy did we need it. Evan fell asleep in the middle of a tantrum, and woke up like a brand new boy. I took Evan to a BBQ where he was able to play in a swimmy pool with some other kids his age. I was very impressed with how nice he was to the other kids, he's a good boy. When we got home everyone had their sprinklers on so Evan took advantage of that and had fun on the neighbors lawn. We ended the night watching fireworks on t.v. and watching Evan dance for us. OH! And Eliana decided to tonight to try to sit up from laying down! Yay for Baby Sister!! She pulls herself up onto her elbow from her back and tries to sit up further but just ends up flipping onto her belly. It was fun watching her try so hard. It was also funny to watch her do her other trick which is grabbing onto the "bars" of her play mat and lift herself up. She wants to get up and play so bad! She is a very determined little girl.

I just realized now, looking at this photo of Evan playing in the sprinkler, that I think I picked the wrong shirt for him to wear today.  ooopsie!
