Hot, Hot, HOT

It has been beyond hot here the last few days. Like middle of July hot. Not only hot, but humid. Ridiculously humid. But what does heat and humidity make? A very happy Madeline. Joe blew up her swimming pool last night. I filled it with water this morning before dance class and then this afternoon she got to swim! Apparently the water was still too cold for her to go all the way in, but she still had a blast. KJ got to take a quick dip after nap. That was all good 'til she went under. She was done.

We all went to Joe's softball game tonight. Beautiful weather down in Shorewood. This was the first time Madeline watched the game for more than 3.5 seconds. She asked a lot of questions. I was afraid I wouldn't know the answers if she would have kept asking. My base/softball knowledge is quite limited. KJ also had a great time. She was completely mesmerized by all the guys on the field. That was fun to see. After the game was over Joe took Mad onto the field and let her run the bases. That was the first time she's ever done that. She asked right away if she could do it next time.

One more quick story and then I'm done for the night. This afternoon Mad and I were in the bathroom while I was braiding her hair before going out to the pool. She was wearing just her undies. She was staring at herself in the mirror, which is the usual, then pointed at her nipples and said "When I get bigger, these will grow. And then when I have babies, I can milk it, right?" Gotta love it. I laughed long and hard at that one.
