Summer Fun

Lately, I've been trying to avoid cooking as much as possible. I'll put SK to work @ the grill and on the weekends, we go out to eat pretty frequently. Tonight, we went to a Korean restaurant. SK poured some barley tea (bo-ree-cha) for ESK to try.

ESK: What's that?
SK: Bo-ree-cha
ESK: Booty-cha?
SK: No (trying hard not to laugh), BO-REE-CHA (enunciating)
ESK: Oh. Booty-cha...

In other news, ESK has been having a lot of fun this summer at her various camps. It appears she is quite the social butterfly and has no problem adjusting to new situations. At her princess fairytale dance camp, the teacher told me ESK was a riot. Apparently, she was asking a ton of questions and making all kinds of non sequitor comments. (I'm almost positive she was being pretty disruptive, but the teacher was very understanding.) At gymnastics camp, I watched her be the first to volunteer to climb up a high structure and jump into a foam pit without hesitation.

Whose child is this? When I was a child, I barely had the guts to ask my teachers to use the bathroom. And physical stunts? No way! I'm guessing she gets this part of her personality from her dad.

AMK is a very chill, happy baby. She's at that very lovable, interactive stage. She has her screaming moments, but it's so easy to get her to smile and has a tendency to stick her tongue out when she's happy. Very cute, but very drooly and wet.

On the way back from dinner tonight, I told ESK to share her yogurt melt treats with AMK. I watched as ESK carefully reached over and handed AMK a yogurt treat, one by one. After a few times, AMK just left her hand out, palm facing up, happily waiting for her next treat. It was pretty cute and so nice to see them getting along.
