Guess who came to visit?? SARAH!! and I'm pretty sure you know, but just to clarify, when Sarah is around, we call you Lil, which is short for Little Sarah. See, your silly BFF wants someone to name their baby after her - she's asked everyone, even random pregnant people walking down the street. When Mommy was pregnant with you and we found out you were indeed a girl, Sarah asked, again, but I had to tell her that I couldn't officially name you Sarah because we already have a Sarah in the family, BUT I did tell her that we could call you Sarah, or Little Sarah, which then turned into Lil. Everyone gets confused but me, you and your BFF, Sarah, and that's all that matters, right?! Anyway...
Sarah came to visit!!! She got here on Friday and after you showed her all your toys, we headed off to Mexican with the gang. You may be surprised by that, because you were supposed to be on restriction from the Mexican restaurant, BUT, we went last Saturday with everyone and you did great, so we thought we'd give it another shot. And BAM, you did great! Thank goodness Sarah was there to play with you, oh, and your little jar of peanut butter. You were so cute, you hugged and kissed your peanut butter like it was Lovey or Monkey! We all thought that was funny. And, Uncle Jaybee kept making a bird sound and you were just looking and looking for that bird in the restaurant. We kept trying to tell you that it was Uncle Jaybee, but you were convinced there was one flying around our food! Mean ole Uncle Jaybee (but quite the impressionist!).
Saturday morning, we got up and saw the sun shining! Since we didn't know how long that was gonna last, we immediately took off to the zoo. I think it was 9 when we got there! A great time though, because all the animals were up and about, getting their morning jog in. Especially the cheetahs, or something cat like. They were going right up to the window and you got really scared! Kind of scared Mommy too! Since Sarah was with me, I let you run most of the time and you thought you were king of the world, or I guess queen, huh! Oh, and you pointed out, like 200 airplanes! I think we saw most of the animals, which was a first, but you still loved the giraffes the bestest...
After the zoo, we grabbed a quick bite at one of Mommy's faves, Calypso Cafe, and then Mommy and Sarah did a little shopping on our own while you napped with Daddy. Apparently, you didn't nap as long as expected/wanted, so you and Daddy went to the pet store and then Whole Foods - don't ask. You and your daddy will have some interesting adventures, I just know it.
On Sunday, we packed in the car again and went looking for a new home! Sounds kind of funny huh! We put our house on the market on Thursday, so now we have to figure out what to do once it sells!!! Daddy and Mommy enjoyed the rainy drive dismissing house after house, and you, too, enjoyed the 2 hours of Elmo you got to watch the whole time, but I'm not so sure about Sarah! I think she was entertained by you, though. You are quite funny, even when you are not trying!
Sarah left after lunch because you had to go down for a nap to get prepared for... The Circus!!! That's right - we took you to the circus at 17 months!! Let's see, me, you and Daddy went. And Auntie Steph and Ellie, and then Mr. Lee, Mrs. Leigh and Ryan. We all were very concerned that we would have to leave the second loud noises happened, or clapping for that matter, but, to our surprise, all 3 of you kiddos did fantastic! You were a little skeptical at first, but once those elephants came out, you were loving it. You even were clapping and waving to them! At one point, you really scared your momma though! I was sitting down in our seats and you were standing in front of me. You kept squatting and standing up, but then one time, you squatted but didn't stand back up. I tried pulling you up, but you were stuck! Somehow (and I'm pretty sure it's because you are related to me) you got your legs stuck between the chair in front of us and the concrete step. Daddy and I had to twist your feet to fit them back through the little slit that they slid in, somehow! Oh, and all this was in the dark while the circus was going on! Kind of scared me, but once it was over, I was giggling on the inside. You are just like your momma - we do some goofy things!!!
Believe it or not, we were at the circus for 2 hours and the only reason we left was because the parents were ready - not the kids!!!! I think we'll be taking you to another circus for sure!!
It was a busy weekend, but as always, funtabulous!!! Love ya darling!!!!
