Fun Summer Night

Libby and Dad were on their own tonight, as Mom finally got to go for a much-needed night out with her friends. So, what started out as a simple walk around the neighborhood turned in to a fun summer night for Libby and Dad. After a nice long walk, Dad bought Libby an old fashioned ice cream sandwich--nothing fancy, just vanilla ice cream and chocolate cookie. After finding a quiet spot on a bench in the park, Libby got her first taste of summer. Let's just say the ice cream sandwich didn't stand a chance! After a first tentative bite, Libby made quick work of the sandwich. It was so good, Libby managed to keep herself relatively clean.

After heading back home, Libby had bath time. She is obviously aware that Salt Fork is looming on the horizon, as she spent the time working on her swimming and splashing technique. She was so good, Dad won't need to shower for a week--he's still not dried off.

Bath time was followed by a nice cup of milk and Libby's favorite books. After two readings of Hippos Go Beserk and two readings of Not the Hippopatamus, Libby and Dad sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider" like ten times. Libby's got the hand motions down, now she just needs to work on the words. In all, it was a great night. The only thing that would have made it better is Mommy. But it was definitely a great start to the summer!
