Sun For Saturday!

It was so so nice out today! Perfect for a Saturday off with my family! Erika was up by 8:00 which is a more than fair time for her to wake up! I'll take anything after 6:00 on the weekend. Her cough has been increasing again and both Peter and I agree it is time for a doctor visit. We still suspect slight asthma or allergies. Either way, she needs to be checked again. We are highly considering a new doctor too.

Ever since Peter and I have spent time with my friends Sharon's daughter, we have been Hannah Montana watchers in addition to The Suite Life Of Zach and Cody! We used to watch it before Erika was born and continue to watch both shows. Well in turn Erika has become a fan of "Tana" as she calls her. Yesterday I had to do a quick Target run and Erika saw this shirt and went crazy over it so of course I had to buy it. When she put it on she was SO SO SOOOOO happy. Peter and I couldn't believe it. The smile on her face was worth the $8.00 shirt! Better than any toy...well close to the reaction when she opened Barney.

All day she was kinda slapping her shirt smiling and saying "Tana." It made us smile and laugh every single time. It never became old. I bought it in the big girls section too which is surprising but true. It is a little long but truly it fits! She looks bigger than 22 month old when she wears that shirt! My mini preteen?? Oh no.

We took Erika to that one nice park that I really like today. This particular park is always so crowded that it is difficult to even get a parking spot. We had to drive around and around waiting for someone to leave. But it worked out and of course we had a nice time. We started by attempting to fly Erika's Elmo kite that Daddy bought for her. We were having some trouble and so that didn't work out. It was hysterical trying to get that kite up in the air. We looked like fools!!

And there she is with her turtle kite which we couldn't get up either! After the kite flying disaster we went over to the playground and did that for awhile. It was crowded but still nice. Erika's fear of the slide is completely gone and she does it no problem. Peter and I couldn't believe how social Erika is. She makes friends with everyone. This one girl was sitting alone on the top of a hill and Erika went up there by herself and just sat down with the girl.

Erika was also great at sharing her ball with other children that were at the park. After the park we had to stop at the pet store for fish food and then we stopped for orange juice and lemonade. I could tell Erika was exhausted because she was so quiet.

That red behind Erika is a large fish that in meant to be climbed over. Erika is not quite able to do it yet but always wants to try. But the thing is, is that while she is trying, all the other kids are standing there waiting and waiting! Usually I have to go up there and remove her so that the other kids can get through! One time Peter went over the fish with her and that made her very happy.
