We have a new activity that the Babe is enjoying. She is loving to play soccer. We have a small ball that resembles a soccer ball that we've been kicking around outside for the past few days. She is so cute as she runs with her arms pumping to go kick the ball. Today it looked like she picked up a new move, stopping, and kicking the ball behind her.
This is great. A minimal contact sport that doesn't require hand contact to any of the equipment. Perfect! She's also been working on this with a large beach ball in our basement. Thankfully there isn't much she can damage, and has a ton of fun kicking it at the wall or us. The ball may have met its match, so we need to go buy a new one. My husband thought he accomplished that task yesterday, except he brought home a 48 inch ginormous beach ball. It didn't register that this would blow up to be bigger than the Babe. Its still not fully blown up because while we are both filled with a lot of hot air, not quite enough to get it filled up in an hour. This is a good thing, because the ball may mysteriously disappear very soon.
For now, we will try to take advantage of the cooling down summer weather. Currently the Babe and her Daddy have gone to look at the boats by the lake, while I take a little break. When its just the two of them, we have come up with a new solution to how to carry her meds, since my husband would look a little funny carrying my extremely large purse. The Babe carries her backpack that is pink and purple and looks like a teddy bear. She loves to carry it, and this way she has everything she needs with her. This is a sign of the future too, because one day it will be her responsibility to carry her medication with her. However, when she's with me, I'll always plan to have whatever she needs, in more ways than one.
