Iowa: Days 4 and 5

Wednesday: Day three. I have no photos because the day consisted of me sleeping in late and Daddy and Great Nana playing the stakes at church bingo. I guess Great Nana was the big winner--she found one dollar in the church parking lot. What a lucky gal.

Auntie Bonnie and cousin Ellen arrived late on Wednesday after I went to bed for the night. Here I am with Auntie Bonnie and Ellen and my newest cousin who is still "in the oven". He is due out in November. Already Ellen is comforting him: she is patting him through her Mommy's tummy! What a great big sister.


It's been a long time since I last saw Ellen so Thursday morning we thought the best way to catch up was with a community bath.

Ellen was fascinated by my male part, asking 'what's that'...I didn't have an answer. I just know that sometimes water comes out of it and the stream is fun to play in. It's also fun to pee on Mommy and Daddy in my spare time.

I had a fun time watching how well Ellen has mastered the art of squirreliness in the bathtub. This was one of my first experiences in the big tub (Mommy and Daddy were giving me a bath in a storage bin--how embarrassing), so I had a lot to learn.

After a thrilling game of Bathsketball (I barely won, by the way), we decided it was time to exit the bath and move on to other toys, ie: everything around the house we are not supposed to get in to. It sure was fun to catch up with Ellen. I am sure the next time I see her I will be able to run laps around the house with her. It is hard to keep up with her while I am still crawling...she is FAST!

Aj, You and Ellen should team up. You will be the best Bathsketball team ever.

WILL BE??? I beg your pardon, but I dare you to find two more perfectly matched Bathsketballers anywhere.

BTW: What that?

Ellen, honestly I don't know what 'that' is. Otherwise I would tell you. Thanks for sticking up for us--we are the greatest ever.
