that's a big puddle

see how well she holds on, and how well mommy "let's go"? i just need to be prepared for disaster if i let go...this picture was taken before an hour or so of play. later we revisited the tire swing. she had done so well on it before, held on tightly, i didn't twirl her too much. so we were braver later...and she wanted to go "faster faster!" so i spun her a bit faster. she put her feet up on the tire and slipped right through the center and did a stellar splashdown on her back, in snow angel formation. i quickly picked her up laughing, and she stood, dripping wet, with dirt in her hair and down her back, horrified. i could tell she was going to cry so i kept saying, like a crazy person, "it's okay! it's just water! it's just water!" she shivered, but it was very warm out and i had felt the water before she fell in (earlier) and it was warm too. if only i had brought a change of clothing...or shoes. i DID happen to find a pair of christmas pajamas i bought for her ages ago and never opened in a box from the old house. the sandals i tried on her from the same box were just too small...size 3 and she wears size 5 or 6 now. see pictures of the special outfit further down.

she wasn't afraid to ride on kohle. she requested it, but she held onto his neck with great vigor and kept saying, in a mock "i'm doing something strenuous" voice "i have to hold on tight"
