The Little People had an incredible adventure this afternoon, making their way across a bridge and jumping an astronomical distance up to the windowsill, all in order to swim in the pool and try going underwater for the first time. Everyone who was everyone was there: Pilot Paula, Police Officer Patrick, Sarah, Maggie, Sonya Lee, Grandma & Grandpa, and even Eddie, who was too shy at first to join the pool party, but ultimately summoned his courage and took the (literal) plunge. Not only did the Little People embark upon this great outing, but Julia delivered it in epic form. I am pleased to present to you a snippet of THE LITTLE PEOPLE OPERA:
I'm guessing Julia's underwater theme has something to do with the fact that swim lessons have been canceled for the past two days due to overly high chlorine levels at the town pool. To make up for the disappointment of missing today's lesson, we had a friend from Julia's school over for a play-date, which was a lot of fun for all kids involved. Madeleine worked herself so hard trying to keep up with the big kids that she took a good, solid 3-hour nap this afternoon. Instead of being shy or wary at all when our guests showed up, she immediately warmed to Julia's friend as well as to the friend's siblings and mother; in fact, when the mother was ready to leave after making sure her daughter was feeling comfortable with a drop-off play-date, Madeleine began to sob and reach for this other mother, crying out, "Courntey! A goin! A Courntey!!" Luckily, the real Courntey's remaining presence was enough to calm her and get her re-interested in the excitement of trying to join in everything her big sister and friend were up to.
