The girls were thrilled. Julia immediately took the Deep Water Test and passed, which allowed her to spend time jumping off the diving board, and Madeleine joyfully splashed around and gracelessly flung herself under the water in the shallow end:
As we were leaving the pool, Madeleine decided to wax romantic on the fact that the pool was finally open. Unfortunately, after having spent the school year swimming at the Y, she apparently forgot the name of our town pool, which made her romantic proclamation a bit lackluster.
MADELEINE: (sighing heavily) Aren't you just SO happy that...
Silence.
MADELEINE: (trying again) Aren't you just SO HAPPY that...
Silence.
MADELEINE: Aren't you just so happy that...
Silence.
ME: That Rosemary Pool...?
MADELEINE: (jumping back in with gusto) Aren't you just SO happy that Rosemary Pool is finally OPEN??
I am. I really am. I'm also so happy that you finally completed your sentence.
And to make their exciting first day of vacation EVEN MORE EXCITING, the girls are having a sleepover tonight at Auntie Caitlyn's. They apparently decided to arrive in true fashionista style:
Work it, girls!
(And by "work it," I mean wear fake glasses and let your hair fall all over your face, Madeleine. Haute couture at its finest!)
hahah these two doofuses. I just couldn't love them more. Madeleine had a few more of those types of sentences to share tonight and also decided (right as we were giving them goodnight snuggles) to hop up out of bed and declare "I'm gonna play school!"
ReplyDeleteIn the car driving to Caitlyn's, she literally had like a 20 minute long story that was probably 3 relatively short sentences long. It took so long that I had to just talk over her to tell Caitlyn the story I was going to tell her that Madeleine interrupted with her neverending story.
