Alice and Auntie Carrie

Today was the first of many that I will get to hang out with Alice while Jaime goes to work this summer. It's like every other Wed, Fri, Mon - or so that I'm able to help out. If they're at all close to as much fun as today was - this summer will rock!

We started out with Storytime at the Barnes and Noble in Maple Grove.

Alice was a rock star! She sat in my lap - then stood holding on to a bench - and then sat on the bench! The whole time - watching the story!! She even got her first kiss I think! A boy named Victor tickled her arm - and then kissed her!!! Victor is an older guy - probably about 3!


After the story we did a little shopping - and looking on our own. Alice enjoyed being on the floor next to the books . . . but then. . . she turned. . . and saw the wall . . . of Elmo books! She did her famous "Four Finger Point" and screeched - and I whipped out the camera to get this shot of her scootching her way to her favorite red monster!


It was actually kind of hard to pull her away - but we had a lot to do this morning!


We loaded back in to the car and went to Archivers. . . geez . . Alice must go there a lot - cuz she again - was a ROCK STAR!

THEN - (nope - not lunchtime yet!!) - we went to Walmart - where Auntie Carrie had to pic up pictures. . . .and also a BOOSTER CHAIR like Grandma and Grandpa's. . .


Finally - home to Auntie Carrie's for LUNCH! Alice has drunk all of her milk - and is now in her new booster - watching Noggin' and eating cheese, apple snacks, and a cookie (yes, Auntie Carrie was smart to buy baby snacks to keep on hand!) . . .

. . . a fun day was had by all. :)
