On July 6, we blew bubbles!
On July 9, we had our first swim class of the season.
It was something of a disaster. Madeline cried for most of it, enjoying only the part where she slid into the pool along with "Humpty Dumpty" and "Jack Be Nimble."
On July 12, Madeline was silly!
Yesterday, Madeline performed checkups on her parents, Petey, and various stuffed animals.
Then we went to the Rhode Island Convention Center for Discover the Dinosaurs! Madeline usually loves Triceratops, but she found this animatronic one (and the Kosmoceratops in the background) a little scary.
The Apatosaurus was a little less scary.
And this -- whatever exactly it's supposed to be -- less scary still.
Somehow, though, Madeline seemed to find sitting inside a giant Tyrannosaurus mouth to be the least scary part of the whole thing.
All in all, we were a bit disappointed in Discover the Dinosaurs, where the educational value was low and the wallet-draining potential was high -- but we still had fun.
And it's always interesting being downtown on a weekday. [ed.: I meant weekend -- oops!]
Later yesterday, we played with blocks.
Today, Madeline turned 29 months old!
And we went to Connecticut to visit Lauren, Dan, and Maggie. Madeline just loves Maggie.
We hung out, got some food, and went for a walk in the park.
Then we topped off the day with ice cream.
We made it home in time for a dinner of leftovers, a bath, and bedtime.
Madeline has been very interested in her brother, whom she calls Beetle, and who will be joining us soon in the outside world. She likes to sing for him (here, snippets of "Mr. Sun," the state song, and some things she seems to have made up):
