Wheels

Jimmy and Macey have been spending most evenings outside, when the sun is finally setting and the temperature is only in the low 90's. I usually continue to hibernate inside and clean up dinner, wash clothes or just sit with Bailey. Jimmy takes Macey on a walk, usually starting out in her little pink car. (She washed it on Sunday while we washed our cars, so she has wanted to show it off all week.) ;) They came home earlier this week with Macey saying "wheel, wheel!" Jimmy explained they had found some houses with pinwheels in their yards and continued by telling me they had walked a pretty far distance to find them. Macey had pushed her car and run all the way home, which was pretty impressive to us both.


The next morning, Macey woke up saying, "wheel, dada, hand, street." She repeated this and just "wheel" in an exasperated tone until I finally agreed that we could go, in the stroller, to see these amazing wheels. I was already dressed and showered and we were going to be late to playgroup... but I strapped her in her stroller and we went searching for these wheels. I called Jimmy as I was huffing it up a huge hill, in the heat that was already bringing out sweat, to thank him for causing this little journey. But her excitement was worth it...

When she saw the first wheel, which thankfully was not as far as I had expected it to be, she said "out wheel!" She was so happy to finally see her new favorite thing. She doesn't look as excited in these pictures as she was in person... ;)

Last night, I joined in on their walk and had the best time watching Macey. She was so happy to see the wheels again and also introduced me to some "princess" statues.

When we first saw the statues, she walked around and patted each one on the head saying "Hi Princess." She continued this circle until she decided to hug each princess... thankfully, I caught some of this on my phone...



When we finally convinced Macey that it was time to go, she ran all the way home, laughing. It was a perfect evening together.
