We had a nice day with friends. Spent a couple hours at the local pool with Ava as she hopped around in the shallow end, then went over to a neighbor’s place to lounge by their (inflatable) pool. Then off to another neighbor’s for dinner and sparklers. They had a nice chalk mural waiting for us when we arrived.
Also, a funny anecdote from yesterday. Ava’s friend Mac came over with his mom Sarah. Ava was eager to show Mac the “quacker” she’d gotten from her Gramary. It’s just a little set of plastic duck lips that make a loud quacking noise when you blow through them. Anyway, Ava brought it out and started quacking away. Sarah started calling her “duck lips.” She quacked and quacked, and before long, Mac wanted his turn.
We convinced Ava to pass off the quacker, and Mac took it up. He started quacking and smiling and laughing, and Ava laughed along. Out of the blue, Ava exclaimed, “Go, dick lips!” Sarah and I looked at each other right before Ava yelled it again. Mac just kept quacking and smiling, and Ava laughed and laughed. I’m only glad the two of them didn’t know why Sarah and I were laughing so hard.
