I like water and ice cream

Around our house if you want to see Stacia get all excited just say the word Bath or start running water in the tub. Stacia gets all excited and comes running, she can not peel her clothes off fast enough to get in that tub. Her reaction to pools, and lakes has not been the same though she does love playing in her Papa's boat.

Last Friday we took the girls swimming at The Reef as part of an outing for Royal Rangers, Girl Guards, and Mighty Mites which also included having pizza and a sleepover for the older ones. Bridget did stay the night, but Stacia is still too young. When we got there the smaller slides for little kids was broken down, so I didn't know how Stacia was going to react. She happily played in the wave pool for almost 3 hours, smiling the entire time even when a wave knocked her down. She would occasionally get out and run around even finding life vests laying around which she kept trying to use as a hat. If there ever was a time I wished I had a waterproof camera this was it.
Big sister Bridget was finally tall enough to go in the tube slides that go outside the building and back in-she reported that it gets really dark when they do outside because there are no lights. Mom is taking her word on it because I am not going in one of those.
Due to it being so late we chose not to take Stacia back to the church for pizza since Bridget was able to get a ride with a friend who happens to have an extra child safety seat that fits Bridget. We did take her to Dairy Queen for some food-some chicken strips, applesauce, and a drink. We got her a mini blizzard for her treat but waited till we got home to eat it.
Ice cream that is one of her other loves, she could not get in her seat fast enough to enjoy her treat.
I am sure if you really wanted to make Stacia happy letting her soak in a nice bath with plenty of toys and giving her ice cream would do. I am thankful that she finds such pleasure in the simple things and that the little things bring such a smile to her face. Stacia is so undemanding for the most part. She loves to cuddle and will even indicate that she wants to crawl in my arms by tugging at me and saying be be be be which is her attempt at saying baby. She also says ma ma mum (mama or mom), baa baa (sheep), ba ba (bath), and occasionally banana or more correctly ba na na.
