Well - Veronika went to NYC on Sunday for the whole day, and including a Saturday-night shopping trip, I had the kids for over 24 hours all by myself - a first! And it went really well. We had fun on Sunday, going to Mom's house to swim and check on the boat - which was a good thing since it was sinking!! So between lunchtime and nap-time I had to squeeze in an emergency repair! The kids were great and I got the boat fixed in the nick of time. We were back home in time for Anna's nap. Overall the weather was fantastic, and it was almost relaxing even for me!
Speaking of Anna, she's been really keen on walking now, and will grab onto anyone's hands for support so she can zoom around. Once she is clamped onto your fingers her legs immediately start the walking motion, and pretty often her legs go so high into the air that it looks like she's trying to climb up invisible stairs. Her flexibility is amazing - she is able to put her foot up to head-height without any problem, and just sort of does it for fun. She did this in the tub, I think trying to get out! Our tub is a super-deep Jacuzzi so it was futile, but I was impressed. Her other marine-creature features include a funny crab walk she does, for speed. She walks on her feet and hands, with her legs straight up - maybe it's a monkey walk, but she kinda goes sideways like a crab. Continuing the animal analogies, she still eats like a bear!!
