Sunny Days

You know you are a happy, sappy new momma when the Sesame Street song "Sunny Days" can get you to tear up! I had the most wonderful day with Ruby yesterday. My friend, Charlsey, invited me to come to Sesame Place with her and the kids. I didn't even know it was open this weekend since it's a water park in the summer. Well, it was just the greatest day! Remarkably warm for this time of year and sunny. The park is so cute and Ruby loved the bouncing area where she could take her shoes off and run around. She was just so happy that it warmed my heart through and through. She got to see her first show with all the characters up there dancing. So cute. She was in awe at first and then would point or clap or dance around a bit. I was teary.  It was so sweet. She rode the carousel and loved it and then we stayed to watch the parade. She seems to like it, except when the characters came to shake hands with the kids. She was NOT having that thing touch her! Clutched me for dear life! We missed her nap, but she was fine all day. Just super happy and loving it all. Great, great day!

We all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Ruby was fine with the 2 nights at Grammy & Pappi's and side trips to see the Kimmels, Grandma Donna, and Grandpa Jim. She loved playing the piano at both Jeff's parents house and my Aunt Lu's. Her and my brother, David got to meet for the first time and it was so sweet. They sat together and played the piano together. We were going to get her a little one for Christmas, but my Aunt Ann had one from her girls and it is now hiding in my trunk waiting for "Santa" to stick it under the tree. So excited for her to see that Christmas morning!

Speaking of which...I am off to clean the house and get it ready for holiday decorations!  Yes, my friends, these are some sunny days and there are more to come!
