a bath and a horse

Both of our girls love to take baths. If Mikayla knows that someone is in the bathroom, either taking a bath or showering, she will quickly crawl through the house and sit in the bathroom, excited that she should join in. It is really cute and funny. A few mornings ago she did something that is rare for her. She got to take a bath by herself. Usually her and Jennifer take a bath together, it really is faster and easier. But I remember the days when Jennifer bathed in the sink and loved so I thought Mikayla needed a turn too. She loved it, as you can see by the pictures.

Love this! She was giggling the whole time and babbling away. It was cute.

My favorite, I must say.

She looks as if she is trying to be a proper lady, even in the bath.

Then there is this sister. Her obsession with horses is not dying any time soon. Most five year olds would have been done with a pony like this a while ago. But not Jennifer, she drags this thing around the house almost ever day. In fact tonight the pony is sleeping in her room beside her bed.

After reading the pony a few stories the other day Jen decided to ride the pony on the couch. Interesting place!

The next pictures are from this afternoon. Jennifer took pony outside to play on the swing set for awhile. It was very funny to watch her. She drug that pony up the steps and pushed it down the slide for about fifteen minutes. Then she tried to put her on the swing but that didn't work so well.

Giving the pony a little push down the slide.

Jennifer, to the pony: "I go down with you." She then proceeds to climb on the pony's back.

Me, while watching: "Honey, no you cannot go down on the pony's back!" Yes Jennifer was going to go down the slide while riding the pony.

Pony went first, followed by Jennifer.

Bill hooked this string on the pony a few weeks ago, it is the reigns. They were coming in handy today to pull the pony around.

Oh, how my girls make me smile!
