A lovely day

Yesterday was a lovely day.

Nothing in particular happened, we didn’t do anything too special – it was just filled with love.

From the moment I woke up – legs pinned between two fuzzy mutts – to the moment I closed my eyes with said fuzzy mutts snoozing peacefully on my bed, it was lovely.

Bubba and I went back to swimming lessons yesterday morning, having missed a week because of her cold. She was a brave girl and went right under a few times. She did attempt to drink half of the pool the first time, but seemed to learn pretty quickly to close her mouth for subsequent times.

We had a milestone too … she’s finally (at 16 months!) tall and heavy enough for her forward facing big girl car seat.

almost too little for the car seat – january 2011
last trip in the bubba car seat
first trip in her big girl car seat – may 2012

After the car seat transition, we headed out to have an afternoon glass of wine (mumma) and water (bubba) in the sunshine with the girls: aunty, a couple of her girlfriends, and our lovely friend Joy who is visiting from New York.

When it was time to come home, Bubba kept looking at me in the rear view mirror of the car and giggling. It’s a treat being able to see each other even more – although mumma is very careful of her driving.

At home our fuzzy loves were very happy to see us, happy for cuddles, happy to share balls with Bubba – and some of her dinner too. Bubba was full of kisses, giggles and cuddles for mumma.

Yep, that’s what I call a lovely day!

    That was a lovely day. It seems that something new and lovely and smiley happens every day xx

  3. Big girl, Bubba! I love the new car seat and the car-full of smiles. So sweet. And it beats standing on the console, like I do in my doggie harness seatbelt.

    Love and licks,
    Cupcake
