Conquering Fears

Sara has become a master

on the park slides.

She's been a little too small

up until recently.

Her friend, Gunnar loves the slides

and he goes down them all with no fear.

I can tell she's wanted to join him

but she's been too scared.

Over the weekend,

we took her to the park again

and she was a completely

different girl.

She went down the toddler slides

with absolutely NO hesitation!

She even went down the BIG kid slides
Even though it scared her mommy.

We will definitely need to fit in

more trips to the park

on nice sunny NC days.

We can tell she is so proud of herself

for conquering her fears.

These are such special moments

to witness as a parent.

Play date with Ella

 

 

We snuck in a play date

with Ella

before she became a big sister.

 

We had a little lunch

and played with the water table.

 

We spent a little time in the pool

and on the trampoline.

 

We didn't stay long

because it was nap time

but we had fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later in the week,

we got to meet Ella's new sister

Addison Ann Rothstein!

She is perfect.

 

 

 

Sara enjoyed meeting baby Addison.

Though she wasn't too sure

about Mommy holding the baby.

 

 

 

 



Play date with Eli

 

 

After breakfast with Esmae,

we met up with our friend Eli

for a play date at the splash pad.

 

It was a hot summer day.

Perfect for water fun.

 

This was Sara's first time

at a splash pad.

She is a big fan!

 

 

 

 

 

Sara & Eli still weren't sure

how to play together

but I'm sure they will be best of friends

just like their mommies.
