Crazy Hair, and other fun stuff.

This is what happens when ponytails come out right before bed.....She is just waking up, and a little frustrated that I ran to get the camera instead of picking her up.

I had to tell this great Aimee story. The other day we went to this fountain at the mall. It shoots water out of bunches of jets all over the sidewalk, and kids can go and play in it. Betty, walked around and kind of got close to the water, but wouldn't actually get in it. Katie ran right in to where the other kids were playing, stood right over a water jet (it was during a lull in the water shooting) and got hit in the face with it...she screamed and I couldn't grab her right away and she got hit with it again (didn't hurt her, just freaked her out)...so she wouldn't' get anywhere near the water the rest of the time...and if the wind blew water to where we stood, she would freak out again. Aimee, however, loved every minute we were there. She ran and played and got soaking wet. We were getting ready to go and the loudspeaker said they were going to shoot the water high...they will do it to music and the water gets pretty intense. So all the kids pulled out of it, including Aimee, who was just told we needed to get ready to go. Next came the testament to how well behaved this child can actually be. The music started and water gushed out of the middle of the fountain, and ALL the kids squealed and ran back in...Aimee started in and stopped and looked at me with this "OH, PLEASE mom!!!" Look on her face....It was so sweet, and the fact that she didn't just go in. All I could do was shoo her back out there and say "go!" lol. She is such a wonderful kid!
