applause

lady g's new song inspired the title of my post this week.  whenever i hear her new song i think of mae.  she lives for the applause.  she loves when we clap and cheer for her.  and she love to clap and cheer for herself!  she loves the limelight, and can ham it up with the best of them.

we've had a busy week so far!  the best part was spending time with hayden on monday.  because kelly didn't have the day off, she asked if mae and i would like to come spend the day with hayden.  and we had so much fun.  mae was hayden's little shadow, it was so cute.  it was the first nice day we had had in a while, so we wanted to spend as much time outside as we could.  our first stop was clemyjontri park in mclean.  this park is so awesome.  it's a couple of acres, with tons of playgrounds.  and a carousel.

hayden was so good with mae.  she helped her down the slides, and ran all around with her.  she had a good time playing big sister.

 

i didn't end up taking very many pictures because it was seriously crazy at the park!  i had a hard enough time trying to keep track of these two, let alone take tons of pictures.  but, they had a blast so it was worth it.

next we got sandwiches for lunch, and went to put mae down for her nap.  hayden and i got to spend some good quality time together, which we haven't had in a while.  what a smart, fun, sweet girl she is.  i hope mae will develop all of those qualities!  after nap time hayden rode her bike and i pushed mae in the stroller.  then we headed over to the office to meet everyone where i used to work.  a long day, but so much fun!

i mentioned last post that mae is becoming a climber.  cody and i have bins under our bed where we store some of our winter clothes.  mae has figured out how to pull the bins out from under the bed and stand on them.

 she is just a little too smart.  but it's hard to get upset at a sweet smile like that!
