*** I love my Little Fish! ***

She has turned into such a little swimmer this summer. The only prob is that mom wants to sit poolside with a book (don't worry . . . I am paying close attention!!) and Little wants me to be in with her so she can play pretend with me.





I typically get to be "Mommy Ursala" and she is "Baby Mermaid" or "McCall Ariel Mermaid" and in her rendition I always have to take her "mermaid clothes" and we go back and forth taking them off and putting them back on. She also loves to rescue her "babies", which are typically floating leaves or flowers, and put them to bed.





Another favorite pool pretend is making food- her specialties being fried rice (which we made after swimming one day) and noodles (that obsession courtesy of Kung Fu Panda). It is adorable to see her playing pretend even when I get dragged into it. And of course I have passed the cannonball legacy down to her. One of these days she will figure out how to grab her knees and do it and not just scream "Cannonball"!
