Evergreen State Fair

Our visit to the Evergreen State Fair this weekend was only moderately successful, keeping in theme with life-after-paci. Did we mention we said goodbye to the pacifier a week ago? It's gone surprisingly well at nap and bedtime, but Bea has lost her brave edge and is suctioned to me whenever she feels a wee bit unsure.
I can't blame all of tears shed at the fair on the lack of paci as she was pecked by a chicken in the petting zoo (30 seconds after the picture was taken) which sent her into a downward spiral that resulted in tears over all subsequent animal viewings, even bunnies(!). She liked the tractors, the carousel, and of course, the scones, so all was not lost.

Island Toddler!

Bea was meant to be an island kid, no doubt about it. She hiked, swam, boated, feasted, and ran free to her heart's delight. By the way, she recommends we all try stripping to our diapers on the beach. Though I only got to join Ian, Bea, and Nana for a couple of days, it was completely rejuvenating.
