Last week was another fun week! We kicked off the week by visiting UNCG. It was great to see some of my old coworkers and walk around campus on such a beautiful day. We strolled along Spring Garden Street and stopped in to see friends in the Honors College and the Admissions Office. Then we met my old coworker, Megan, for lunch. Later that evening, we had a picnic dinner with Daddy at Harmon Park. The week also included more pools days and play dates, sweaty stroller rides, and a trip to the library for Music & Movement. After our morning outings, it is tricky to get Emmy home for a nap without her falling asleep in the car. Usually I will pull out one of her puzzles that I keep in the trunk for just this purpose, but sometimes even the puzzle can't keep her awake. Right now, I have about a 50-50 success rate at transferring her to her crib to continue her nap. If she wakes up, sometimes she will babble and play for a while before falling asleep again. Last Thursday evening, we went with Grammy and Grandpa to a summer concert in Winston-Salem. It was at the Historic Bethabara Park, and Emmy loved dancing to the music and chasing around the bubbles. We did our best to get a group picture...Grandpa's selfie skills could use a little work :) Throughout the week, we have had some big improvements with meal time. We are continuing to work on using a fork and spoon, and we have also started to use a plate more consistently, as opposed to placing the food directly on the tray of her high chair. Emmy is still not a big fan of meat, and despite my best efforts, that section of her plate remains the least touched.
As I write this, I am watching the Bachelorette and settling in after being at the beach with all the girls. It was so fun relaxing, eating junk food, catching up, having our feet in the sand, walking along the beach, and just being together. It had been a few years since we had gone to the beach, and we were all so excited to resurrect the tradition once again. While Mommy was away, Boomer was solo with Emmy. He did baths, fixed meals, and even fit in a trip to the grocery store. He really is Super Dad! He had a little bit of help from the grandparents. Over the weekend, he took Emmy to Star. They splashed around in the pool, and Emmy was even brave enough to jump off the side! Emmy also loved pretending in the play kitchen set and visiting the chickens. Today, when Boomer had to go back to work, Emmy spent the day with Grammy, reading books and generally being spoiled, until I got home. It feels good to be home again, but only for a few days. The Bakewell Beach Week is very soon!

While at the Thursday night concert, a photographer took several pictures of Emmy and then sent them to Boomer's email. You can see that Emmy had a lot of fun, and from her curls, you can tell it was a warm evening!
