Genevieve LOVES fruit. It is by far her food of choice. Today she enjoyed a pear. This is what she gave me when she was finished.

Yay! The pool is open!

What a fun day! Aunt Coney, Uncle Daniel, and Alice came to visit. We had a cookout at the Volz house, and headed to the pool for the first dip of the season.

Genevieve headed straight for the baby pool. After some convincing (and realizing that Lily was NOT going to play in the baby area), Gigi tried the big pool. She was very excited to learn that she was tall enough to stand on tip-toes!

Lucia arrived in an identical bathing suit. This was not the least bit interesting to Genevieve.

Lily and Genevieve got to stay up late and watch the fireworks from Kings Island.

Go Tim Caps!

We took a trip with the Hogans to the new ball park in Fort Wayne to cheer the Tin Caps on to victory. Genevieve could not quite get the name down.

"What are the called again, Mommy?"

"The Tin Caps."

Oh, of course. GO TIM CAPS!"

She sat next to TJ and talked his ear off. She May have fallen in luv just a bit too.

She was actually quite interested in the game (or sitting next to TJ at least). She enjoyed the bounce house and T-ball in the kids area. Daddy took her to the merchandise shop and offered her anything she wanted (earlier she expressed interest in a pink foam finger) from the store, or a snow cone. She picked the snow cone.

TJ got TWO game balls, and gave one to Gigi. The nearby tween-age boys were green.

After the game, players were available for autographs. I could not explain this in a way that made sense to Genevieve. I enthusiastically told her that the players would sign their names on her ball. She looked at me as if I were insane. She said it was HER ball, and she wanted to write her name on it. I had no good response.

We were also able to run the bases. Gigi LOVED it! So much so that she ran the bases four times.

Artist? Or complusive?

She started grouping found objects by color when she could barely walk. I thought this was a developmental milestone that was past. Today I looked in her “igloo” tent and discovered I was wrong. Green is the color of the day!
