4th of July at Grandma's house



We all went to Grandma's house for the week of July 4th. She lives in the Chicago area among many of my siblings. Amanda was able to play with her 6 cousins 3 of whom are 3 years old. It's interesting to see the vast difference in ability between all these 3 year olds. It will be fun to watch them all catch up to each other as they get older.

As an extra added bonus, Nana and Papa came for a short visit from Wisconsin where they were seeing some of Nana's relatives.



Nana was able to bring some new clothes given by a woman she met out in California. Amanda is one well dressed little girl!

This is her real personality. When you wonder what she's really like, take a look at this picture and it pretty much sums it up. Look at the eyes - it's all in the eyes.




And, just because this was a cute shot of her bunny that was found in Grandma's crib



As an aside, Aunt Mary, when she was still living there, put stars on her ceiling in her room. Amanda was not fascinated by them in the least. She was a little afraid of them. We wised up around night 3 and did not turn on the light so the little stars wouldn't light up. She wondered where they went, but seemed relieved they were gone.

All in all, it was fun and exhausting. Traveling with a toddler is not for the weak of heart!
