Bathing Beauty

Aunt Chris sent Isabella this Strawberry Shortcake bathing suit a couple weeks ago and Bella hasn't had a chance to wear it since the weather was cool last week. Lately Bella has been wanting to wear her pajamas when she takes a nap, which is totally fine with me (I don't like play clothes with germs/dirt on them from playing at the park in her clean bed, anyway). Well, today when she was looking for her "nap pajamas" she came across the new bathing suit and asked to wear it for her nap. After a little hesitation, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to wear it and she asked so nicely. A couple hours later when she woke up, she wanted to go swimming, after all she was wearing a bathing suit. At this point, the clouds had come in for our well-known afternoon thunderstorm so I told her she could swim in mommy's bath tub pool. She had a blast and I was able to get ready to go out to dinner while she practiced floating and splashed around.

Here are the pics:

She said, "mommy, I have a pretend beard."

Our little contemplative girl.

This is her look when she's told it's time to get out of the tub!
