This weekend, we celebrated the 4th of July! On Friday, we took a trip down to the Humphreys Water Park and spent the whole day splashing and playing in the water. Tay especially enjoyed the slides she could go down by herself...the slides were padded and not too long, so she could sit herself down at the top and slide down onto another padded area where we would catch her (so she wouldn't slide onto the cement). She kept doing it over and over, and luckily, there were very few kids around when we were there. It was like we had the resort to ourselves pretty much until later in the afternoon when it started to get more crowded. The weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful time! We also swung by and visited our friends who had just had their second baby...so amazing to see such a small baby and think of how my own little Tay was so small. Tay loved seeing the baby...she kept saying "beh-bay, beh-bay" in a whisper over and over while she peered at the little one's face. She didn't try to touch or poke the baby, but instead she held her hands out like she wanted to hug the sleeping baby.
Saturday, the weather started off not so great with some rain and dark clouds, but as the day progressed, the rain let up. I actually got called into work for a bit, so Jeff and Tay went over and roamed the festival grounds while I did what I needed to do, and then I headed over to see the festivities with them. After a short time or perusing the booths, we decided to wander over and see the "dog park," but we weren't sure exactly where it was...but then we ran across some batting cages! Jeff and I each ended up batting a rotation (40 balls!) and we wandered back to the festival grounds. Note: Batting in flip-flops, not a great idea. After getting some soft-serve, we decided it was time to head back home, have some dinner, and rest up before the fireworks. Well, after dinner, Tay just seemed so tired that we decided to go ahead and give her a bath and put her down for the night. She went right to sleep, so Jeff and I shared some ice cream and watched the fireworks through our window from the comfort of our living room.
Sunday, we went to church then breakfast...and E-mart (a Korean version of Wal-Mart). After all the running around, Tay was quite tired and went down for a nap. While she napped, Jeff and I cleaned house and discussed what we should do that afternoon...and Jeff found a children's museum on-line that seemed fairly close! So, after Tay woke up from her nap, we went out in search of the Samsung Children's Museum. It was actually quite easy to find, luckily, so we spent a couple hours playing there with Tay - she particularly enjoyed the water-room where she could splash and see the balls go down a "water slide" of sorts.
Monday morning, Tay felt a little warmer than usual, so I took her temperature and it was 99.3F. She was also coughing a little, but she still seemed in good spirits, so we decided to go ahead with the plan for the day, which was Lotte World with the Cortezes. We may have been pushing our luck a little, but she held up like a trooper and had a great time riding the Carousel and playing in the ball-land. She did get a bit cranky around lunch time, so after she ate a little, we put her down for a nap, visited the Toys R Us store there, and headed home.
Poor thing, as the evening progressed, she must have started feeling a little worse because she was very clingy and kept asking for ma-ma, so I nursed her a bit after dinner and she fell asleep for a short while. She really needed a bath, though, because she was sticky with yo-baby yogurt and dinner...so Jeff prepped her bath and when I went to put her in, she started crying so hard because she didn't want to be detached from me...so I ended up getting in the tub with her and holding her while we bathed her. This is highly unusual because she usually loves bathtime, but I guess it's because she wasn't feeling well. Poor baby. Anyhow, after the quick bath, we wrapped her up in her towel and when I laid her down on the bed to put her diaper on, she calmly lay there with her eyes closed and bundled in her towel. I thought she was asleep, until I put her diaper on her...when she slowly opened her eyes to look at me with that little mischievous sparkle in her eyes and a smirk on her lips and took both hands and unstuck both sides of her diaper tabs! That little stinker. :) I yelped and grinned at her, and she let out a little giggle as I put on the rest of her pjs...and put her down for the night.
What a beautiful little girl with a funny funny sense of humor. :) Even when she wasn't feeling well, she still wanted to play...I love her so much. Well, she slept OK through the night with no fever, and this morning after I dropped her off with Beth, she texted me that Tay ate well, so I'm hopeful that the bug she got will pass quickly.
Until next time...
