Eloise helped me clean out the sprinklers. She was delighted everytime I turned them on, and she sat on my lap and weilded pliers to give me some help when the sprinklers were off. After we got them operational, we let her run around in them for a while. She was delighted, and is now very attentive anytime I turn water on outside. We gave her the sippy cup to discourage her from licking the puddles on the driveway.

I finally got Eloise's dress dyed, and none too soon. She received many complements on her bright colors

I managed to get a couple pictures before Eloise pulled her pigtails out. Aren't they curly and cute? She is reading her current favorite book. I would guess it is a second grade reader. We picked it up at a garage sale. It has a story about kittens and a story about turtles that she loves. She now says both words (key-ee and tur-al).

Eloise enjoyed visits from many of her favorite people. including Grandpa. They are pals now

Eloise has learned there is a fun place to climb if she turns over the ottoman. It is frequently upside down now.

We had a fun couple days playing at the beach with Gavin, Kyle and Cameron. Uncle Wes built great sand castles.

Eloise liked to sample salt water when she was splashing, thus the tongue is out. She only tried licking the beach a couple times.

This is Eloise's favorite way to take a nap.
