Flower Girl Training

This morning Elise practiced her role as flower girl in the upcoming wedding of Aunt Lori. We set the stage to model the real event, with a few notable alterations. The decor was plastic IKEA chairs; the attendees were Herman the hedgehog, Teddy Bear, and other stuffed friends; the flower basket was a soccer ball basket, and the flower petals were Cheerios.
After a few successful practice rounds, Elise summarized the role of a flower girl: "Lots of people sit and watch Elise. I walk and throw Cheerios, 'cause they're not flowers. Then I stand. Then someone holds my hand and says, 'Go home.'"

In other events, last Sunday we took the kids to the YMCA. Here are a few pictures from our fun swim.
