Beach Day...

Well, not really. We've been to the beach 4 times so far this summer and never have we really gone on a real "beach day." It's either REALLY windy, therefore creating a sand storm, or pretty chilly etc. etc. yet we stick it out for Jo! She just looooves to play in the sand and never cares about anything else going on. She's getting braver and braver with the water. She's still not going in it or even really letting it touch her but she's going really close to it without freaking out or acting like it's going to kill us like she used to! She loves water in any other circumstance, baths, washing her hands, kiddie pools etc. etc. but it's just something about the ocean that USED to terrify her! I predict that by the end of the summer she'll be actually going and playing in the water at the beach!
















Here's video evidence of how brave Jo has gotten! I love when the water is coming closer and closer and she just keeps backing up further and further haha!


Here's Jo this morning eating her cereal out of pan... because she REALLY wanted to and said "please" haha.


Here's Jo this evening after a nice bath, all cleaned up from the beach! The overall cleaning that is involved after a day at the beach is absolutely ASTONISHING!

If we get this house, which is looks like we will be, then we will only be 1 mile from that beach. I'll be able to just walk there with Jo!
