New Swimsuits!

Every. Single. Day. the girls wear their swimsuits. 

I tell them that it is not summer yet, and they say "Its okay! We won't get cold!" Sure enough hours later, they are still going strong, swimming, dancing, running, hiding, all in their swimsuits. I don't know if you realize this, but swimsuits just make life so much MORE FUN. Clearly. So, since they were getting some really good use out of them, I decided that we should invest in suits that actually fit. I made the mistake allowed the girls to pick out their own off the rack. How does that work, you might be wondering?

Kaia & Ashlyn: "PINK! I want PINK!"

Ashlyn: "This one, Kaia!"

Kaia: "Oh yes, with a fancy tutu!"

And the excitement builds:

 Together: "We love these! Can we get these pretty pink ones? Please?"

 So, that was that. Pink. Tutu. Swimsuits. I have no idea how aerodynamic they actually are in a pool, but they sure do the trick for pretend-play time. Now, what to try next in a swimsuit? How about riding in the "bus" (toy box) to "school"?

 

Later after Connor got home:

Connor: WHAT? What are THOSE? Are those actual SWIMSUITS? 

(Rolling his eyes). This is just way WAY too much pink.

So, I guess I'd say they are a hit:) Summa-time here we come!
