Another night at the Ex!

Ayla seems to be enjoying "syncro" - a.k.a Synchronized Swimming. She had enjoyed two double periods on this over the past two days and speaks of this the most when talking about her day. She likes being the strong one so the other little girls sit on HER shoulder, you see. She was cold when she got in the car yesterday afternoon, so to the Ex she wore two layers of sweaters, two layers of sox, and then once she bought her little mouse hat, she insisted on wearing it all around, too. Before dinner Ralph and Ayla had one of their "serious" discussions about life events, which always makes Angie and I smile. I like that they seek each other out when they feel the need, I think it speaks well to their relationship, I hope they keep it up as Ayla gets older.
Mom and Ayla seem to be enjoying each other's company, as they browsed around the Ex last night, shopping and stopping to look. Ayla also bought a shoulder bag, which I love, it's very cute, and Angie's birthday present (not telling what it is!) and then ice cream and a beaver tail and donuts. And a water. Falling asleep in the car on the way home, with her mouse hat on and her double layer of sweaters, I couldn't help but think she had an excellent time at the Ex!
