P1150749.JPG
Not the best quality photo, but this was really funny. It was very quiet suddenly so I went to check on her and she was so relaxed in this position. I started laughing out loud and she smiled without changing position. It was great. Now she does this pose to make me laugh.

P1150438.JPG
So of course, Alice had to go down backwards too.

P1150449.JPG
Alice didn't like slides for the longest time because she was so focused on the swing, but now she loves them! Maybe because Ezra is going down them now..

P1150451.JPG
She climbed up and went back down over and over again.

P1150476.JPG
