Playgrounds and Ice Cream Cones

It was an exciting week. Sunday Elisha started saying "Micah" very clearly.
Monday she really convinced me that she knew his name when she asked for him on her changing table and at the playground. We went to the Mall of Georgia. It has an inside play area for preschoolers. Micah has been wanting to go. We haven't been much this summer. There were other things to do and the times we went, there were too many school-aged kids playing. For the first time, I let Elisha play with Micah instead of just watching. She crawled around and pulled up on things like she owned the place. She was so proud of herself that she could hang with the big kids. She'd stop now and then, look up and me and say, "Micah?" Once she knew where he was, she'd continue cruising around or trying to make friends.
Tuesday (pictures below) we went to the "Treehouse McDonald's", as Micah calls it. Again it was his request. We were spending time with Aunt Andrea and that's where he wanted to go. Andrea treated us to ice cream cones. Elisha pointed and then signed both eat and please. I couldn't resist such a polite request. She ate ice cream, making funny faces each bite but always wanting more. Then she played on the playground a while, just like Micah. When did she stop being a baby and start being a toddler?!?
