We had a wonderful week with the Howe family in MN/WI, the only downfall was that everyone didn't get to see the real Eila - she was running a fever for 7 of the 9 days of vacation. :(
There was a lot of sitting around with her like this:
You can't pass up the Mall of America's amusement park if you have a ~4 year old (especially if she's been there once before and knows about it). Uncle Jerod convinced Annikka to go on the Log Chute ride!
Although it might look as though all everything went well, there was some crying once she was actually in bed without one. We're trying positive reinforcement this time, so if she makes it 14 nights without crying/whining for a bosch, she gets to choose a reward. And we're emphasizing that now there's only one baby in the house using a bosch.
How many baseball games did you get to attend when you were a kid? Not many, right? Well Annikka is averaging one a week this summer.
This Saturday was mascot night at the Knights game. Six different mascots (and an Elvis impersonator) were in attendance. Annikka got her picture taken with most of them.
Smokey Bear was the sixth mascot, but for some stupid reason he walked on the field between innings but didn't walk around the stands. Annikka was really disappointed.
Dinner together - this picture would led you to believe it was much more successful than it was (Friday evenings aren't the best time for us to do an activity).
