Pfoooooh . . .

The babes are outside with Matt taking a bath. When he poured in the hot water, he hadn't yet added enough cold, so the water was very warm. Carmen stuck her hand in, signed hot and said "haaaaaah," and then blew out of her mouth, pfooooh, indicating I should blow on it to cool it off. I laughed at the thought of blowing on their bathwater.


They're back from the bath. We horsed around on the floor for a bit and David lifted my shirt and gave my back several kisses. That is his favorite place to kiss.


Circus today. We got tickets from the library for reading lots and lots of books. We didn't think the babes would enjoy the circus itself (even though the ticket agent kindly gave us center seats), but we did spent a good hour visiting the animals and watching the preshow on the floor of the arena. The preshow was as good, if not better, than the circus--it gave the babes the opportunity to watch the acrobats and clowns directly at the rings, and no cannons, whips, or brain-rattling motorcycles were involved. We were also able to control what of the antics of the clowns C&D watched--when a clown fell off his chair, Carmen cried in sympathy. When the same clown started hitting another with a juggling club, we moved on to the Chinese acrobats. We're sure C&D don't need any ideas about using their toys in unsanctioned ways.

The babes' favorite animals to visit were the zebra and the elphants, which we signed for again and again.
