Saturday was one of the dad/daughter days that you hope (and your pretty sure) you’ll remember 5, 10, 20 years from now. It was nothing significant from a milestone perspective, just a full day that Lauren and I spent together. (Christine and Maile headed out on their own adventures.)
I’ve done this many times with Maile, but not quite as much with Lauren. She’s getting to the age where its possible now and its fantastic. We started off at a new gymnastics class – which was great and I’ll blog about it later this week most likely. Then we walked home and had some lunch. Then Lauren conked out for an epic nap – which allowed me to watch the Stanford/USC game (not happy with the result, unfortunately).
And then we headed down to swim class a little bit early and just ran around on Crissy Field for awhile. That was definitely the best part…
My little San Francisco girl
Lauren is at this great age where she seems to kind of know what is going on, she imitates us all the time (I had her running all over the field throwing her fist out and yelling “Let’s Go!”), but the best part is that she is just smiling and happy 95% of the time. Sure she gets frustrated sometimes, but her general take on the world is that everything rocks and she just wants to get after it (and that typically means run and climb and try everything in site – especially if her big sister is doing it.)
In any event, Lauren with Maile is amazing on a daily basis – but it was fun to get Lauren solo for a bit. Mental pictures of it all – a good day, indeed.
One more time...
