I love being an aunt. I get to do all the fun stuff without the complications of having to say no.So when Trish and Eden came up for a week at the end of August I was ready for them both. Preparing for a 2 year old was challenging, as I had forgotten how much babies need around them to keep them happy. I was pretty successful I must say. I pick up some coloring books and crayons, Bob books, play necklaces, chapsticks and flashcards. All of Eden’s favorite things. I found some bath toys which included Crayons for the bath. That was exciting for her as all she wanted to do everyday was color in the tub. We also bubbles on the balcony, to which I was schooled on the beauty of bubble machines! I have such plans for the one they left!
The best part was taking them to see the Seattle Troll, going to zoo to look for lions, tigers and penguins. At the Komodo dragon display, Eden found a new friend and almost forgot she was there with family!
We took her to Greenlake to play at playground and to the Children’s Museum, which was fun for me because I never even knew this place existed.
I planned some adult friendly adventures also which included Pike’s Place and Freemont Coffee House. Trish also convinced Bob to make cookies and take her running. In the end they both had such a good time they are plotting and planning their next trip. I must say I am definitely looking forward to playing with someone so small again. Thanks sister!!! Oh yeah…I am still planning to drive around Seattle ,in the pretty flower car, top down with bubbles blowing all around!
