After a busy Saturday we came home and washed Thomas' car. Well Thomas and Julia washed Thomas' car while I sat down and relaxed and took some pictures. 
Julia did a great job of helping and she was even ready to wash Mommy's car too. She definitely liked the bubbles.
We gave Julia her own washcloth but she preferred to just use her hands. 
Good thing it was almost bath time because the front of Julia's shirt and shorts were soaked by the time the car was clean. 
On Saturday we took Julia to Sprayground for the first time this year. Since my belly is so big Daddy got in the water with Julia this time. She had fun but didn't stay in the water for long. 
Daddy showed Julia how to stand on top of the water to stop it.

Here's a few pictures I took of Julia yesterday playing with a sink full of bubbles. I meant to do this when we did the letter b but never got around to it that week. Her shirt got a bit wet but she had fun! I love the expression on her face in some of the pictures. She's such a cutie and we're having so much fun with her! 
This week we did D is for Dinosaur and we had fun. We decided to paint the letters again since we haven't painted since letter A. For letter B we used butterfly and bee stickers and for C we used cotton balls. Once we're finished Julia will have two alphabet books that she made on her own, one for capital letters and one for lowercase letters. 
Julia decided she wanted to paint both big D and little d and mommy just watched. 
This week we did big D with stickers and little d with the Do-A-Dot markers. She loves doing this activity each week.
We also sorted big D and little d letters. Julia did great with this activity as well. At the end of week she said D says 'dddd', C says 'cccc', B says 'bbbb', and A says 'aaaa.' She went through and did the sounds that the letters make which was really neat. Sometimes she'll say the c sound for the letter d but I'm so proud of how she's doing with her letters and sounds. 
On Monday we had a playdate at a friend's house and Julia had a blast playing in the two pools. Her water shoes worked out perfect and I'm so glad we had them. It was a perfect day for a water playdate since the temperature was about 90 degrees. At first Julia and Bradon were testing out the water but it didn't take long for them to get wet.

They had so much fun throwing all the balls into the pool. They picked up every ball and put them in the pool. I just love her big smile here and of course she's styling with her pink shades.
I LOVE the look on her face. She had so much fun and was a bit sad when it was time to leave.
Julia enjoyed riding on the little fish too.
The little water fountain on this pool reminds me a bit of Sprayground. We'll definitely have to go there again this summer. Thanks to my friend Leigh for having us over, Julia really had so much fun! 
On Saturday afternoon we set up the sprinkler in the yard since it was 90 degrees. We thought Julia would enjoy running through the sprinkler but she didn't like the feel of the rough grass on her feet. So on Sunday we went out and got her a pair of water shoes. We've been meaning to get her a pair of shoes for the pool anyways so now she's all sorted for summer fun. As soon as she got out of bed this morning she wanted to put on her new shoes which she calls flip flops and no hurt toes. I tried a pair on her a little while ago but she said 'hurt toes.' It was so cute as she definitely let me know that she didn't like them. Hey they even match her PJs.

I've been wanting to go strawberry picking for a while and we finally got to go on Saturday. We went to a place which was much closer to home but I don't think it was as good as the place we went last year.
Julia was a much bigger help this year compared to last year. She enjoyed holding her basket of strawberries and she didn't smash them in her hands. This place only just opened so they didn't have much for picking so they only allowed kids to pick. Hopefully next year it will be better.
Julia enjoyed showing off her strawberries.
We took a little break after picking strawberries to enjoy some ice cream and Julia admired the strawberries that she helped pick. We also bought some which were good but not as good as the ones we had last year.
Julia tasted one in the car before we left the strawberry farm. She thought it was delicious!
