Austen

Mama was responsible for Father’s Day plans and did next to nothing (Does My Gym count?) because she felt sick. Luckily Dada got to spend lots of quality play time with Austen; they’re so cute together.

At bedtime Mama, who was still feeling lousy, decided that she was going to be the baby and Austen the mommy. It was fun to whine and complain and throw fits while Austen reassured “It’s alright,” “What’s bothering you?” and “More water?”

L.L.F.R.

Austen loves her soccer class, especially because Spencer (the coach) is overly animated and enthusiastic.

Austen does her Beastie Boys impression.

On Saturday, Mama found a nearby carnival in Middlesex where Austen enjoyed going on most of the rides, including some that she was a little reluctant to ride on just a few months ago. Live music helped set the playful mood, fresh made mini pizzas kept energy up, and Austen enjoyed the company of other kids until it was time to leave and go home to bed.

Then, on Sunday, we popped in to the last 30 minutes of a local Metuchen street fair held on Main Street where Austen took full advantage of the remaining time by going on a huge jumpy castle, petting all the animals in a petting zoo and riding a pony!
