Understandably, since Billy was born we’ve seen a few cracks appear in Jemima’s behavior and we were beginning to feel that we were spending all our time with her telling her off.
The reality is far different from that, but when sleep is in short supply, patience is thin and a newborn in crying, trying to keep calm with a nearly four year old can be challenging. But the truth is that Jemima obviously gets far less of our attention than she’s used to. Therefore, Saturday afternoon was a girls day out when we left the ‘stinky boys’ at home (her words not mine). Our plan for the day was a trip to the Salmon Hatchery in Issaquah to see the salmon swimming up stream and then out for ice cream. I even managed to sell her the idea of a trip to Trader Joe’s by telling her I needed her help to buy bananas! Perhaps even more miraculous was that when asked what her favorite part of the day was, it wasn’t the ice cream but feeding the trout. We had a great time and here are some photos.
