So I had to write this story down before I forgot about it.
Melia and I went swimming at the El Cerrito community pool right by our house on Sunday. It was a really nice, sunny day with a little bit of a breeze. As usual, Melia was being extra friendly with all the kids in the pool and as it usually happens she befriended a bigger girl - this one happened to be 5 years old. So she and Melia were playing together and she asked Melia how old she was. Melia said "two" and she tells us that she has a little sister that's 2 1/2. This little girl looks at me and asks where Melia's big sister is. I tell her that Melia doesn't have a big sister and is our only child. She proceeds to ask me why Melia doesn't have a big sister and I am not really sure how you answer a question like that and I just say well she happened to be our first child. Without missing a beat, this girl says to me very matter-of-factly "well then why didn't you get married earlier so she could have a big sister?" I just sat there looking at this girl's dad (who was sitting outside the pool but could hear the whole conversation) and just started laughing. I looked at her and was speechless. Later on her dad was walking by and tried to apologize for her giving me the third degree and I told him no, no - it was hilarious.
This was one of those precious moments you get to experience as these little people start to become big people. It was truly priceless.

Melia jumping on her new trampoline
Melia got a new trampoline from her Auntie Heather and Lisa and Uncle Lance for her birthday so that she can practice her crazy jumping skills. Can you tell she likes it?
Batting practice and bath time
