What's cuter than a 5 year old in flippers?

Nothing! Particularly if Abi is the 5 year old.

Last weekend at the pool, having been abandoned by her sister (who had found a classmate to play with), Abi spotted a gaggle of bikini clad teenage girls sitting at the side of the pool - and decided to join them. She put on sissers swim team fins, and her goggles, and started her long journey from the chair - to the side of the pool - 5 feet away. This was a spectacle you could have seen coming a mile away, so the girls were looking and giggling at her; which made her grin even bigger. They skooched over for her and made room for my intrepid little mermaid.

Where was my camera?

Oh, they made room for her? Don't you love how wonderful teenage girls can be when they're being nice? Abi probably LOVED being with the big girls!

Perhaps I can catch the flippers later this summer!

Oooo...I saw something cuter today. Your friend was going to pick up your daughter, and as she walks out of the preschool, she shouts DADDDY with all the joy and enthusiasm that symbolizes all that is wonderful about a 5 year old...sure enough there was your husband walking across the school yard, still so far away it took TZ and I a moment to say "well, by golly that is K-Dob (not be confused with K-Fed). Priceless I tell you...your girls are indeed priceless.!

I'm still just smiling thinking of Pony Girl in flippers!
