As summer packs itself away...

 It's cooling off. 

The hottest days are well behind us and already we are wearing sweaters some mornings and pants. I'm looking forward to the change of season and all the new things it will bring. Fall with Emma as a two-year-old will be a wonderful thing! 

I can't get enough of our matching lunches each week day, hers in a half size. This is an egg salad sandwich with cucumber on the side and plain yogurt for dipping. We always have the same or similar plates (easier than two different dishes every meal) but Emma still wants to sample from my plate. I didn't get to eat my tomatoes for example. 

Ready for lift off! at our friends Helen and Millie's house(tomato from their garden in hand!) Emma and Millie are very compatible friends. Emma often talks about about how Millie *loves* blue, and how she's going to go visit her or join her on her trips. Play with all her friends is taking new forms as the girls grow and their relationships deepen, they are getting new ideas for play, joining in more and definitely being inspired by one another. Watching them is an inspiration to me!
