AK seemed kind of out of sorts when she woke me up yesterday morning so I convinced her to come into bed with me and she fell back asleep. We didn't get out of bed until 8am! She then had a lot of fluids to drink, but she had the tiniest appetite ever yesterday. Ben said she had a good lunch though (he said that neither she or Hunter could have the treats in their lunches until they BOTH finished their lunches - sneaky!) but she wasn't interested in any breakfast or snacks when I had her.

AK was still pretty tired even when we got up so we cuddled on the couch and played some games on the computer. We eventually got dressed - AK in a princess dress, complete with makeup and jewelry. We wrapped up AK's Father's Day present for her daddy - this is the secret craft project we were working on! She loved painting it and putting the stickers on. The color scheme isn't particularly "daddy-ish" but as AK says "I like purple and pink!".


Ben agreed keep AK so I could attend a birthday brunch yesterday. It was so nice - the restaurant had actually discontinued their Saturday morning brunch but they brought platefuls of the buffet items to our table to pass around family-style. There was lots of seafood and ceviche which I love. It was a really relaxing and fun few hours catching up with the girls. AK napped for most of the time she was with Ben so that was an easy babysitting job for him.

AK and I came home to prepare for the photo shoot. It was overcast but thankfully there was no rain. All the way to Camana Bay, AK kept saying "Photo shoot! Yay! Photo shoot!". Then we parked the car and got out and AK said "Mommy, what's a photo shoot?". Ha! We found the photographer and got started and AK then said "Mommy, where's the photo shoot?". I said to her "We're doing it right now"!

Similar to last year's 2yo photo shoot, AK wasn't very smile-y. When she did smile, she put on a huge cheeseball smile. Ah well... she's still beautiful even when she doesn't smile properly. The photographer said I should have the photos by Monday or Tuesday so I'm excited to see them. Fingers crossed there are some good ones! Even though it wasn't sunny, the photographer said the clouds made for a very even light for our photos.

It's been a good morning so far - I've made a quinoa salad with cucumber, smoked salmon and dill for a yoga potluck, and prepped a chicken and salad dressing for tonight's supper. Jess is away this weekend so I'll treat Ben and Hunter to a Father's Day dinner.

Happy Father's Day to all those fathers I know - especially my own. See you soon, Daddio! xo
