fields of hippos

Sylvie and I had a great day playing outside in the beautiful weather. She got Daddy's golf itch and spent the morning practicing her swing....actually she spent about 2 minutes practicing her swing, another 2 minutes looking for sticks, another 2 minutes trying to "juggle like Daddy"....and so on. I wish I had her energy these days!! I really need to get some video of Sylvia singing. She is so funny with her songs now. She likes to practice for when baby sister gets here. She has big plans to sing lots of songs and read lots of books to her little sis. Today she was singing "I'm a Little Tea Pot, Here's my shorts!" Soooo funny!
She has become super opinionated lately, which can be really funny or really frustrating depending on where we are and what we are doing. The other day on the way to school she insisted she saw "a whole bunch of hippopotamus." I'd swear they were cows, but she saw hippos. "No mommy! no cows! HIPPOPOTAMUS!!" :)
