Mother daughter time

yesterday izzy kept telling me, "it's hot....it's really hot." So I decided to have a little mother daughter afternoon. we were gonna make lots of memories. I dug out a swimming suit that actually fit her, we went and bought her a tube and were gonna spend a few hours floating down the little river in town. We got all lubed up with sunscreen and after at least an hour of build up asking if she wanted to go swim, she was really excited and ready to go, "right now." We get there, I hide the keys, etc, walk over to the river and it all went down hill. "I no Bella water" was all she cried for the next hour. After all that effort, I was determined to do the little kiddie float because I'd gotten myself excited about it, and dug out my own swimming suit that only sees daylight about once a year. Anyway, after three short trips down the little river and about a hundred, "I no bella water." I gave in. I told her we could float down the river or go home and go "night-night." Guess what she chose...when they start crying, "I night-night" over and over, you just pack up and go home...and that is exactly what we did. maybe next time she'll like it. she did look cute though, tears and all.
