Sweaty Ess
Hot, humid summer weather + dreams = Ess waking up drenched in sweat.

Mykala dictated letters, and Ess wrote this! We were very pleased.
“The duckies like us because we just gave them food up close.”
Dressed up for cousin Jane’s wedding.
Mykala and I aren’t exactly… at our best in this photo. But it is the one where Ess is looking at the camera!
Watching the fireworks.
The snake Ess really wanted to hold is off-camera.
So we thought we’d have to cover these in stickers to get Ess to wear them, but she loved them immediately: they’re for loud situations like wedding receptions or Fourth of July fireworks.
This is Essie’s version of Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc.
Ok I could not get over this. By using some string and pipecleaners to make a broom and cat (!), and re-arranging Pink Lady’s hair, Mykala made such a great Kiki for Ess.
“Hold it like a plate.”
Before seeing Moana outside at the park. We got to do this a few times: bike over and enjoy the festivities before the movie began, and then bike home in the dark for bedtime. One time, Ess and I rode through a bunch of fireflies on a ride back; if that’s not magical, I don’t know what is.
Best part of this video: “I’m not eating your tongue, that’s just how we shake hands!”
It is sort of interesting: the tags on this site don’t change, but our names for stuffed animals do. “Marge the Monkey” has changed to “Monkey Mao” to just Mao. The dragon in this video “Dante Fiero” changed to Dante but mostly just “Beela” because he would chase Ess and say “blah! blahblah!”
