Yesterday, shortly after I got home from work and Joanna ate, we went out to the store. It rained while we were inside so we took our time and looked around. Joanna was in the baby carrier on my chest facing outward and she got all sorts of attention. She was smiling at strangers and kicking her feet. Many people stopped to say "Hi" or just smiled at her as we passed.
Jason made it home before we returned so he started dinner and suggested that I take the car through the wash since it was pretty dirty. I took the car through the car wash at BP when Joanna was with me. I turned around so I could see her expression as the green scrubbers went by. She just watched the window with amazement.
I remembered that as a child I loved riding in the car when it was raining because I liked to contemplate the windshield wipers and watch the interesting way water would travel across the window.
