Ruby's getting a lot of exercise these days. She's discovered the swings at one of the many Prospect Park playgrounds, she has started swimming lessons at Camp Olympia (look how excited she was even before she got in the pool), and she has her very own helmet to go along with her brand-new bike seat. I expect her to help with the pedaling as soon as her swinging and swimming burns off the baby fat and builds up some muscles.

All this knocked her out cold yesterday. We got back from swimming about an hour and a half past her normal nap time and she was so happily tired that she not only fell asleep within seconds but stayed asleep about two hours past her normal 40mins catnap!
