Fair Fun

So over the last year and a half Summer has implanted many memories in my brain that I will treasure forever. This being said, to date the PIG RACE memory is absolutely one of my favorites. I decided to brave the North Florida Fair with Summer and my friend Nichole. I have many memories from my childhood at the Fair. My dad took us faithfully every year. He would win us huge stuffed animals, ride the rides and eat the "fair food" with us. I am not sure if it was just the time spent with him or the actual fair that I loved, but I wanted to start the random tradition with Summer. With the amusement of people watching, fried food and pig racing what toddler wouldn't love the fair!

So we sat in the bleachers while we tasted all that the fair had to offer. Corn dogs, french fries, funnel cake and homemade lemonade. Summer loved it all. (Most likely as she is rarely ever allowed to eat anything that isn't organic and wholesome in nature). She was dancing and having a blast. THEN the bleachers filled with people of all walks of life and the pigs were released. They were playing music and everyone started to clap. Summer squealed in delight and began dancing even harder. Then it occurred to me...SHE THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE WAS CLAPPING FOR HER! She thought that everyone was cheering her on and she was dancing, clapping and getting down. It was hilarious.

OH, what it must feel like to be that loved as to think that when people clap you automatically think its for you. I hope that she never ever loses that feeling of security and love. I know I will do my best to make sure that she is well adjusted and knows how much she is treasured each and every day.
