Wednesday nights we try to go to the University Town Center fountain for live music, paddling in the fountain, and dinner (sometimes brought, sometimes bought). Last week the girls hit a random child (C3 did it first ... Q2 copied her right down to the wrist flick) so we packed up and left.

So tonight, we tried again. No hitting. We did lose 2 balloons (on inside, one out), ate soy yogurt for the first time ever (enjoyed), and got wet wet wet.
But the best thing must have been C3. Before we left the house this afternoon, we were playing in our backyard, and C3 & Q2 had collected leaves from some plant that I used to know the name of but no longer do, and money plant or silver dollar dried seedpods.

At the fountain C3 went around to most of the people there ... hm, about 80 or 100 people? ... and gave them each a leaf or a silver dollar. Everybody thanked her (and some just tossed the gift as she moved on). And one mom told me it was the sweetest thing she'd ever seen.
This is typical C3. Going into an airplane in March she greeted everybody we passed (all those grumpies in first class!). Distributing paper cuttings. When she was a new walker she'd touch and tap everybody she walked by. And now foliage. She can be very generous. Provided it does not involve sharing dogs. Or dog paraphernalia.
