Mom, I need a phone!

James already wants a phone! The next best thing in his book is a calculator. All the same buttons and a screen. So freaky to see my little guy imitating me . Imagine what he'll be like when he can really talk. He may want a real phone next Christmas at only 2 years old.

Zoo Days

We took James to the zoo today. Our last visit was a disaster in the making. He was 13 months last time, and I learned the hard way that one year olds do not like to sit idly by as you stroll through the zoo. James is a man of action, a boy built to explore. Daddy and I came prepared. We are now the proud owners of a backpack leash for toddlers. We are officially "those people" that I promised I would never be. James had just the right amount of freedom while mom had the certain level of security needed in a busy public place. He wore himself out walking for the first hour, and then he was content to sit in the stroller drinking milk and munching on crackers. Oh, the joy of being a toddler. XOXO James! Onward, my little explorer.
