Fun in the Sun

Our friend, Mrs. Lore, knows the best places for kids... and she doesn't even have any yet. She tells us about tons of fun things for families. Last week she took us to Discovery Green for a fun bubble day. There was a really cool fountain and park that James loved! The bubbles were a little overwhelming at first, but James eventually warmed up and jumped right in. I envy the freedom he feels as he finds joy in bubbles and fountains!

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.
