Yes, we think it’s not a very attractive outfit, but he picked it himself, and at least today he consented to wear the onesie inside the pants.

Mommy, there’s letters on that shed.  There’s a zero.  The zero is on the shed.

We decided the conditions were ripe for a “Jammie Ride” when Ian climbed into the stroller and started doing his own buckles once he was “all jammied up.”

Since Ian was having fun with his friends while I took this walk, I want to mention that items of note this week are the fact that he is now saying “lighthouse” instead of “house-light” and “excavating” instead of “axeing.”  (Bulldozers still “bull,” and backhoes now “backhoe.”)  Also, he has been trying to do his own buttons. 

I want to note here, that these geese looked all peaceful when they were swimming together on the other side of the pond, but the near one gave a totally different “vibe” when it was swimming at me at top speed, hissing and trying to make itself look bigger.  Yes, I’m still bitter because I was bitten as a child.

On the way back, we noticed the orange signs up to show they were working on the construction site down the way, so we took a little detour and enjoyed some time watching the “excavator, wanna axe, Mommy!” (And if you can’t tell, he’s also eating a pear.)

Today was a “wrong side of the crib” day, which is to say the little dude woke up from his nap in a bit of a snit. (No, really.) So once he settled down to happily playing in the sandbox, I decided that “if it ain’t broken, don’t step on it” definitely applied and let him play. I took off for my walk pretty much the minute my husband came in the door. Ian had pre-selected “Pie Rats” as the book Daddy was to read him when he got home, so they did their “arr”s and their “yo ho ho”s while I made my escape!

Current Weather conditions: 58 degrees and threatening to rain.
