Smattering

My goofy boy wanted to wear the legs from his Tigger costume.  By the way, this is one of the last pics that you’ll see of Logan in a diaper.  Potty training has been going phenomenally well!

Here Logan shows off his new underwear.  They have Thomas the Train on them!  (So does his shirt--guess what we’re into right now.)

Okay, so this isn’t a spectacular picture of Naomi, but check out the seriously cute socks I found for her.  The Mary Jane shoe pattern is on the socks!  And they were only 179 yen at the Bunny Store!  (I’ll bet your day is more complete now that you know that.)

What do you think?  Does she look like me?

At the park with Daniel.

  Look at the expression on my face.  Yes, this roller slide really is that fast. 
Confession: I meant to take a video for you as we went down the slide but apparently I pressed the record button twice at the top of the slide, meaning it didn’t actually record.  Then when I got to the bottom and thought I was turning the video off, I was, in fact, turning it on again.  And that’s how I ended up with a seven minute video of Naomi’s blanket instead of the roller slide video.  Oops!

Such a funny kid.  Oh, and he also refers to himself as a “funny kid”.

Gorgeous weather for a hike.

Naomi enjoying the ride.

Look again.  I turned the picture upside down.  That’s how clear the reflection was.

Same picture, right-side-up, for those of you with desktop computers trying to mentally turn it around.

All this hiking leads us to . . .

another playground!  This is a cement slide; basically a smooth-paved hill. 

     Back at the car for a diaper change, Naomi was being super-adorable.

A trip to the zoo brought us up close to the bats during feeding time.

Logan had SO MUCH FUN at the zoo.  We’ve been probably a dozen times before but he’s gotten so many more words since we last went and he was SO excited, running around announcing the animals and what sounds they made, etc.  It was great to see and he’s still talking about it nearly a week later.

Maybe it was Logan’s excitement but several of the animals seemed unusually interested in us as well.

Of course, this was also one of Logan’s favorite things at the zoo.  Luckily for me, he doesn’t care that we never put any money into these things; he’s happy just to sit in them and spin the wheel (or pull the lever or press the buttons or whatever).

Naomi was rather less interested in the animals and slept contentedly almost the whole way through.

And that’s about how life is going—I can’t complain.  Hope yours is going well too!  USMC Ball tomorrow night so I’ll be posting pics of that in a couple days.  Check back soon!
