Driving Lessons

You were all set to drive off into the sunset tonight, making sure the radio was tuned in properly and that the lights were on.  Enjoy the ride!

Spring Day

You enjoyed a full day outside today soaking up the early spring sun shine we have.  From tractor to playing soccer with your basketball to riding the turtle to blowing bubbles in the wagon you were all over the place.

Bubbles

The start of bubble season is upon us.  You had a wonderful time with your new bubble toy from the Nybeck's!  There were moments you were using it as your microphone and others when you were running after the bubbles.  It was a little windy this afternoon but that did not deter you from your bubbles.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mama and Dada went to see the Wild play so Auntie Jean and Uncle Jon came over to play with me.  We had a great time at the park going down the slides!  When Mama and Dada came home they brought me a St Paddy's day treat - a shamrock necklace!  I thought it was pretty cool!  I hope you wore green today and  got lots of kisses!

St. Patrick's Day 2011 - what a difference a year makes! 

Your fashion show of St. Patrick's day wear!

Setting Sun

We have seen record breaking highs recently and tonight you wanted to enjoy the last bit of daylight outside before bedtime.  It's quite the look you have going but you are starting to want to dress yourself these days so the upside down sunglasses come as part of the fashion sense you are building!

Watching the World Go By

After a wonderful weekend up north helping Great Grandma Martha celebrate her 94th birthday, Col needed a little downtime of his own tonight.  It was awfully quiet but I kept hearing what sounded like crayons being dropped in a bucket.  This is what was really going on, Col enjoying the rain that was falling outside of his window as he waited for dinner to be ready!

Puddles and Showers

Dada and I played outside tonight in puddles and a shower!

Zoo Adventure

Col met his friends Kevin and Bella at the MN Zoo this morning.  We saw the snow monkeys and penguins as we began our adventure.  Then we explored the Tropics Trail, the MN Trail (where Col and Mama promptly shied away from touching the beaver pelt that a volunteer had out) and finished in Discovery Bay where Col was enamored with the fish.  He was very busy putting his hands in the water at the tide pool exhibit so he didn't notice a tidal wave was coming to splash him!  When we were on the MN Trail Col wanted his picture taken after he climbed up on a bench!  We look forward to our next adventure at the zoo!

Moves like Dada

Dada was choreographing my dance moves tonight, what do you think?

Oh the places you'll go....

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

The face of an angel

Hard to believe this sweet boy was throwing temper tantrums last week.  The worst was when we were leaving daycare and he didn't want to put his coat on and made it known to the entire house (of course all the other moms are standing there laughing and I am mortified).  This week Caitie (4 year old) asked Col if he was going to have a temper and I told her I hope he doesn't decide to do that again!  We've had a few days temper tantrum free so we can hope it was a very quickly passing phase he decided to try out and realized it wasn't getting him anywhere!
