“I’m so strong”
“Yes you are!” Setting up for Meryl’s birthday party tomorrow. Frank and I both had a couple of moments today realizing that Meryl is growing up. Has it really been almost three years?
A queen and her castle
Meryl’s teacher at school sent us this picture of Meryl’s creation that she called her ‘castle.’ She was beaming with pride and told her teacher that we needed to see her castle.
Holmes is nine months old
Nine months! And tonight, he graduated to the big bathtub. He’s achieved proficiency in sitting, crawling, grabbing, eating, clapping…and tipping over Lummi’s water bowl. Big month!
“I’m sneaking”
Meryl’s putting her creative genius to work with nightly attempts of never going to sleep. Last night’s shenanigans topped the cake, and we still can’t stop laughing about catching her in the hall when she said, “I’m sneaking!”
Happy Birthday, Tito!
Steak and mushrooms, and chocolate cake! (And, a rollicking game of ‘Tito, chase me!’ afterwards to run through all that sugar.)
Sweet snuggles
After traveling to San Francisco this week for work, I was more than happy to snuggle in the bakery this morning:)
Field Trip Day!
Yesterday, I joined Meryl’s class for a field trip to Seattle Center. We took the bus, played around Seattle Center, and rode the Monorail. Meryl played with the Sonic Bloom flowers, climbed about 4’ of the Space Needle, and had so much fun. I even pointed out the building where her Mama and Dada got married.
Track pack
The birthday circuit continued last weekend. This time, at a park with trains passing by. Can we all just agree that, at any age, hanging out with our friends doesn’t take much to mean a lot?
