Watch us grow!
I love that this guy gets lots of time outside just being a kid. Check out the bubbles he’s blowing!
He’s also getting lots of exercise on those riding toys. They have a little track that goes along the perimeter of the play yard and the kids all follow each other.
While Mama went to an appointment in the morning, Peanut went to school and did quite a lot before lunch/nap time.
He did some gluing with the class.
And there was outside time.
After lunch, he went down for his usual nap and had to be woken by Mama a little early in order to get to Big Sister’s graduation in the city. Initially, he didn’t want to wake up but when he was asked “you wanna go see KK?” he sat up and said “yah”.
No trip to Monterey would be complete without a visit to the aquarium.
We got there early enough to avoid the crowds and the kids had fun exploring.
We had such nice weather today! Mama even spotted whales out in the distance.
We beat the lunch crowd and had a meal at Cannery Row Brewing Company up the street. Peanut napped and Janie drew the sardines that she saw.
We also headed back to the aquarium after lunch to see more of our favorite exhibits.
This one was a big hit with both kids. It’s funny that Janie was terrified of this just two years ago.
It was really hot today so we went to the pool before lunch. Peanut started out in his floatie ring.
Then we put on his floatie vest and started walking into the water on his own.
Eventually it became more like a fall in or semi-jump in.
Regardless, I think he’s overcome any fear of the water and had a great time.
He seems happiest when he’s riding a tricycle or scooter at school.
Look at this little boy’s grasp! Mama is so proud of how he’s holding his marker.
He also got ice cream this afternoon as a special Father’s Day event. Too bad Dada couldn’t make it back early enough.
Mama picked up Peanut at school after her run so he had to walk home. It took about 25 minutes to get home but he was able to walk the whole way. He also insisted on wearing his backpack and carrying his lunch bag on his own.
Peanut has a pretty good time at school. He also gets plenty messy!
One of his favorite things to do is playing on the riding toys.
He’s also learning how to wash his hands like a big kid.
This afternoon while Thomas and Toni napped, Janie practiced pumping the swing while Peanut practiced holding on without tipping forward or backwards.
