1. Lots of playground time, some dog park time, general happiness and soaking-in-the-sunshine:
I love to climb so high . . . and Daddy's a great spotter.
I made it to the top!
Blowin' kisses to Mommy on the ground
We've taken to sitting anywhere. Right in the middle of the action for a milk break? No problem. It's kind of strangely liberating to just sit right down wherever you please.
2. We went to a birthday party today and Maya got to wear a dress! Of course, this is not her first time ever wearing a dress, but it kind of was the first time that she really got to wear a dress. Before, she wore dresses to events that either a) would have her in our arms/in a highchair the whole time (like out to dinner at a restaurant) or b) would be in a safe enough place that we could tuck the dress into her diaper cover and let her crawl around like that. But now she's walking! And she can wear a dress to a party and walk around in it. Pretty amazing (and pretty adorable, too).
It doesn't get any sweeter than this, does it?
Loser: Parker did not have the best weekend.
A totally accidental dog park incident left him cut up. And now until the skin heals he remains banished from the dog park (since I don't want any dirt to get in the wound). Good news is that it's healing very quickly. Poor dude.
Ouch. Parker, by the way, is still obviously crazy about the ramp.
Twitter?
Since the whole Kristi Yamaguchi twitter thing, I've been wondering what the deal is with twitter. Then someone asked me last week if I'm on twitter. Truth be told, I'm not even sure if I should be capitalizing Twitter . . . I'm not twitterliterate (twitterate?). But it got me curious about who reads here and is into Twitter----please take a moment and cast a vote in the new poll (upper left corner). Thanks!
