We are into our second day of big boy underpants, with four successes (sometimes poops/pees/both), two failures (one b/c it was far more fun to play with daddy), and one false alarm so far.

Mom: "can I have the yellow train?"

Jonathan: "can you ask nicely, mommy?"

Mom: "may I please have the yellow train?"

Jonathan: "of course you may, mommy! nice asking."

We also made popcicles this morning and he's enjoying the fruits (haha, it's all pureed fruit) of his labor as dessert.

Daddy: "You are eating 'bowtie' noodles."

Mommy: "Sometimes daddies wear bowties to work."

J2: "I wear bowties on Friday, Saturday, and Monday. I have [list as many colors as he could think of] bowties."

This entry isn't so much a log, but a repository.

I took the kids to the Staten Island Children's Museum at some point in June/July, but I've forgotten which day it was. It took forever to find it, but was worth the trip. But, I some great photos that should be seen...

along with some of us just goofing around (again, date forgotten!)...

Shannon/Shawn and Elise/I went to Costco in preparation for our Father's Day BBQ. Dave and Jonathan went to the fire station for an open house. Then, we all went to the Cassidy's for a BBQ. Shannon/Shawn and Elise/I left a little early to get them packed and back to LGA.

Grandpoppy came to visit us! I couldn't believe how comfortable Jonathan was with him; he just chatted away like they were old buds. Jonathan also used his blocks as snacks for everyone, and he 'cooked' them in the den while we 'ate' in the living room.

We went to our Whole Foods art class and made hand/foot prints for Father's Day!
