New Things

We went to a new park last night... there were a lot of neat things scattered about for the kids to climb on. These were immediately named by the kids: the cheese, the noodles, the Barney bench,... We had a little peanut butter crackers and cheese sticks picnic, and then they played for a while.

New excitement for T is a snack of Cheerios. He usually requires some help getting them in his mouth, but he does make a good effort at it! It keeps him pretty entertained (and he's getting some practice at that ol' hand-eye coordination!). When he does get one in, he's very happy. This is his "wowzers!" picture:

With this new-found independence, he also decided to take charge this morning at breakfast. While my back was turned, he pulled the cereal bowl closer, took out the spoon, and stuck it in his mouth... all the while splattering cereal everywhere, of course!
