Andrew had fun playing with his Minnesota cousins who came to stay with us over the Fourth of July weekend.
Andrew ran in his 2nd Neighborhood Fourth of July kids fun run. He was so excited to start he was at the front of the pack but after a few moments he got confused, started playing the sand, and picking dandelions. He ended up coming in last but he had fun!
Andrew is terrified of the carousel at the zoo but in love with the train!
Andrew is obsessed with all things train related. He plays with his toy trains everyday even taking them with to the park, in the van, and to bed. He loves to ride the train at the zoo. The only thing he ever wants to watch is Thomas the Train.
Keeping Andrew in bed at naps and night time has been a challenge, he used to lay down and go to sleep, now he gets up continuously, opening his door and coming down the hallway. He is still figuring out how to sleep in his big boy bed.
Andrew had a blast helping pick strawberries at the Berry Farmer. Very few of the berries he picked made it to the box, though. We were joking that they should have weighed Andrew and charged us for him because he ate so many strawberries. He was a sight of red!
Andrew started swimming lessons and he really enjoys them. He is still scared to blow bubbles but he loves getting wet and splashing around. He clings tight to Daddy the whole time.
Andrew has outsmarted most of the baby proofing tools in the house, he can now open the baby gate, unplug the outlet covers, and open doors with the handle covers on them.
Andrew got a haircut this month that makes him look like such a big kid!
Andrew has staked his claim over his parents. We are no longer just "Mommy" and "Daddy," we are "My Mommy" and "My Daddy."
