If he can do it....
I saw a guy at the Upton Hill park this evening. He was ridign a tandem bike with one of his kids. Attached to that was a 3rd wheel kind of trailer/bike with a kid. Attached to that was a buggy with kid number 3. Now that is inspiration. I couldnt' get my camera out in time. And, we're still wondering... how did he get up the big hill to GET to Upton HILL park???

We made it to the City!
today we went to the city-- the 3 of us. We made it there and back!
Owen had an art program at the Hirshhorn museum. We got there early enough that we walked through the gardens behind the Smithsonian Castle before heading to the museum. At the art program, we looked at 2 big paintings, listened to a story and then made sculptures of people doing things. L slept the whole time.
After the art program, Owen rode the carousel on the mall for the 1st time by himself. Then he informed me that he did not want to go home, but wanted to "go over there to that one." So, we went to the natural history museum. O played in the Discovery Room for quite some time. We had lunch on the mall and headed home, stopping by the farmers market at the USDA (we bought peaches and gingergold apples) and then our park on the way home (we had to stop and play with Colin and Brendan and Bobby).
We left at 9:15 am and were home at 2 for naps. Despite the long list of thing we did, including a small picnic lunch/snack) we had time for lots of fun at each stop and didn't feel like we just ran from one thing to the next. Success!!!!
(BTW: baby bjorn and fancy umbrella stroller was the method.)

grammatically & syntactically correct sentences I thought I'd never say.
"Please don't putt food on your nipples."
(as owen placed salmon on his nipples at dinner.)
Dan convinced me this needs a post: 2 days ago, I told Owen "Please don't puyt food on your nipples."
Somewhere in the 6-9 months range ago, I also said,
"Owen, please don't touch your hiney hole."

Random Mommy Tip: Changing Diapers
Don't have a changing pad? Don't want to put your kid on the public changing table? Use the paper toilet seat covers. They are a bit crinkly, but 2 work well to cover the changing area.
