Embracing the Selfie

Colin has embraced the selfie craze, learning the art of digital photography and playing to his vanity. Here are some of his early works…

Padded Room Needed

Especially with a particularly long, cold winter, finding ways to expend toddler energy seemed a nearly endless endeavor. A temporary solution was to gather a few buddies and go wild in a soft playroom for an hour. Nap time was a success afterwards!

It’s A Jungle Out There!

A highlight of our trip to Florida was the Sarasota Jungle Gardens. It was more gardens than jungle, but still a lot of fun. The highlight by far was the flamingos, where we got up close and personal. Here’s what we encountered inside…

Venice Here in the USA

Movin’ On Up

Colin moved up from the infant to toddler room at daycare at the beginning of the year, and so far it’s been a great transition as he’s loved hanging with the “older” kids. He’s on a set schedule with the rest of the group, and participating in a whole bunch of activities – from painting…
