It keeps getting better.

We continue to love life over here at Chez Williams! Things are so good. Kasper has been in a wonderful mood for weeks, the weather is beautiful and we are getting outside so often. Last year at this time we were gearing up to get our house on the market. We were having floor drains replaced, packing all of our stuff to move to storage, etc. I'm glad that's all over and we can enjoy. Actually, it was maybe a good year to be busy because Kasper is so fun and interactive this year I'd be sad to not take it all in.

ANYWAY...

Nothing interesting to report this week. Kasper added a couple new words to his vocab: car, ball. He hears "Sit on your bottom" every night in the bath but now you can say it anywhere and he'll sit down to wait for his snack. Finally he understands a useful request! He also learned the the fist pump.


We have been taking wagon rides every night after dinner. It's been so nice and Kasper really loves the ride. It's also been fun for Rob and I to walk around the neighborhood and look at all the houses. As we were getting ready for our walk Friday night, Kasper tripped on a rug and landed on the only toy in the area. Right on his eye. His first shiner!


This was about 30 minutes after the fall. Luckily this is the worst it looked.

I worked on capturing sun flares this weekend. Getting there but I think they can be much better.
















Yesterday morning Rob went for a long bike ride and Kasper and I had a playdate with my friend Erin and her kiddos. Kasper becomes such a shy guy around new kids which cracked me up because he goes to daycare everyday! He was just quiet and calm and played with all the new toys by himself. Very unlike his normal self. Erin's kids were so cute, they actually enjoy being read to and crawling up on my lap. Nothing my own child would ever dream of.



We had a bunch of errands to run yesterday afternoon so rewarded ourselves with grilled brats and eating on the deck for the first time this year. Kasper is still pretty much in love with the deck. There is nothing to play with but he will spend hours walking back and forth. We had to sweep the deck before dinner.




Tied with his love of the deck is his love of brooms and sweeping. SERIOUSLY loves it. We looked at Target and apparently it's not a common interest of kids these days because they don't sell a play broom.




Sunflares!

This morning we got up and met some friends for breakfast at Tilia. Love that place. After a drive around some cute neighborhoods in Minnetonka to kill some time while K napped we stopped at Target then headed home. Kasper got in some broom time.


After his nap this afternoon we took the Burley we bought last year on it's real maiden journey. This trip doesn't count. This year his helmet fit! The hat is only for warmth. It was a little chilly tonight.

We went for about 10 miles and it went ok. Kasper couldn't see anything because the helmet just gets pushed over his face by the seat back. Then at the turnaround point, Kasper had a little snack so I took his helmet off. When I put it back on I apparently got a large amount of neck stuck in the clasp. Ugh. I feel so bad. On the way back, we ended up taking his helmet off so he could look around and he had a great time!

We get to send him to daycare tomorrow with a black eye and blood blister on his neck. Parents of the Year.

I really hope everyone in MN is enjoying this awesome early summer we've had. It's a real treat and I hope we take advantage of it as much as we can.
