Week In Review

Wow, another week has gone by. Here are some highlights:

Monday - took the boys to Mandarin class and then to lunch at the tofu place we love. They did great, considering we had to wait a while for a table & ended up sharing one with two different groups.

Tuesday - Vincent went to preschool. I can't remember what else happened.

Wednesday - took the boys to Country Village Bothell to play on the pirate ship I had heard about. Vincent loved it and has asked to go back there everyday since. They also have a train (but it doesn't run on a track & it's really a tractor dressed up like a train) but it wasn't open. Lots of roosters & ducks walking around, too. Vincent stepped in some type of fowl poop. Both kids passed out in the car on the drive home. Transferring them to their beds at home didn't go too well. Bummer.

Vincent blowing bubbles by himself for the first time. Thursday - Vincent went to preschool in the morning. In the afternoon Tyler and I went to a class at the community college while Vincent & Audrey played at the park across the street.

Friday - took the boys to the Target, then to Red Robin for lunch. The plan was to go to KidsQuest children's museum after lunch, but Vincent upset me too much at lunch that I threw in the towel on our outing. Both fell asleep on the car ride home, again, and only Tyler transferred to his bed, but not as bad as Wednesday.

Saturday - David took Vincent to the barbershop & they both got haircuts. Here are some before & after photos.

Saturday night - Movie Night! No Tyler. We've had a couple of movie nights with Vincent. He and David pop the popcorn in the Whirly Pop while I put Tyler to bed. Then, we watch some kids flick & let Vincent stay up late.

Sunday - I got to sleep in. Thank you, David. After Tyler's morning nap, we rode the bus downtown then took the lightrail one stop to the Central Library. We returned some library books while Vincent played on the kids' computer & Tyler crawled around. Then, we rode the train back to Westlake Center & ate lunch at the food court. Gourmet. Took the bus back home, walked in the rain with the kids from the bus stop to our house, and now it's supposed to be naptime. Vincent just came out of his room, wide awake.

BIG NEWS! Today, Tyler took his first steps! Yup, just shy of 11 months old, he took a few steps towards me. He then took a few towards David. He also took a few steps at the library. He's obviously not officially a walker, but this is a huge milestone nonetheless. Last night, when he kept us up from 1am to almost 3 am, I said to David, "It must be developmental. He seems like he's getting ready to walk." Well, well, well...but he also woke with a runny nose.
