On Friday, Andrew hit the stage again. This time to celebrate grandparents. He did better than the Thanksgiving program, where he froze up and attempted to melt into the floor. This time he actually sang the words to the song, but he did forgo hand motions.
Luckily, this weekend provided plentiful sunshine and tolerable temps for outside activities. It would have been nice to get a few more degrees, but it is January after all. After spending most of last weekend inside, Andrew was ready to get outdoors. He originally said he wanted to go to the Zoo and the Botanic Gardens, but I told him he could only do one that day. He thought for a minute, and then said he wanted a hot dog, so we better go to the Zoo. So Andrew got his hot dog at the Cat House Cafe, and then we set off to explore the Zoo.
Once Andrew and I got home, we found out Agnes had been on Pinterest again. Although Pinteresting ideas can sometimes lead to odd crafts projects, we were pleased to discover that this one involved making ice cream in plastic baggies. So we ate ice cream and went out to eat at Las Delicias. In that order...cause Andrew got to pick.
Since we had the good fortune of having two sunny days this weekend, we went to the non hot dog having Botanic Gardens on Sunday. Even in the middle of winter, we always enjoy ourselves at the Gardens.
Noah is also getting more mobile. He starting to crawl, if you want to call it that. It's more of a weird crab walk thing. Also he is still getting around with his walker and pulling up on anything that doesn't fall over on him.
One of the greatest things about having Noah around, is he teaches you about pace. You really learn to take your time and live in the moment. Whenever you start to get ahead of yourself, and start focusing too much on the future or where you think you should be going, Noah pulls you back to the present. He lingers there, happy, content.
