Big News

Forrest's big announcement (for those that can't read it, since I didn't get a picture of the back) is that he's going to be a big brother. Entering the next level of craziness for all of us.

Train Show

It's train show season and the boys have been going to see model trains every weekend! So nice that they have a common interest.

Lounging

Just chilling on my throne while I get chauffeured around town.

Raking and Scrubbing

Putting him to work, as usual!

Skunked

This year's Halloween costume, inspired by real life (unfortunate) events.

Jammin'

Bringing the music everywhere he goes!

Waiting for Daddy

One of the rare moments when these two aren't in each other's way.

Trolley Time

Forrest's first visit to the trolley museum was with Aunt Mabel. He doesn't look too thrilled here but he talked about trolleys for weeks afterwards!

Turtle Rodeo

Slow and steady. Very much both of those given that it's a cement turtle.

Future Programmer

No time like the present to learn to touch type!

Me and the Guys

Picture time with his buddies, hanging out on a bench. 

Apple Picking

The apples were the least interesting thing on the farm. How can fruit compete with tractors and goats?

Cat Sitting

Forrest had his first cat sitting job and I think he liked it!

New Cyclist

Forrest got his first bike! A balance bike of course. He took it for a slow ride to the park and back for its maiden voyage. He also did some work on it, you know, whatever you do with a wrench. I hope by the time he's biking to school by himself all the streets of Cambridge will have dedicated bike lanes!

Strandbeest

Forrest and I went to see two small strandbeests! These are wind powered creatures that walk along beaches on their own and they happened to make a visit to MIT. Forrest was excited when one walked up to look at us!

New Daycare

Forrest started a new daycare/preschool this week. Here he is on his first day at pickup time - he didn't look anything like this at drop off. He has two lovely teachers and they do all kinds of activities!

Up a Creek...

Forrest became obsessed with boating on this trip to New Hampshire, specifically with a certain kayak paddle. Which meant anytime he was in the boat, we couldn't really go anywhere (until we found another paddle). Lotus was not so enthusiastic about the boating but she preferred that to being left behind on shore.

Hiking Trip

Nothing like hiking with your buddy. Especially when your personal chauffeur does all the work!

Spear Fishing

A rare moment of wading, in freezing river water no less! This was a quick visit to VT from our spot in NH.

Help at Home

Sweeping and wiping the floor. He's learning so much from his dad!
