Happy 5th Luniversary, Have Some Solid Food!
Happy 5 months, Joss! Safta tries to tell you a joke. . .
. . .but you are not amused. . .
We had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, where for overpriced entrees and hugely overpriced drinks, the whole family can dine while animatronic animals periodically "come to life" and roar, bleat, trumpet, and growl. Paul was mesmerized by, if somewhat leery of these displays of robotic animality.
After our meal, we wandered through the gift shop, playing with the puppets and assorted other crap we had no intention of buying. Safta picked Paul up to look at the "alligator statue" which was in a stone-wall encircled "lagoon." Then the alligator came to life, snapping and lunging. Paul leaped right off the stone wall into Safta's arms, and would not let go until he was quite out of range. . . Good times.
Once we got home, and got Paul in bed, we celebrated Joss' luniversary with a nice big bowl of baby oatmeal!
Verdict was decidedly "meh," but with potential.

Post Parade Party
After the Parade, we went to a little get-together at Amy and Bill's house.
Paul was disappointed that the "party" did not have a bounce-house or ball-pit, but managed his anguish with stoicism and a lemonade with seltzer.
Joss had a wonderful time playing with Amy!

Happy 4th of July!
Safta came up to go to the parade with us for the 4th of July!
Camped out in a wee patch of shade - hoping the parade is over before the shade is gone!
Paul holds his juice boxes by the "wings." (That keeps him from squeezing the sides and squirting half the box out of the straw. Juice box logistics are very important in our house.)
Safta has to support Joss' back - he only wants to sit up and look at everything!
People in revolutionary War costumes would periodically shoot off muskets, much to Paul's dismay. Joss didn't seem to notice them.
Euphonium in one arm, boy in the other, Daddy's got this parade thing down.
There was a really cool Chinese Dragon in the parade. Paul was, again, somewhat dismayed. Note him just about to scramble off Shawn's shoulders and run away. . .
Happy Birthday, America!

Joss' glamor shots
Heaven is a Ball Pit
Paul's daycare had it's Summer Party on Saturday (06/26/10). Spread out across the parking lot was a ball pit (Paul was in utter ecstasy), a petting zoo with pigs and chickens and a duck and a snake and an alligator(!?!?), hot dogs and cotton candy, a giant inflatable obstacle course culminating in a 10' slide, and all the juice boxes a toddler could drink. Paul had a blast, as did his other classmates and their parents.
Monday morning, Daddy and Paul drove into the parking lot at daycare like usual - and there was no more party!!! Poor Paul was devastated.
Enjoying our (short-lived) pool.
Mommy bought an inflatable giraffe pool, and Daddy spent most of the evening trying to inflate it with a bicycle tire pump.
The next day, Joss surprised us by enjoying a dip!
June 24, 2010
On Friday, 06/25/10, Paul got to enjoy the pool too. Despite frequent "top-offs" with the bike pump, the giraffe insisted on "sleeping."
Wake up, giraffe!
Paul insisted on having his pictue took.
Playing with his sand and water table - only he refused to let us put sand in it, so it's a water and water table.

Joss and the Bumbo (from June 22, 2010)
Joss needs to work on his core muscles if he's ever going to be able to sit and play on a computer all day! So, he's begun to spend some time sitting in the Bumbo - which used to be Paul's chair.
Joss, how do you like sitting up?
Glad you like it. Are you hungry?
Must. Eat. Bear!!!!
