We did a bunch of playdates with friends this month. First up was a quick run to Thomas A Sullivan park with Ryder and Nicole. After some very wet days, we needed to blow some energy and it was great even though we got soaked and muddy. 🙂
Next up was a trip down to the zoo. We try to go at least once a month. There was a baby giraffe born at the end of June, and the boys like trying to find her when we go by. Darrell’s favorite animal is the otters, so we always try to get a picture for him. Our usual schedule for the zoo is arrive, go to the zoomasium to play for a few hours, go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then wander around the zoo and get some more energy out outside. We usually try to leave by 3 so we can be at the forefront of the traffic.
And of course, we had our usual fun around the house. Edward has been obsessed with Magic the card game and has been playing it nonstop with Daddy. He is doing so well at playing the game and we are seeing him improve a ton with his math. Morgan is just being a toddler and exploring all of his surroundings. He is getting really good at climbing things and has the best balance. He is running and is expressing his thoughts and wants. Not quite talking just yet, but he does let us know what he wants. He loves to go to bed and will take a book with him. Doesn’t let us actually read it to him, but he will flip through the pages.
