Another Day at the Park

Likes and Dislikes

It's been a while since I've updated on Chatham's favorite things....and some that aren't so much...

He LOVES pretzels, milk, Popsicles, slides, jumping off his step stool, flushing the potty, shutting things (fridge, drawers, doors), being read too, and being outside.

Chatham will ask several times a day for us to sing "Da Bus Around" and knows most of the phrases---- up and down, open and shut, beep-beep-beep. He also can sing his ABC's but normally starts at F- skips Q- and ends on Y. He can spell his name "C-H-A-C-H-A-C-M"

He HATES swings, tomatoes, mushrooms, timeout, using his potty, and being by himself.

We are in another eating rut. Breakfast is fine and he will eat his weight in cereal any time of day.....Lunch is only eaten if it's fruits....and dinner is hit or miss- tonight he ate 7 bites of carrots and refused to eat ANYTHING else.

Welcoming a new friend!!

Betsy and Andy are new parents!!! They adopted a BEAUTIFUL little girl, Cora, from China in January. We finally were able to schedule playgroup so we could meet our newest friend.

Chatham got a good view of the park from Daddy's head and went down every slide he could find.

Harrison joined him on a few as did Cara.

Cora, however, preferred going down with her Mommy and Daddy.

After a stroll around the pond, we headed over to the picnic area for lunch. PB&J's, trail mix, pasta salad, and girl scout cookies- YUM!

Chatham was breakin' it down and Phin was showing us his ball skills

The boys looked like they were up to no good, so we headed down to feed the ducks.

Cora LOVED the ducks, Harrison was waiting for them to attack, and Chatham just kept quacking!

Finally, we got in a bit more sliding, and Suzy and I even participated.

And let's not forget the lessons one can learn at the park......
You know those websites of what people wear to Walmart??? Well, here is my What people wear at Lakewood Park......

Good to know they have security...

Wonder if she frisked this cowgirl for weapons??

Here comes the sun......

Just as I had hoped the sun has stayed out all week!! We have enjoyed wearing our sunglasses and even a short sleeved shirt here and there!

Ewt-Side

Chatham loves to play Ewt-side! And it's been SO cold lately we just haven't been able to. But not this weekend!

We pushed around the stroller....

We played some basketball and went down the slide....

Oh the joy of the outdoors! Hopefully this weather will keep up and we can play outside some more!
