Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands!

This past Monday, our "little man" (aka. Aedan) learned to clap his hands. His big brother taught him to do this, and both boys are as proud as can be! Aedan has continued to utilize his newfound skill over the past couple of days, and we are delighted to watch him. He looked so proud Tuesday morning when he "re-discovered" his latest achievement!

Puppets and Pennies

What a fun afternoon we all shared yesterday on the Plaza!! Elijah and Mommy attended the puppet show he had been so long awaiting. It was based on the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey. Full of witty humor, yet maintaining the integrity of the story, the show was as enjoyable as we expected!!
While we were watching the show, Daddy took Callan and Aedan around the Plaza to enjoy the shops and beautiful weather. We joined up with them after the show near one of the Plaza's many fountains. Elijah and Callan were each able to toss in two pennies...and they loved it!!! Just the act of watching where their pennies fell was pure joy for them.
As I have said before, and will say again, what joy we can all behold in such simplicity.
