May is here...

Okay, so I missed an update last week, but we got outside enough that there are pictures to share regardless...

Last weekend was pretty busy... the weather was nice, so we spent a bunch of time outside, but we also put together Sara's first real bed. She was "helpful" of course too. However, she has not slept in it yet, even though for every nap and night we start out in the bed, and then she changes her mind and wants to get back into the crib. The first night she surprised (not pleasantly) by climbing out of her crib. We were a bit surprised to hear her not from the monitor, but her voice coming down the stairs from behind the gate.... she wanted in the bed, and then back into the crib. At least we know it was time to get a bed ready for her. Sara is also showing renewed interest and use of the potty... but is clearly not ready for actual "training" to begin... hopefully this summer.

Sara is doing well otherwise, we have a few "two" moments everyday, but we are getting used to them now, and they are usually not full on fits, which we are thankful for.... and Sara is now 23 Months old... a big birthday coming up the end of the month... hard to believe it has been 2 years.

This weekend she has ol' Dad to herself as Mom is off at a workshop in Atlanta for the weekend. So far so good, though she clearly misses Mommy. Next week I'll be gone for two days (one night), so the trips will be on top of each other, but she'll do fine.

And now for some pics...

Last weekend we went to Preston's Hope Park, which is a fully accessible park over by the JCC. It is a pretty cool park that my brother and I would have enjoyed when we were younger.

Sara did some mountain climbing... (watch out Chad, she's coming for ya...)



Of course, they have swings (a favorite)



And little car bouncers...
