Bye Bye Diapers

Malcolm is officially diaper free and has been for about three weeks now! I can't believe that for the first time in five years, I will not be buying diapers during our weekly grocery run. Yay! Way to go Moosey, we are very proud of you. And the trick that did it...firemen don't wear diapers.

Haircut

We finally gave Wyatt a much needed haircut. He has been growing his hair out because he wants it to be as long as his friend Allistair's. But, the longer Wyatt's hair gets, the wilder and more dreaded it becomes. It was a bit unwieldy so I seized a rare opportunity when he was receptive to getting a trim to give him a good cut. He was so sad when he looked in the mirror and saw how short it was that he started to cry. He seems happier about it now since I haven't once had to comb it or detangle it since he got it cut so, I think he might be coming around. Plus he likes the fact that "it makes him look more like a ten year old."

Bay Area Discovery Museum

This past Saturday we met up with Dottie, Esther, Frannie and Jane for a fun morning at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. The kids enjoyed themselves and enjoyed being outside during a break from all the rain we've had lately. Wyatt has nearly outgrown the "toddler" area of the museum - he's taller than 42 inches now! After the museum we headed to Sausalito for lunch at Fish. The kids loved running around chasing pigeons and looking for sea lions (we saw one swim by!) and the adults got to relax and enjoy some great seafood and beers. A very fun afternoon for all.

Cute Boys

These photos were taken by Tony and Rosie, dear friends of the Ricci family who've been in the photo business for years. They took several great shots of the kids while they visited - I'm just posting a few.

Train is coming!

Today the boys and I - along with Gigi & Giggen - took the train to Burlingame. They get to see the Caltrain often at Gigi's house but have only ridden it once before. They were very excited to be on the double decker train again and of course insisted on sitting on the top floor. According to Malcolm a ride on the "N" muni train just wasn't good enough because "it doesn't go anywhere!" and he was tired of San Francisco.

Skate Park

Thank you to "Uncle" Chuck for introducing Wyatt to the indoor skatepark in Pacifica. He hasn't stopped talking about it since he went and has been asking to go back daily. He also has been constructing makeshift ramps to ride on in the garage. He is definitely hooked on skateboarding. I suspect a backyard ramp might be in his future.
