The cast is off, the rain is gone -- look out! We have fully enjoyed the last few days and getting back to summer as summer should be. Will is doing great post cast this time...he definitely still has a little limp that is more pronounced after he is either really active or really sedentary (which is basically only when he's sleeping!) but other than that, it hasn't seemed to slow him down at all. We have ventured back to the pool and park with no incident, so I think we're back on the road to life as we know it.
For those of you who don't know, Will is obsessed with dinosaurs right now. It started with a dinosaur-themed birthday party of a friend, then the PBS show Dinosaur Train, and now is a full blown obsession complete with a membership to the Museum of Natural Science and weekly visits to the "dinosaurs that live in the orange house." Also know as the brick building that is the museum. Here we are at this week's trip to the dinosaur house...
Last night we went with some friends to a farmers market to enjoy the nice summer night and the fact that it had finally stopped raining. There was some great vendors, homemade marshmallows, chocolate goat milk, and all kinds of fruits and veggies. Will's favorite? The peach guy! The guy offered him a peach and he literally bit it right out of his hand and proceeded to eat 2 of them before we even left. I think he made the guy's night -- he just laughed and said "that's what it's all about!" I swear, you would never know that this kid is growing up in the city...
Another big hit around here right now? Gardening. Will is convinced that the plants need watering all the time -- never mind the rain that we've had for 11 straight days -- must water! The good thing is that his version of watering really just involves holding a watering can over the water and then walking it to the flowers....and it's usually empty by the time he makes it, so there's not a lot of actually hydration happening. Now we've started taking it up another notch, and thanks to the gardening set from Aunt Corky, he is "helping mommy" in the flower bed. Very helpful...
What? Doesn't everyone use a tractor while they garden? Will informed me that "Johnny is helping Will" with the gardening. Admit it -- Every Bellamy reading this is smiling right now.
And then there's Georgia; doing her part by enjoying the sun and staying out of the way.
Ahhh...summer.
