It's Missing!

Tai likes to say those words, but today it is I who must declare, "It's missing!"  I hid my camera so Tai wouldn't grab it, and now I can't remember where I put it.  That means the pictures of the completed play set will have to wait.  Don't fret, dear readers!  I am sure it will turn up... eventually.

In Progress

Sweet

Tai and I stopped at Target while Maia was at summer camp. It is different hanging out with only one child. In some ways it is easier, but also harder because there is no entertainment. You're it! Thankfully, Target serves popcorn and lemonade, so Tai stayed occupied long enough for me to grab the items I needed.

The sweetest thing, though, was that whenever we passed a "girlie" item or something that Maia would like, Tai would say,"Stop. Stop. Go back." When I returned to the thing he was noticing, he would say, "How about we buy it [for] Maiachan?" It warmed my heart. Both of my kids have such sweet dispositions and love each other. I feel extremely fortunate and grateful.

Pony Rides!

What makes a kid happier than a pony ride?  I can't think of much.  Maia and Tai had a great time experiencing the pony ride at the Columbus zoo.  Maia has gone on pony rides before, but this was Tai's first time.  He did a great job and reminded me that he is growing up quickly and is no longer really a baby.  After all, babies can't ride ponies by themselves.

Super Bunny

We went to a really fun birthday party with a super-hero theme.  The mom made costumes for all the kids!  It was so adorable the next morning before breakfast when Tai found his costume, put it on, and declared, "I super bunny!"  Maia tried to get him to wear the ears, but he was not interested, so she decided to just wear them herself.
