he's found he own particular way of playing and has composed a "clean-up song," which he plays while papa cleans up the toys on the rug.

gardening with Nona

like a digital polaroid

one of his birthday gifts was a fisher-price digital camera.
he took about 100 pictures last night in the dark house.
today we took it outside with much better results.
(mama took one, too.)

(thank you, uncle stephen and aunt sandy!)

birthday cup cake baking

my little baker (sans hat today) helped from flour measuring to frosting decorating.

a final addition of purple (blueberry) ice cream

say cheese

his bike

working on sequel's quilt, while he checks the garden
