Mommy’s show was this weekend, so most of the week was crazy with last minute rehearsals and preparations; Cole and I spent a much of time with Coach. Now that the show is over, Mommy is switching gears and teaching Hebrew school, and preparing to take the Lamaze certification exam. Never a dull moment!
Sunday
Woke up the last day of vacation pretty cheerful!
Cole fell asleep in the car on the way to the zoo, so he spent the first little while there waking up on Mommy’s back.
We spent some time in the Congo Gorilla Forest.
Making new friends
The butterflies in the Butterfly Garden really liked our yellow submarine stroller.
Mommy thinks Cole makes a pretty handsome bumblebee.
Bug Carousel? Pretty much my favorite thing ever.
Cole wanted to take a ride in the stroller, so I got to hitch along with Mommy for a while.
Most people plan to hit Stew Leaonard’s on the way home from the zoo. WE decided to go to the zoo since we’d be nearby at Stew Leonard’s… We love that place! Here’s Cole enjoying the singing butter sticks.
Monday
This picture? 15 minutes before we had to head out the door to make it to school in time. Our vacation tuckered Cole out.
Aardvarks makes me happy.
Max’s school was on vacation still, so he got to come to Aardvarks, too!
After we picked Cole up from school, Mommy tried to take us for a walk around Rockland Lake,
We only got about a half a mile before it started pouring, though.
Cole helped Daddy make dinner: spaghetti with shrimp and tomatoes and feta – yum!
Tuesday
On Tuesday morning, I had my monthly baby class, but Coach was going to be watching me and Cole later in the afternoon while Mommy had rehearsal, so Cole came with us.
We sat in the chairs outside and pretended to watch a movie. Those sticks and rocks on the table between us are our popcorn and Twizzlers according to Cole.
We took an unanticipated trip to Dr. Andy’s because I fell and was bleeding from my mouth – I was totally fine, but Mommy just wanted him to count my teeth. Cole and I got to play with the fun toys in his waiting room!
Mommy went in to check on Cole before she went to bed and found him sleeping sitting straight up. He’s weird.
Wednesday
On Wednesday, Mommy and I took our walk around Rockland Lake – it was chilly, but no rain!
I like my pink fluffy coat.
Mommy likes my pink chubby cheeks.
Daddy made roasted vegetable soup, and it was so good I used 2 spoons.
Thursday
Cole was a really good listener while we were at Coach’s house and Mommy was at rehearsal, so Daddy took us to McDonald’s as a treat.
Kid sized tables are still a little too big for me.
I sleep in Mommy and Daddy’s bed, and I stretch out.
Friday
We went to pick up Cole at school on Friday, and I RAN with the big kids!
Seriously? No more popcorn?
Mommy left Cole in charge while she headed off to her performance because Daddy and I were napping.
Saturday
Saturday morning started out with laundry at Coach’s house. I read a story with Grammy Boo.
Cole watched some tv with Coach, and climbed all over him.
Haircut!
After Mommy’s show, we went out to dinner with Coach and Grammy Boo. Coach was my date.
Again, Cole got preferential treatment. Where is MY ginormous strawberry milkshake?
OMG I LOVE Lulu’s little pink coat. Congrats on finishing the show! I hope everything was amazing!
Hand me down! Poor Lulu never gets anything new – we have very generous friends. The show went really well – the kids did a great job!
Love all the pics. The kids are getting so big!!
Thanks! I can’t get over how fast Lulu’s babyhood FLEW by – she’s 15 months today!
