What We Do For Fun

Life has gone back to normal, leaving me not a whole lot to blog about. Jeff is working, Michael and I stay home, and I try to get things done during the day.

Lately, a typical day for us consists of...

Michael feeding himself breakfast and tossing what he doesn't want on the floor:

Some relaxing time, kicking back in our respective chairs:

Something to stimulate Michael's developing brain. Sometimes it's just a walk, reading books, or even just playing with the neighbor kids. But sometimes we do something especially fun, like...

Going to the splash park, which has fountains! Michael has a great time sticking his hand in them and spraying himself:

Or going to the aquarium up in Sandy where Michael loves to splash in the stingray pool (he once accidentally touched a stingray and really didn't like it. He's just there to splash in their poopy water), and watch the fish in the tiny tanks for small kids:

This picture is from the other side of that tank. He thought it was the coolest thing that he could see me and kept coming around to look at me and run back to the tank to look through the glass:

The last time we went, the penguins were playing and Michael loved them. He laughed and laughed at them as they jetted through the water, right past his face:

Then Jeff gets home and Michael usually drops whatever he's doing to greet him and spend some quality time with his Daddy:

Then dinner, bath and bed. Not terribly interesting, but that's life right now.

In closing, random pictures...

Eating fruit loops with a fork:

Michael recording his own height:

Michael's first sucker. I had one and let Michael hold it for a bit. He strutted back and forth across the downstairs sucking on it and holding it above his head as he ran:

This is a bad picture, but you get the general strutting image.
