June 20 to July 11

I've been a little behind on Pete's blog, for no good reason. We've mainly hung around home. Our summer schedule is pretty relaxing: Children's Day Out for Pete from 9-12, and then lunch and a nap, and then we play during the afternoon. He often has playdates (with Charlie and Sam, or Everett and Owen, or Maggie and Annie) or we'll run errands. Pete is very into trains and Legos these days.

At TCBY

Waiting to go into his classroom at CDO

He's discovered jumping on the bed

Fipi died on July 3. It was very sad--she was so good with Pete! I'd had her since grad school.

At Sam's birthday party

Drinking milk with Courtlyn

He was tasting rocks. He thought it was funny that I wanted him to stop.

With Sam and Charlie. Pete loves older boys--he'll do anything Charlie (he's 4) wants him to do.

Case in point

He's a very snuggly guy

I gave him a haircut. Cutting hair is hard, I learned. Mat said he looked like a farmer from the 1930s.
