Toddler Craze!

Just how are we supposed to take care of a new baby with this guy on our hands???

International Day at Avery's School

Avery celebrated International Day at his Montessori school last week. Papa took the day off work to volunteer, which meant they both dressed up. Avery wore an Indo-Turkish outfit. Chris wore a Spanish shirt. 

The morning included traveling around the world from booth to booth, doing crafts and eating special foods. Each class represented a different continent and had created their own food and craft tables.

Apparently, the muesli in Europe was Avery's favorite.

Avery and Brookie decorated masks.

And they all watched dance performances by each class.

What a worldly little guy.

Neighbors!

We have the best neighbors: Astrid and William.  Last weekend we took them to the zoo. 

We saw a guinea hog (from which boar bristles are harvested).

And tortoises (see Avery trying to stand like Astrid?)

She helped him the whole morning.

And they inspected the small animals at the zoo (spiders).

We saw a baby baboon clinging to its mother.

The zoo has rides, too!

Such a good outing for all!
