My Own Superman

On Saturday we attended the Westfield YMCA\’s Healthy Kids Event. We met up with Robin and her family but also so a couple of other families that we know from the pool and around town. Quinn had a great time going through the giant bouncy obstacle course. Climbing up a rope ladder and then sliding down a giant slide. \”Again\”, \”again\” was what we heard most of the day. He was probably one of the littlest guys on the obstacle course but he was holding his ground.

My big guy took a look at the rock climbing wall and thought it looked pretty easy. It looked pretty challenging to me. Yikes! But he gave it a go and totally conquered it! He said that he heard some of the \”rocks\” creaking under pressure which alarmed him a bit, but he made it to the top with no problems. My hero! Check it out…

Sleep Where I Fall, Part II

You may remember this post from when Quinn was about a year old. He just kept on going without a nap until he could not take another step and down he went. We had a bit of a repeat episode.

He woke up early but wasn\’t receptive to a nap in the afternoon. That usually means he tries to catch some zzzzz\’s around 5 pm. Usually while sitting in the chair watching TV while I make dinner. This time we had opened a card from Mae and then I ran upstairs to change. I came back down and he was O-U-T!

Look at that chubby little angelic face.

And a view from above. The great thing was I could practice some photography while he slept. For this one I hopped up on a chair and got a straight overhead shot.

Have I ever mentioned his slippers? That is usually one of the first things he asks for after where\’s papa, go get milk, turn off noises (wave machine) and then get slippers. And DO NOT even think of putting them on for him. No way jose!!!! He must grab them and carry them downstairs. It\’s usually a good hour before he puts them on, but he must have them in hand. He\’s very opinionated that way, our guy.
