Outdoors Fun!

On Saturday we went to the playground at the local nature center, Trailside. They have a couple of great playground structures that are great fun for Quinn. He\’s all decked out in blue again (and Don loves to dress him in orange pants!).



5 Funny Things about Quinn

1. Last night we thought we were going to be out late, so I let Quinn take a nap today. He was up until about 12:30 am with Don, so I think no-nap days are still the way to go.

2. Quinn and Don share many common interests, fire being one of them. Quinn loves fire! He loves blowing at the candle and then asks \”more fire\”.

3. Quinn has learned to say please and has started with the \”please, please, please\”. Such as \”DVD please, please, please\”, \”milk please, please, please\”. Last night when he was up with Don he wanted Don to sit on a stool to draw with him. So he said \”Papa sit, please, please, please\”. Very cute!

4. He has also learned to say \”sorry\”. This is definitely not a word that we taught/encouraged him to say. He mostly understands it and uses it correctly but often apologizes to inanimate objects. \”Sorry chair\” or \”sorry paper\”. But glad to hear him say it and use it.

5. Last night he took his coat off all by himself!

Quinn Loves Chopsticks

Tonight we decided to try a local hibachi grill for dinner. You might remember what happened the last time we went to Benihana. Not so much fun. But Quinn had a great time tonight watching the chef do his thing. Lots of clinking and clanking with the knives and a flaming onion volcano that even \”choo choo\’d\” as it made it\’s way across the grill.

Here\’s Quinn getting a handle on his chopsticks.

And he hits the mark with some noodles! Way to go!

Happy Family!

It\’s nice to have a restaurant where we can take Quinn.
