For some reason, when my mom gets into the car with us, Bobo does this weird trick… every time she turns around to look at him he’ll open his mouth wide and just sit there with it open! I guess maybe it’s like when a dog sticks his head out the window?

We ended up at the fireworks in our town, instead of the fancy ones down near Boston, which was fine. Bobo was a bit scared at first, but after he got used to the loud booms and explosions he was relatively okay with the situation… until Todd started lighting up the backyard… that was WAY too much for him and he wanted to go to bed rather than deal with it! Too funny. They hold the fireworks at the middle school, and we usually park at our friends’ house who live right across the street… but it’s still a LONG…

The Great Battle Epic toddler/Star wars references never get old, at least not to me! Hahahah! I was going to edit a bunch of pictures, but I started with this one and got sidetracked. Ah well! 🙂

This was on the Fourth of July at our town fireworks. Carl bought JJ and Bobo each a lightsaber and well… I don’t think Bobo is old enough to own a weapon of destruction yet! 🙂

These were from the same day as the playground pics… we stopped at the store and Arin got a new toothbrush! This one is probably too big for him though, I need to get him one with softer bristles besides! So cute though, transitioning from his old one to this one. He loves to ‘brush’ his teeth when he’s on the changing pad… I have a little panda bear holder that sticks to the mirror and he points to it and says ‘teeth’, and then ‘soap’, which is what he calls toothpaste. He really just likes to eat the toothpaste,…

This weekend really I had one big goal… bring Arin to finally see Thomas the Tank Engine *in person* down at the Edaville Railway. Last weekend it rained, so that was out, so bright and (sort of) early Friday we got in the car and headed down. Mom even left work so she could come with us and enjoy the fun of riding on a real life Thomas. Sadly, things did not go as planned. Instead of taking 495 which I had intended, we took Julie’s advice to go 95-93-24 which was disgustingly congested the ENTIRE way. The trip was…

These were taken a while ago at the sledding hill playground in South Nashua… the one near Lilac Blossom (to which we went for dinner tonight, but alas it was raining AGAIN so no playground time for Bobo). It’s just about a minute away from our old apartment in Royal Crest, and I didn’t even realize there was one there until Mom mentioned it. Bobo had a great time! There was enough stuff kids his size (under 2) that he could run around and do things and not get into too much trouble… but of course then he wanted to…

Arin loves books… he loves to read them on his own, flipping through and looking at all the pictures and pointing out what’s what… and even more he loves being read to. He can’t get enough of his books, and has been this way ever since he was a teeny tot. Here we are in our pajamas reading the Little Critter Collection book… we also have a bunch of these single books in paperback, which were mine when I was little. I found a lot of my old books, though there are still many more that I’m searching for. One…
