All worn out after water play day

All worn out after water play day

Des got to sit in a firetruck at daycare! Looks generally enthused

Perusing the thai restaurant menu before a big storm

Sometimes you get cute updates from daycare-
Only shortly followed by boo-boo reports, like Des tripping, wiping out, and getting carpet rash on his nose as he was laying out his nap mat

Either way, he’s still smiling 🙂
Des staring at the class fish, Fin, is documented and posted in the care plan. Should we get a fish at home? Mom says no.

Ah, the sheer joys of finding sticks, running around, and hitting things with said sticks. Spring is upon us.

Four-leaf clover craft project at daycare’s St Patrick’s Day party, preceded by green grapes, kiwi and green jello for snacks. When Ms. Kristen asked Desmond if he wanted to paint, Des enthusiastically shook his head yes and ran over to the cupboard where the paints are stored. Don’t have to ask this kid twice if he wants to get messy 🙂

Every evening at dinner we read the sheet from daycare detailing Des’ day, including various activities and the goals he worked on. Today’s goal: “not eating the sand :)”

Celebrating Ma’s birthday downtown

Des is really excited when both mom and dad surprise him with early pick up at daycare

After new outfit shopping for Des’ upcoming photos, we head over to the new food hall for dinner. Did you check out those lights?!

Buggy rides at daycare are tiring when you wake up at 4:30am

Pre-season sandbox visit, dreaming of summertime

Sixty degrees on a Friday in February? That can only mean fish fry time at Holy Name, with our friends Eric, Gini, and Ethan.

Ethan found a pine cone and gifted it to Des

Just goofing around

This was Des’ second year at the fish fry, but the first for eating. Basically a plate of fried stuff, so it’s a once-a-season visit.

He also took quickly to dunking french fries in cocktail sauce.
