How do you win against a toddler who insists on picking three different PJs to wear? Say he can wear one, then the other two are “blankets” 🙂

Ask Desmond how old he’s going to be, the answer is “six!” However he knows the shape for “two,” so it may be starting to sink in…

After a post-party nap, it was warm enough for a late afternoon visit to the new splash pad at the zoo

Took a few minutes to observe what all the fuss was about, but Des was soon splashing with the best of them

The penguins were sleeping, but he still waved “hello”

With all the wandering to and fro in the aquarium,  taking a rare break to watch the jellyfish

Des’ first evening at Shakespeare on the Green, during the 30th anniversary season. It also coincided with mom and dad’s 15th anniversary of the first time they picnicked under the stars and drank wine to Shakespeare.

Celebrating Darian’s birthday with all of our friends.
