A Fun Family Weekend

What a great weekend! Friday night Jerry came home early from work and we had a lovely evening together as a family. Saturday morning we woke up and went to for bagels with Grace, Emily and Mark. Grace could not wait to get out of her high chair so she could run around! What a sweetheart! We then took Truman to music class, this week for some reason he decided to be very well behaved and sat in our laps as opposed to running around the room. Later that afternoon we spent some time outdoors cleaning up the backyard and then headed over to the Starkman's for a play date. This was the first time I think that Truman and Jake actually "played" together. They chased each other through the tunnels and "talked" (or rather screamed) with one another. It was adorable! Here's a picture of them trying to get through the gate....Jake was desperate to get to his daddy. So sweet! We're looking forward to many more play dates in the future!

Today, Truman and I met Tina for lunch and we actually ate al fresco despite the cooler weather. The sunshine was just too nice and we decided to make the most of the decent weather. We then took a nice long walk and then played in the park. Truman could not get enough of going down the slide and finally liked going in the swing. Both Tina and I were pooped. The most difficult thing about today was the time change. Truman was over-tired when we finally put him to bed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he sleeps until 7am and doesn't wake up at 6am!

Earlier this week, Jerry and I had our first parent-teacher meeting at Truman's day care. I think Jerry laughed his way through most of the meeting, but it was nice to hear what they had to say about our little one. I don't think they told us anything that we were not already aware of: Truman is an active child (yep), he likes rearranging the furniture (just like at home), he is very affectionate (love those sloppy kisses), has a good appetite (you betcha), is a happy boy (does he ever not have a smile on his face?), he likes to do what other kids are doing (uh oh, we may have a follower on our hands) and loves to be involved in activities, especially the outdoors. I think Jerry and I giggled the most about Truman's "objectives"....he's only one!
