Ignoring the avocado on his face, he's pretty darn cute!

Umm...yeah.  That's our boy!

Land of the Misfit Toys

We went to a park on Saturday in Berkeley.  The park is officially named Totland and is perfectly designed for the under 3 crowd.  Noah could have cared less about the play structures, though.  As you can see, this park is a repository for toys who have been outgrown by park visitors.  Noah couldn't keep away!  Funny thing is, most of the other kids were doing just the same.

 We have this one at home!

 This one was the oldest saddest toy, but quite a few kids rode it while we were there!

 Noah LOVED this car.  I think he especially loved the wet sand that was in the trunk.  Ew.

 What?  More sand?  Ok!

I guess if you want to see how a toy holds up, check out Totland!  Another note, none of the toys had lights and sounds that worked, but the kids still loved them.  Why do we they all come with all the flashy stuff?

Fun times

  Noah thought he would help put away laundry.

 Unfortunately, he put it all in the same drawer!

He needs to learn to fold!

Fun times

An old picture I don't think we ever shared.  This was from June at Lake Temescal in Oakland.

Playing at the park with Mommy.  Pretty decent cell phone pic!

With his new friend "Duck" that he and Mommy found at a garage sale for 50 cents.  He insisted on taking it to the bookstore and made many people smile as he took it for a walk outside.

Silly Boy!

I guess Julia is a loud nose blower...

Potty Training Fun

Noah has been interested in using the potty, so we decided to dedicate some of the weekend as potty time.

With so much naked bottom time on our hands, Noah was stuck at home.  Thankfully a box arrived from Grandpa and Noah had a blast with the packaging!

Nutmeg was not impressed.

Potty weekend was hit and miss with more misses than hits, but Noah is much better about letting us know when he is going potty, so it definitely was not a waste.  We'll try again in a month or so and see where it goes.

Labor Day Camping with the Lopezjones'!

More pictures will be coming soon, but I thought this was a great comparison.
