A Saturday to remember..

Today will go down as one of those extremely memorable days.  We had nothing spectacular planned, and really didn't 'do' anything important.  But we DID spend the entire day with our babies.  And it was pretty awesome.  Here are a few of the highlights.

• Kingston loved playing play-dough with Momma & Daddy while Charlotte napped.  He LOVED squishing all the different animals that I made.. best $9.00 bucket of playdough 'stuff' EVER. 
• Watching K pack his 'ba-pak' (backpack) with cars and toys so he could go with daddy. 
• Daddy & Kingston spending the morning doing errands; getting haircuts, driving around in the new 'cahhh', going to the Harley Davidson store (K LOVED the motorcycles), seeing (and going into) a firetruck.  And of course sharing a yummy smoothie with daddy.
• Momma & Charlotte went shopping for groceries together, and she giggled and 'talked' the whole time.
• K  loved having a take-out lunch with Momma & Daddy.
• Installing Charlotte's new BIG GIRL carseat in the SUV. 
• After a nice long nap, going for a walk (K walked for most of the time -- only riding in the stroller up the really big hill!) around the neighbourhood and seeing police cars, Bubba got to play with a child around the corner from us.
• Kingston read stories with Momma for a loooooong time after supper while Charlotte and daddy played.
• Kingston loved jumping on the couch with Charlotte (who thought it was HILARIOUS).
• Lots of snuggles and cuddles, hugs and kisses from K.

We talk about it often -- but our little boy really is not a baby anymore.  He is communicating with us and attempting to say EVERYTHING.  He refuses to use baby sign language anymore (except 'thank you') and attempts to say the words instead.  Does it matter that 'yucky' comes out 'ikkkkkkkkkkth', or 'please' comes out 'pssssssssss'.  Not at all :) We know what hes saying, and I'm so proud everytime he uses one of his expressions. 

As we put him to bed (as per usual, he took himself to his crib and said 'bed'), he gave us hugs and kisses and waved.  Then he laid right down onto his pillow, snuggled Sheldon (his puppy) and blanket and that was it.  Lights out.  We've decided that once we get home from Vegas we will be trying the toddler bed for a few weeks, and if that works out well he will be moving into his big boy double bed! (his crib converts).
