We had a great weekend last with Auntie Chrissy who kindly came out to save the day and entertain us while Daddy was out of town cheering on the second winded Terps (yippee). We had so much fun - we had a trip to the playground, McDonald's, and on Sunday even the zoo which is every one's favorite place ever. All and all it was a great time and so fun that the boys just love crawling all over and playing with Chrissy.
While we were at lunch at McDonald's we did play on the playground and had something interesting happen. Little Nino followed Alessandro right up into the land of play and seemed to not even look back. We were a little worried that we were going to have to climb up and get him until Alessandro appeared at the very top climbing across the bridge two stories up. We thought at first that he had ditched his much younger brother on the way up until we saw a little hand climbing up after him - YIKES Nino was all the way up there. After some coaching Alessandro helped him to the slide and he came right down with a smile on his face. That baby has no fear and will not stand for being left behind anywhere.
Chrissy and I also took the boys out for dinner - be it lazy Mexican but it was still lots of fun. The boys both seemed to eat well and like the excitement of dining out which David and I want to try more with them of course. Afterwards we did treat everyone to ice cream which was very well received as you will see in the photos.
Our zoo trip was the perfect way to spend a nice fall afternoon - we walked around Turttleback and loves seeing all the animals. Nino will NOT stay in the stroller anymore which is hard but he does get quite a work out running around and loving every minute of it. Of course we rode the train and saw all their favorites (monkeys, penguins, eagles, kangaroos and of course the farm animals up close and personal). This visit we were able to actually get into the pin with the goats and sheep which was very exciting. Taking hands on to an all new level of course.
This week has also been a tough one since we (or should I say poor Nino) has given up his beloved babas cold turkey. They kid is seriously in love with milk but will only drink it out of a bottle, so to avoid becoming the next bad parents a la Suri Cruise we have given this a go to give up. It has been hard and he is a little stinker in the morning and at nap time without it. If anyone has a good idea about how to better handle this we are certainly all ears. Until next time we are all well and wishing everyone a perfect fall. XOXO
