What Heaven looks like to a 2-year-old

I don't know who was the city-planning genius who decided to take out our city pools and put in these spray parks, but they should be given a medal. On a hot summer day with a rambunctious toddler, this is the best way to wear them out. It's just a spongy surface with sprinkler toys of all types for running and splashing and screaming with joy... then taking really good naps when you get home. No one can drown and no one is swimming in pee.

We enjoyed celebrating Madeleine's birthday with her and her family. D wasn't his normal exuberant self. He had a fever that morning and we debated staying home, but a second wind came along that afternoon and he had a great time. He even enjoyed his first bag of Cheetos and experienced the best side effect. mmmmm, Cheeto-y orange fingers.

Madeleine was excited to see "Baby Donovan". She held his hand, they danced in circles and away they walked into the the cool water...
