What a wonderful week of cool weather and rain! The kids enjoyed playing at the YMCA a couple mornings that they couldn't be outside. Our local library offers a wonderful story time we able to enjoy this week as well. The kids enjoy the puppets, singing, and of course the stories. Quentin was able to ride his bike to the library this week, Lars hesitantly accepts a ride in the stroller.
Lars is working hard at using the potty. This week he has been going into the bathroom by himslef and putting the seat on the toilet. He is trying very hard to take his pants on and off on his own. We took that as an indication Lars is ready for training pants. He is a very proud boy!
We all enjoyed a batch of homemade whole grain bread.
