Napping again

But I've been doing a lot so the nap will end soon so this will be fast, fast.

A is doing super. He's picking up a lot of words recently, elephant and giraffe and hello (finally). He just comes out with them out of the blue, apple and banana (nana). I think he's used to having all his needs anticipated that he hasn't had to say a lot of words, so I've been trying to be less proactive and reactive to him so he has to ask.

He's into the occasional temper tantrum right now. He's into throwing things and that's bad when we're already down one monitor in this house due to him throwing things. He got a lot of timeouts with Dad for throwing things at people, cats, and screens this weekend.

We go to the Zoo frequently in the evenings now, since the zoo is on extended hours for the summer. The weather is perfect; the air is cooler and the animals are more active. It's a lot of fun.

He adores ice cream. Loves it. Sat in the kitchen with us and polished off two bowls of roasted banana ice cream last night.

Today was swim class, where he is a rock star. He loves to kick around the pool holding onto a noodle to keep him up, and thought he was doing well enough today that he let go of the noodle and dunked himself. Oops.

And we are still getting our CSA share. Yesterday we made a zucchini-basil-squash blossom frittata and a batch of mint ice cream which will become mint stracciatella when I churn it, maybe tonight.
