Thrilling Sunday

On a grey, rainy, coldish Saturday, we still had fun. But we were all hanging from the rafters a bit: 



To follow it up with a sunny, thrilling Sunday was amazing.

You were both in moods to create:

Lego masterpieces...


Solutions to daunting mazes...

Collages...





Face art...

And you wanted to play and work together:

Bear family:


Giant 100-piece puzzle that you opted to do by yourselves, on your own...and to completion!





and...of course...dancing. Always dancing...



Then we went outside with the dogs...


and with neighbors:






Finally we reunited with old friends (your "old bestie" Lennon and Harrison) for a fun-tastic dinner and yogurt outing.



Just a slice of life in the amazing story of Aidan and the amazing story of Julia. What a thrilling sunday!

The amazing puzzler!

Julia,

You never cease to amaze us and surprise us. You're not even 3 years old, yet sometimes you have the patience, smarts, and skills of a kid/grown-up 10 times your age!

The other day, Mommy and you went to Aunt Sham's house. After you were done claiming you treasures from her jewelry box - a shiny ring! a necklace!- you sat down to do some puzzles that Mommy brought for you to play with on a whim.

You see, you have done puzzles many times on the iPad, but never really showed any interest in real terrestrial puzzles.

But, that day at Aunt Sham's you were patient, clever, and resilient enough to finish THREE puzzles by working diligently and calmly and crazily smartly for about an hour!

By the time I finally got to see you do this trick, you were so confident that you could do it, that you needed no help at all! 

But you were super psyched!

"DADDY, I win the puzzle!!" 




Ever since, you've been kinda "into" puzzles pretty hard!

Mommy sent me these pictures! You were so excited! You announced "I win the puzzle!"

Double Thumbs-up
 And, later that night, we were all on the couch in the living room and I heard some scooching noises...then I realized that you were dragging the puzzle into the living room to show me that you had won this mega-big puzzle too! Amazing!

Now, it got a little dinged up in the travel and in some foot traffic. You noticed this and had to fix it immediately. It didn't matter that you noticed it was dinged up and had to fix it while you were literally on your way to the bathtub. You were not deterred by being a tad under-dressed.


And, you saw the whole thing through to completion!



At home or miles away,
Fully dressed, semi-clothed, or nude,
You are the ultimate puzzler-
You WIN the puzzle, dude!
