Cole's First Project

Hello!  Things continue to be crazy around here.  Looks like this will be a busy summer for us.  The good news is Cole gets his cast off this week!!!  Everyone is excited.

Cole helped with his first building project this week.  Grandma and Grandpa were able to find some really cool wooded projects for kids and sent them to Cole.  We have been looking for some things that he could help put together as he is very interested in tools.  So our first project was a little wooden school house that has a roof that opens.  Cole got his little hammer out and put on his safety glasses to help dad with the project.  I think he really enjoyed working on it.  He lost a little focus when he saw the roof would open.  He promptly picked up the building and started playing with it constantly saying "Cool".  After a little coaxing and showing him a snail in the back yard he allowed me to finish the project.  

The snail was a big hit.  We have tons of snails in the neighborhood but this is the first one that we found in our yard.  Cole tracked it through the yard.  When mom arrived home and asked him about the snail his response to was to put his finger to his lips and say "Shhhhh."  I guess this is what I was saying to him when we were looking at the snail so we wouldn't disturb it.  

Mom and dad had their first real date night in a very, very long time this week.  We went to see Sting at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. Great concert and a great evening for both of us.  As you can see in the picture Mary had her hair straightened for the day.  Well, when she came home Cole looked at her and wasn't quite sure what to make of the straight hair.  His expression was priceless.  He knew it was mommy, but something was different. 

Hope everyone is doing well.
