when I was young and full of grace

a september of bubbles and balls, smiles and flowers, naps and books.

turn on your lovelight

in most parts of the country, labor day marks the end of summer. here in SF, it means the end of fog and the return of warm weather. cassidy celebrated with a trip to dolores park to go down the big slide, which we were more scared of than him. he also squeezed in a meal with freya, some quality computer time with daddy, and some pre-halloween spooky flashlight faces.

the new style

Cassidy started preschool this week. So far, so good. In preparation for this big milestone, he's been modeling new fashions, reading books about farts, going to birthday parties, learning to drink from alphabet-themed cups, and being menaced by large penguins.

It's been a busy summer for our little bear. Cassidy's new exploits include going down the big slide, climbing the ladder, further adventures in piano playing, mastering the iPad, and successful potty training (not pictured). Not bad!

you're sick of hanging around and you like to travel

As a Sagittarius, Cassidy is a natural traveler. He had a great time on our trip to Wisconsin - he got to go on an airplane, read books, play with the iPad, visit the Children's Museum and the zoo, model new and innovative fashions, and most importantly see family and friends, including Grandma Sonnie and Grandpa Chris, Aunt Jessica, the Zeimets, Jody, Raina, Todd, Moe and Howie (Keelee - sorry we missed you!), cousin Sara, Lesly, and his new friend Jack. We suspect they were planning a road trip.
