Carter's day of fun.

Yesterday was a super fun day. Of course most days are, but this was extra fun. Maybe its because Carter was in a great mood. Lately we've been struggling quite a bit with tantrums, lack of listening and a not-so-mutual new found love of hitting/kicking/pulling hair/biting that makes some moments of the day become quite frustrating, to say the least. But, yesterday wasn't any of that. I love those days.

We started with a great breakfast. Lucy just loves her bumbo seat, especially when she gets to join us at the table.
Then it was time to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies! Lucy decided she was going to supervise.
Carter loves to bake! Well, I think he loves to sample, but hey, I'll take it. It's always fun to have a baking partner...even if it takes 3 times longer and makes a huge mess!!

After nap time, we headed down to the Skagit Children's Museum. We got a membership for Christmas and try to go pretty regularly. Yesterday was great though, because there were only about 5 other kids there. It was so nice to have the extra room available for Carter to run and play without waiting to take turns or share (another lesson we are working on!). These pictures are pretty blurry because I used my phone, but you get the idea.

He played at the doll house.
Went shopping at the farmer's market.
Explored the music room (and in the process, woke up Lucy with his excitement on the drums).
Went for a climb.
Dug in the sand (and brought home about 6 cups worth in his pants....that was fun to clean up).
And colored. He has a new obsession with hats and proudly wore this pilot hat most of the time. Now I'm just praying he doesn't develop head lice from wearing a hat that has most likely never been washed but worn about 425 times by germy little children. Ugh...gross.
And finally, got really, really, really wet. Like he tried to jump in 3 times before I said we were all done and it was time to go.
We came home, had a snack and did some yoga.

Yep, it was a pretty great day.
