...of vacation left. I am so grateful we have such a nice long stretch at the lake this year. We are really getting into this whole relaxation thing. The weather's been perfect all weekend and we've done a lot of kayaking and lazing about in the sun at the point. Lovely big family dinner last night here at the cottages. Jack and Cousin Alex played together like champs! Alex loved being the "big kid" and was super sweet to Jack. Saturday was Aurorafest-- a parade and a real live joust to watch (Jack was fascinated with that-- very concerned when the knights 'fell" off their horses -- "oh no!! Guy! Back on horse!" said with a look of utmost concern.) as well as a concert and food on the lawn at Wells. Friday we went the 2 of us to Ithaca for a concert at Cornell. So Jack's been having a very stimulating time of it! He is ALWAYS happy to return to his bikes, though!
We had a "milestone monday" on BZ today; here's my "quick update" copied from that site...
Jack is saying 2-5 word sentences a lot more often this week. He is getting into imitating the play of older kids, thanks to being here on vacation with his cousins. This is a good thing (pretend play and gross motor skill development) and a bad thing (hitting things with baseball bats, for instance, or trying to climb up and over railings...) He is now eating watermelon and raspberries (this, the kid who would eat NO fruit). He is very into bikes and can get onto one by himself and will sit there and pretend to pedal by moving the pedals up and down really fast. He is also into "pretending" to fall and being very dramatic-- "OOOF! Uh oh!" and then giggling. This may be because he's taken a number of real falls this week as he runs full tilt on the gravel road. We've currently got scabs on both knees and the side of his nose. He can also help to paddle a kayak and a canoe and love love loves to help drive the boat!
And, here are some photos from the vacation thus far!
