We are back at Farley's for one last breath of summer before we head into the "real world" of school next week... It's been a glorious weekend thus far, absolutely perfect summer weather. Hot, honest to goodness hot, which actually felt wonderful after the cool season we've had. Of course that could be due in part to the fact that we are on the lake, where hot weather can be quickly tempered by a dip in the water. Today we've been out in the kayaks twice, swimming 3 times (once at night) and for a canoe ride. I feel like we are taking good advantage of our 48 hours here.
Jack would like to report that he still really, really likes the "bike and trike" collection here at the cottage (it took some doing and more than a little frustration to talk him away from the bikes and towards the water when we got here yesterday). His trike-riding skills have increased dramatically since our last visit. Today before dinner Jack and I did a complete circuit around the the traffic circle at the end of the point, he riding his trike independently (for the most part), me walking behind and giving him the occasional nudge to get up little hills. Amazing. So something to note-- Jack can ride a tricycle at the age of 1. :)
I am trying to very consciously enjoy these last few weeks of him being a 1 year old. It's kind of strange, as I think both Nat and I have been thinking of him as "2" for a few months now. Perhaps it's his height or the fact that we tend to be some much more focused on what is to come than the now. I am not sure. But I am trying to really notice and capture who he is at this moment, now, when he is still a 1 year old, a baby... almost, but not quite yet, a 2-year-old...
