A few months ago, we found this Cozy Coupe on a really good sale and meant to give it to Ian for his birthday. We didn't get around to setting it up until this week. Ian has been having a great time zooming down the driveway. About 3/4 of the way down, he picks up his feet and just coasts out into our cul-de-sac. (It definitely reminds Kim of Uncle Andrew as a little boy!)
One fun activity last week was water balloons. Ian had never seen one before! He loved "helping" to fill them up, squeezing them,
and throwing them! He quickly learned that they popped most quickly when he threw them onto the grass. He also quickly learned how fun it was to play with the filled balloons before they were tied off .... especially if it involved getting Momma soaked!
We continue to make progress on Ian's big boy room! My friend, Lauren, helped to give me some crafty suggestions on how to decorate these letters for Ian's wall. Now, the entire room (walls, ceiling, trim, and doors) are painted. Next up are adding the border, arranging the furniture, and decorating the walls! We're within just a few weeks of being all done! :)
Last Friday, Ian and I met some friends at the fountains on Market Street. It turned out to be a great way for Ian, Carson, and Nate to beat the heat!
As usual, Ian did not mind at all getting his face completely wet.
This time, we brought some water toys along. It was amusing to see how Ian thought to use the funnel.
Nate liked trying to catch the water coming from the funnel in a bucket. Thanks for the fun morning, Elisabeth, Elaine, and Carole! :)
We celebrated Labor Day by going to the zoo. The weather was beautiful, so it seemed like most Houstonians had the same idea. :) The meerkats were still a big hit for Ian.
Ian crawled through the aquarium tunnel for the first (and second and third) time ever.
The guys also got an up-close view for the elephant bath!
It's always fun to spend a day with Daddy! :)
On Tuesday, we set out to make "Clean Mush" (another idea from Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos.) Ian helped to grate a bar of Ivory soap and add 1/2 cup of Borax.
He then helped to unroll a roll of toilet paper (a big hit!) and add water.
The resulting "clean mush" was so much fun to squish, pick up with tongs (just like at Aunt Amy's house!), drop on the ground, and stomp on!

I really enjoy reading your blog! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you could tell me some of the links you're using with Ian, again. I would love to "Pin" them in my Pinterest account and use them for my kids and daycare girls. Thanks!
So far, I've just used the First Experiences with Art for Toddlers & Twos book and my cousin's blog (blueberriesandpickles.blogspot.com). I've heard good things about the Counting Coconuts blog too. :) Good to hear from you, friend!
