More photos to come but for now let it be known that our Day Out with Thomas in Baltimore this past weekend was very exciting! Unexpected mind blowing detail: Thomas *talked* and his facial expressions changed! Steam puffed out of his steam stack too.

chapter books

Abby reading chapter books = a whole new era! Abby's reading inspires other members of the family to browse the bookshelf too.

this is nate

This is Nate.  He is a really sweet guy.  Except when he's not.  3.5 year olds are so emotionally INTENSE.  A few examples of severe injustices that occurred over the last couple of weeks that led Nate to break down into hysterics:

1) His yogurt at breakfast was not served in a green bowl.

2) On the car ride home from preschool he was not allowed to rip the pages of the road atlas into tiny pieces.

3) We made him take off his pajamas before putting his clothes on in the morning.

4) Abby got in the car first.

5) We had ravioli for dinner.

6) When brushing his teeth before bed, we wouldn't let him squeeze the toothpaste directly onto his teeth.

Peak week for cherry blossoms, and boulders to scramble on!
