Busy Day . . . and Funny Videos

Nicholas had a busy (and apparently exhausting) day. On our Wegman's trip this morning he became a tad bit obsessed with the train and this giant stuffed cow on the cheese counter. So much so that he got really mad at me if I tried to walk away from them.

After a nap and a fun lunch date with Daddy (who was working at a nearby coffee shop for the day), we went up to Allison's house. Nicholas was even more interested in the dogs and cat this time around and started to get the hang of petting them.

His favorite part of playing with the pets was definitely trying to chase them. Luckily the dogs have gotten pretty mellow in their old age and the cat was able to easily jump up on high surfaces to escape.

We then went to this really cool playground nearby. Nicholas really only wanted to swing in the same old baby swings, but I think this playground will be awesome for him next spring. You can only sort of tell in this picture, but there are huge wood castles and all sorts of fun tire structures.

But the highlight of the day was our evening playtime (after a few meltdowns, occasioned I assume by a long day and a short nap in a hot car). There are some hilarious videos in the Gallery, but this picture is my favorite:

Nicholas discovered that crashing his car into things was more fun that driving it around. Hopefully you can hear his giggles over my own laughter in the videos.
