We are fully into toddler territory now...

Likes: Playgrounds, running away from mom, playing with friends, all the food!

Dislikes: Not being allowed to eat all the food (even the chocolate), getting dressed, diaper changes

Sleeping: After a few nights of wake ups, we're back to normal. Thank goodness, I was not loving those random screaming wake ups in the middle of the night.

Eating: All the food! Seriously this kid eats just about anything. He especially loves crab rangoon and clam chowder right now. He also mastered drinking from a straw this month. Makes my life a lot easier. Beyond his non-pickiness, he's been eating constantly. Must be all that growing he's doing.

Playing: He's becoming more and more interactive now. Preschool Thursdays are perfect for him to try and play with friends. All the little toddlers together are adorable. We've been working on playing with cars and putting together puzzles. His new favorite toy is a dump truck. He loves putting things, especially his stuffed monkey, into the back and pushing it around the kitchen.

Medical Milestones: In the past two weeks, Arthur has gotten four molars and two canines. It's been a rough time, but at least they're down. Hopefully we get a bit of a respite before the next ones come in.

Schedule:Arthur's been waking up around 7am lately. I'm loving this slightly later time. We drop J off at the BART station and then head to the park or South Bay for an event. We have to make sure to be back home after lunch for nap time. He's been sleeping 2-3 hours a day. After naps, we play or sometimes watch an episode of Sesame Street while I cook dinner. I think we've finally got a good schedule going...

Out and About: We've been driving down to South Bay for parent group events about three times a week. I haven't found a decent parent group up here yet... I might just have to start my own. Instead, we rejoin our SB group for park playdates, museum visits, preschool, and Shoreline walks.
