Prepositions

Zack has really been getting his prepositions down. Before Christmas he mostly used semi-colon-length pauses to separate nouns or nouns and verbs: "Hummus; chair; spoon." Now he is really filling out his sentences: "Zat-Zat need hummus, in a chair, wiff a spoon." (He even is increasingly saying, "Pease.") Here he is, telling me, "Zat-Zat under a table!" However, he still has a few things to work out---today his dad took him for a walk in the morning to give me another hour of sleep, and Zack said, "Trader Joes!" His dad asked, "Do you want to go TO Trader Joes?" And Zack said, "FIVE Trader Joes!" Uh oh, homophones!

Fishing on the potty

This fishing set from Grandma Robin is lots of fun. Zack particularly likes the jellyfish.

Ice

We dumped this ice out of the trike, and then Zack put it back.

Back in BKLYN

Great CA visit, easy flight home. Zack is happy to see all his toys and especially his books. No photos because my phone is full and so is my computer and I have to fix my photo storage problem. In the meantime, here is Daddaddy and Uncle Greg working on foundation pilings. This wall had square nails and is at least 100 years old and possibly as old as 1875, when the railroad started was using this property. Or it could be older---the town was first settled in the 1850s.
