A Busy Week

We had many busy days here in Nashville last week! It's been hot, so we've tried to stay inside for the most part, but here are some of our adventures from the past few days...

We spent one early morning at the zoo. All Noah wanted to do was ride the carousel, but after a few times, I'm usually a little queasy. We rode it 3 times on this visit and here he is on our first spin that morning, riding the jaguar.


On Saturday, we saw the live show, Thomas and Friends. The show was definitely geared towards toddlers and Noah had a great time! (I'll leave the critique from David and I out of it.) He was excited to see Thomas, Percy and James and couldn't have cared less about any storyline. Anytime one of the trains left the stage, he immediately wanted to know where they were and when they were coming back. Since the show, he's been inseparable with the few Thomas toys we have so we know it made quite an impression!



So we've had a pile of gravel in our yard ever since the work has been done on our house. We've kept it with the intent of spreading it on our gravel driveway, but Noah always wants to load up his wagon full of it and just likes to generally play in the big, dusty pile. We finally had some time this weekend to go out and spread the gravel in the driveway (that is, David found the time to do the work and I found the time to watch and be moral support). Noah used his wagon and a garden trowel, which has become his own shovel that no one else can use and he gets out anytime David gets out the real shovels. He was so excited to be of help and wouldn't admit how hot and sweaty he was!
