Another fun day at the zoo

Todd and Sebastian took advantage of the nice weather this week and visited the Columbus Zoo. Sebastian sure loves the petting zoo the most, evident in the pictures of him hugging the goats. I am glad there was a nice day this late in the year to go, and sure wish I could have been there with them!

Thursday was "Beggar's Night" here in Columbus. It was too cold and windy to have Sebastian in his costume, but he did help Todd hand out candy. It was more fun to chase the other kids down the street than stay on the porch with Daddy, so they gave up around 7 PM.

Tomorrow we head to the ALcorn's house (technically we are going to Stephanie's Mom and Dad's) for the annual Halloween party. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Fun day at COSI

We joined COSI, and Sebastian and I finally spent a few hours checking it out today. To be honest we could have saved the money on the membership had I known how entertaining the lobby would be. There is a "Clifford the Big Red Dog" display and Sebastian had a ball playing in the different areas.

We finally ventured into the center itself and went right to the 2nd floor's Kidspace area. Sebastian spent the next 90 minutes running around and playing harder than I have ever seen. I really think he had a great time. In fact, the he was not too happy to leave. I can't wait to take him back again and again and watch him experience and learn as he grows and understands the different areas more. For now, climbing all over the Kidspace is fun enough.

Catching Up

Hello everyone, sorry for the long time without posting. Things have been very busy with work and I am far behind on my updates.

The biggest news since I last posted was our Disney vacation. The entire Deans family went to Disney for a week of sight seeing and family "together" time. We had a wonderful time, stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge (courtesy of our Vacation Club Membership), and visited 3 parks. Aside from some off schedule issues between the two kids (Sebastian and my niece Amalia) it was great. Some pictures are shown below.

The other big thing is that Sebastian now recognizes nearly all of his letters, all of his numbers up to 10 and can count to 12 (sometimes 15) on his own. Todd is doing an amazing job teaching him all sorts of things as they play and read books all day. I wish I could be home to see it.

Next post will be in a week, when I unveil Sebastian's 2010 Halloween costume!

Poolside at Animal Kingdom

Sebastian looked at a plate of lemons and said "BANANA!" and insisted on eating it. He sucked the juice out of 2 lemons before we were finished lunch.

Sebastian and Pop-Pop (aka Bop-Bop) drawing on Sebastian's light tablet. I think Pop Pop was more intrigued by the light tablet than Sebastian.

Sebastian hugging Amalia (aka Ya Ya) they were so cute together!

After a nap--someone looks so serious!

Big hugs with Tigger!
