My son loves his Car pajamas. The pants to it are red, white and blue and plaid style. They are hilarious and he loves them. Come to think of it, Quinn always loves whatever set of pajamas is new and would like to wear them more than just for bed time. Went to swimming lessons last night for the first time in two weeks. Quinn loves the swim instructor this time around. It's a guy and he's very interactive and goes beyond the syrupy sweet voice of the teen girl instructors. Quinn wants to chase him around the pool and play. Funny kid.

Last night we had a small accident with Quinn. My little explorer decided to pull up the vent in his room. Then, before I could put it back, he decided to walk over it, forgetting it was gone. His little foot slipped into the hole and it gave him a scratch on the bottom of his foot that bled a bit. Poor thing. 'Course, as soon as he had a bandaid on his heel, he began to walk around on his toes. I do love that somehow he always knows how to protect his injury, even when his injury is sometimes fake:)

My wonderful little boy seems to be on his way to weening himself. Sort of. Of course, yesterday was the first time I admitted that aloud to Luke and then Quinn was nursing more than ever last night. Maybe he intuited it too. Now that I have longer work days with Luke at home with Quinn, we are nursing later and he's been sleeping for longer periods at night. The books and articles all say that weaning is something really gradual and that he may just surprise me one day and be done. Quinn has had so many transitions lately with Luke home and no more Jo-Jo's. I think he's handled it all really well. Excellent little boy.

The newest routine in the house is playing a lot of ball and catch. Quinn likes to set Luke and I up in a triangle and we toss the ball back and forth, or, when it comes to the golf ball or actual baseball, we roll it. The other week we got this incredibly sweet note from the neighbor that said she saw us playing as a family in the backyard and really loved that even when Quinn missed the baseball, we cheered and celebrated his efforts. What a cool validation.

Luke is doing really brilliantly with Quinn during the day. They are playing together so much and Luke has him excelling with meals. Plus, he's getting him to nap without having to lay down with him. While I do very much want Luke to find a job soon, I am glad that they have this time together, even if I am a tad envious. Still, my summer will soon be here and I have enjoyed more time with Quinn as a result of my work schedule from the time he was born. It is more than right that Luke should have these delicious moments with our son:)
