saturday morning we had some new carpet installed, so jack got to go have a special breakfast out with nana while mommy and daddy (and grandad and dudley!!) wrestled with the couch, fussed with the closet doors, pulled cable and inspected the new carpet. it turned out great -- a malty "swedish rye" color. meanwhile ... jack was eating french brioche (ooo la la)
"do i have to say 'brioche'?"
when they returned home, we sent our turkish delights of carpet installers packing and jack showed off his golf skills for grandad. it's amazing. he whiffs less than mommy ... but that's not saying much. the conclusion of his maternal grandparents: hand eye coordination has definitely improved with this generation. thanks, daddy, for the country club sports genes!
"watch this: 1 - 2 - 3!!!"
"i want more golf ball!"
jack also enjoyed sitting in grandad's old vw rabbit. then we realized that the car's old enough, and he's smart enough ... that he could probably get the thing hot wired within 5 more minutes ...
so instead he and nana headed to the park while we finished tidying up around the house.
run, forest, run!
after a full morning, jack was pleased (as were his parents) to take a 2.5 hour nap. he never sleeps that long! it was both elating and vexing. but he rewarded us with a nice afternoon, including neighborhood walks and a pleasant evening routine.
on sunday, jack and mommy headed out to the national zoo before it got too hot. we saw lots of animals, but the main attraction for jack was the cooling sprinklers they had misting the walkways from above. he also insisted on running through the zoo while pushing his stroller. note to self ... next time mommy rides and jack pushes!
we returned to find daddy having done lots of yard work. sadly jack fell asleep in the car for the last 10 minutes of the ride home and did not nap. apparently saturday's 2.5 hour nap was intended to get him through the entire weekend. ah well. he and daddy headed out to play in the park and walk around the neighborhood and he was as energized as ever.
it was a nice ... and all too short ... weekend. we look ahead to next weekend -- jack's 2nd birthday party! and the great part? since mommy didn't blog until wednesday ... we're already halfway there!
