Drawing & Talking

Ben, even though you are not even 2 yet, you love to draw and tell people about the pictures. Nate, you love to talk about your interests...today it was Ben10 and his Omnitrix (although you got annoyed at Mom for confusing Ben10 with your brother Ben).

5 dangerous things I hope you'll do

I thought this Tinkering School website and lecture would be good to keep in mind. Dad

Off to the zoo

Cold & cloudy, but the Turtle Back Zoo never disappoints.

Mom & books still rule

After all the tractors, trucks, blocks, movies and superheroes, its endearing to see that reading a book with Mom is still your favorite activity.
