This week Niko declared, “I can swim, all…by…myself.” And sure enough, he could.

Diving board jumping with some help from a bubble, and auntie Meg.

We got to climb on the Darien fire department fire trucks this weekend. Apparently this excitement was so exausting that when I took the boy to dinner, he fell asleep in the booth. We also got new neighbors with a little girl Niko’s age. Good for the boy, good for us, dancing all around. Plus we did some wall jumping. Because you know, that is what they are for. Jumping.

Morning father/son trip to the donut shop.

Jul managed to catch Niko mid-jump…

Fun with long hair.

No oil yet.

Niko and Elsie are playing family. Elsie is the baby right now. Niko just complained to me that the baby wasn’t listening.

“Dad, the baby [Elsie] isn’t listening. I want her to go to bed, but she won’t listen to me. I tried to put her in a time-out but she was hiding in the closet and wouldn’t listen.”

Welcome to my world kid.
