Valentine's Day

A week later - a post about our Valentine's Day fun. I hope everyone's day started as early as ours did at 6:30am. Justin is showing off his new spin toy. My Mamaw, who recently passed away, had a toy like this at her house. In fact there's a photo of her and Justin while he plays with it. So I had to get this toy to remind both of us of sweet Mamaw.

This sucker lights up!

After homemade pancakes and omelets, we headed off to the train at the zoo. Hermann Park is starting to look different. The train now makes stops along the way on its new route. The playground and spray park area along the track is new and lots of fun. Have to add that to our list of things to do this summer.

We then went to the Children's Museum. the toddler are and part of the museum inside is still under construction. But as always there were lots of fun things to do there. There was an entire exhibit with golfballs - right up this little boy's alley.

And then there's the water are outside. I had heard about this but had not seen it. We literally had to pull Justin away when it was time to leave.

He played and played and got soaking wet. There's even a small playground area, wildlife preserve, and lots and lots of water fun.

We finished off at the puppet show. Justin decided to be the frog. Wendi - this photo is for you.

This little boy is wet, pooped, and ready for a nap.

After the nap, Justin went with his father to pick out something for Mommy. Apparently he chose everything - including the Diego card that I received. He doesn't even know who Diego is.

Justin took this photo - didn't quite capture the first "reasonable" flower bouquet he pointed to. But he did put the limes in the vase like he's seen me do for flower arrangements that I make for new mommies in the hospital.

Derek said he had a blast with Justin and teaching him how to treat a lady, starting with his mother. Til next year...
