Binbin informed me of one recent change: there are new blocks in the new (read Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick) library! They are *green* and they are rectangles. See!
And here, Binbin tosses a yellow one into the shopping cart. It's that yellowish blur in mid-air.
It wasn't easy on Binbin for Mama to be away for a week. Baba did a terrific job, though, and undoubtedly out-did Mama with trips to Cote's for ice cream. Since I came back on a Monday evening, it was hard the next couple of days going to daycare, but Binbin managed to keep it together until...Saturday! Blessed Saturday, when no one has to go to work.
This past Saturday, Binbin had a "first": His first ride on a horse! The moment was not captured on film (or in digital), but here he is in the stable with a horse named "Jack."
Binbin fed Jack and his equine partner Malachi about a dozen apples, and thus, quickly made friends. Malachi was especially friendly and gentle, constantly nuzzling Binbin and giving him kisses in his hair. Binbin squealed with delight and avidly reached out to pet both Jack and Malachi. The horses belonged to Natalie Rockwell (the midwife who delivered Binbin...probably the first person to hold Binbin), and she was impressed with how confident Binbin was with the horses.
Binbin was so excited that...he insisted that he did NOT need to use the potty. No accidents during this outing, but here is the visible result of having to hold it.
Binbin wasn't happy about leaving the horses behind, but we persuaded him to return home, where oodles of black raspberries needed to be picked in our backyard. Here is a snapshot of our yummy harvest. All other evidence has been eaten!
