Summer's Return on Thursday, September 24

Our adventures this week were made more fun by the return of warm weather. Though today was just hot, sticky, and a little smelly, as we hosted playgroup at the Reston Zoo. Our playgroup now consists of five little boys, including me, and today we all loved lemurs especially (though on sight, I called out "raccoon" on account of the lemurs' bushy striped tails). In this picture, we laughed and banged on the fence to get the lemurs to jump around and call out to us. Also this week, I enjoyed another day at preschool but barely made it to the end of the school day. I had tears of exhaustion in my eyes when my mom picked me up. But, I proudly brought home my first finger painting! On Tuesday, we met our buddies Gabe and Lis for some shopping and bagels. And, on Wednesday, I attended the Tiny Tots nature program at Long Branch Park. I had a bit of trouble sitting for circle time on the carpet squares as we learned about spiders, but I was much more attentive and into our hike as we looked for crawly creatures. It did not take me long, instead, to find sticks and acorns. My mom gave me a Native American name: Boy Walks with Stick.
