New stuff!

No we didn't get a new drum set, but we did go play at our neighbor's house this afternoon. John, a little boy who is 5, lives a couple houses down with his two little sisters so I'm sure he was glad to have another boy to play with. Chris enjoyed checking out their toys including this fabulous drum set. He took it very seriously! Here he is playing a song...

Chris had a ton of fun over at John's (as well as with his friend, Nate, from school and a surprise visit from Daddy for lunch!). When we got home, there was a surprise on our doorstep-- Christopher's first big boy booster seat!  He wanted to try it out in the living room before we put it in the car...

I think it suits him well! And attention all grandmas, we will test this seat out for awhile before getting you your own seats for your respective cars. This seat symbolizes freedom for us when we travel--yay! No more lugging the 25 pound carseat through the airport and no more spending time installing the stinkin' carseat after flying for hours. Woohoo! Even better: the car seat=$250, the booster=$40.
