The early returns are in...

JT's early favorite in the birthday gift department appears to be the Duplo/lego farm set from Aunt Kathy. To clarify it is not the whole set, rather it's just the cows and the blue tractor and they have been going to bed with JT every evening since the 19th. The cows and tractor have caused more than their fair share of "Mine" fights between JT and Caroline (the little girl that Christina watches). I will either need to get a second set of Duplo cows or convert them to at home only toys to keep the peace.

Thank you to everyone for the great gifts and we will see how the gift front changes over time...

JT in some new videos

Here are a few new videos of JT taken on the Flip Mino over the previous weekend. The first two are of JT playing with his new train table. Although it's birthday present, we decided to give it to him early as we were hosting friends with children and were looking for extra distractions. Parenting side note: never give your child something awesome at 8PM and expect them to go to bed a 8:30PM; calamity will ensue..

Next we have a video of JT playing with Isabella, Delaney and Gavin in an inflatable pool. We had the Lake/Paladino clans down from Philadephia for a wonderful weekend which was further extended when Shawn stopped by for dinner. Filming was cut short due to water hazards created by the children, however a good time was had by all. The visit was great and JT enjoyed having other children invade his "crib".

Last is a short Video of JT opting for cookies over a real dinner. To my surprise Areti actually gave him a cookie before eating a real dinner, a rare event.
