Hot Weather

The Bay Area was hit by sweltering heat over the past few days, prompting a Sever Weather Advisory in the afternoons. I was concerned about both kids, especially since it is usually difficult to keep Kyle inside, but he must have felt the heat as well, because he didn't protest much about the confinement. Fortunately, Kyle's godfather, Mike, invited us over to his parent's house in Millbrae to escape to a cooler micro climate and at their pool! Kyle wasn't too excited about going swimming, but he loved helping to cool Daddy down (completely his idea, I didn't even have to suggest it!) Kyle had a great time playing with another little boy who was there, who is 6 months his senior. It was amazing to get a glimpse of what our little boy will be like by Christmas, no more 2 word sentences like we have today, but real communication!

Today is thankfully MUCH cooler, and we have been enjoying having all of the windows in the house open to get fresh air circulating. Dave took advantage of the manageable temperatures to wash the car, and Kyle was more than willing to help out with a handful of bubbles.

After the hard work, it was time for a little fun, which involved working on his tricycle with a socket and adjustable wrench, as well as a little riding too. We bought this as a Christmas present, but it is really starting to catch on now, and he's even beginning to try pedaling. Hopefully this "cool" weather holds, and we are able to enjoy a lot more outside time with walks and rides to the park.
