Playing a bit of catch up here.  We tried the splash pads again.  That went grrrrreat.

I guess the splashing part of the pads caught him off guard.  But it was kinda worth it for this moment.

An end-of-summer BBQ at a friends’ house went much better.  There was a dog, so that helped.  A lot.  I want one!  Well, actually I’ll take any of the 3 pictured below – a dog, a fenced yard, or a pool.

We also had a quick trip to the L.A. Zoo.  Stevie enjoyed the fences most.  You read that right.  The fences. Not the animals behind the fences.  Just the fences in general.  He noticed maybe one or two animals.  But we ended the afternoon with a major, insane, ridiculous tantrum because I cut his time running up and down ramps a little short.  Good times.

I’m tired.
