On this day we took a class at Mission Trails Regional Park with Little A’s cousins and Ani. We learned a lot about our backyard bandits like the opposum, skunk, and racoon. Did you know that the opposum has a double uterus and double vagina and that the male has a forked penis? She can have up to twenty-six babies in all, thirteen in each uterus. Crazy, huh?
After the class we ventured out onto the trail looking for tracks and scat. Then, we made a fun craft together–an opposum.
I wish Little A wasn’t closing his eyes in this photo but it’s still so cute to see him hugging his cousin Madison.
I confess I didn’t take a single shot on this day so I’m posting one from a few days prior when Little A and I went on a nature walk together. His “Feed Me” shirt cracks me up as it fits him to a tee!
On this day Little A and I went for a little walk exploring the boardwalk along the San Diego River. It was a nice day to be outside, especially when you’re with someone who finds acorns, sticks, and bugs so cool. All things in nature are new and cool again!
Today we spent a couple hours at the neighborhood park where Little A made friends with a cute little girl. He’s super friendly. He went right up to her and gave her a hug and they were friends right then and there.
On this day, we went to a Middle Eastern market with Little A’s aunt and cousin Nautas. Here they are in the shopping cart. Nautas is giving him a big kiss on his head…too cute! I bought some baklava and lavosh bread – yum!
Today the sun was shining again, the weather was sweet and all was well again in my life. I love the sunshine! In the afternoon we decided to take everyone out to explore a nearby canyon trail right up the street from our house. The hubby was in charge of Miles, our dog, and I was in charge of Little A. It was a nice little walk, although it was pretty muddy. At one point it got so muddy we made the executive decision to turn around. I was imagining Little A doing a face plant right in the mud and I didn’t want to deal with cleaning him all up.
