Sandbox away from home

This is Cafe au Play, Rowan's favorite hangout spot. We were killing time while our newly cleaned carpet dried. So surprising that he likes a place with an awesome sandbox.

It's funny that you have to pay a security deposit to have a cat, but not a child. These hands have definitely contributed to the grimy carpet.

Checking out the playhouse at the cafe.

His first ugly injury happened this week. It had something to do with the coat closet door, but we're not sure exactly how he did that.

Our sunflowers are so big!

Steamy day in the sandbox

Scooter, doing his thing at our homemade water park for 100 degree day and a typical daily vacuum session. I started filming after his most excitable phase...

Ahh, summer

Rowan's kitchen make-over 

A toddler definitely lives here

Sand and berries

Alberta Street fair

A break from the sun of the fair, the whole world is a sandbox.

First Voo-Doo Doughnut

Sweaty baby

He's getting crafty! He's putting magnets in Wally's bed, now that he figured out what the stool is actually for. Stool has been removed from the kitchen...until he figures out that he can move it where he wants to.

Nap hour bed training is working most of the time.

20 minutes in the shaded sandbox gets him this red and sweaty! Right to the tub we go to rinse off.

Diaper sand, the tip of the iceberg...

He just rode into the house in the laundry basket, fresh off the line. You may be wondering why he is so often naked in the blog. He's thrown in the tub often for a quick rinse; after a sweaty sand session, after an ugly diaper, just a plain cool down when his head is wet and he smells like a puppy.
