In the News......

Jonathan Edson, 14 months, of Batavia plays with the Florida piece of the giant United States puzzle Saturday at ECO-Fest. The map was brought by the NY Geographic Alliance, whose aim is to help children learn the geography of the country. (Mark Gutman/Daily News)

The Daily News go there and click on Ecofest...there are more pics of him in the photo gallery

Jonathan was in the news paper today!!! Yeah! Andrew was a little bent out of shape about this but knows he's been in it many times. Really its not that easy to be in the paper. It does help I know both photographers and both of them are hams.

A Little PLay time Before we Left

Andrew was still disappointed that the slide wasn't open he was sullking a bit.

This one needed a nap in the worst way...... But he got to climb a bit a favorite hobby

Up in the bubble

But I Don"t Want to Go!!!!

He was fine getting out and taking a shower but was not happy when I undressed him. He was turning purple and his teeth were chattering but that don't mean anything mom!

Swimming

Yesterday we went swimming too at the Y but not this one. I like this one as below you can see Jonathan standing up. This one has zeron entry which means he can walk in himself and there are shallow parts were he can walk around without me holding him up. This saves alot of fighting as he likes to do things on his own. Andrew was disappointed as they didn't open the water slide (blue thing on the left) as he was looking forward to going down it.

Share!!!

I made Pancakes this morning. Poor Andrew had to share as I got Jonathan's ready for him

Ahhh My own pancakes!!! But there's something about sharing with my brother

Tumbling Time!!

A favorite for Jonathan, running and tumbling..

Ohhh balls! Some were weighted and he loved picking them up.
We also went swimming before coming home to rest!

Climbing!!

Time for a little rock wall climbing! Although Andrew did well at this he was hindered by his fear of heights. This from the kid that goes on the roof of his huge slide in the back yard. Oh well, he had fun!

Healthy Kids at the YMCA!

If that wasn't enough excitement we went to the Y for a day of play. I got to drop Jonathan off to play in the infant room (someone was watching him) and see Andrew having fun bouncing!!

More Action...

In the student union they were playing ping pong and Andrew joined in...

Baby chicks!!! Both of them loved touching them!!

Fun Activities

Anything with water is a big hit!!! This you sprayed water on and it showed if oil s pilled and fertilizer how it spread

Speaking of big hits....Jonathan liked the drum!!

The Map

I know I got one of the 2 of them on it last year....and they both had fun playing with it this year.

The little ham...... He was showing off rolling around and laughing with all of the states!! The guy from the newspaper was taking pictures of him so he might be in the paper instead of Andrew...now there's a change!!!

ECOFEST at the College

Do a starter butterfly garden with seeds

Learning about solar power!

The Sand and Water Table...

There's no water yet as its still early to be playing outside with water yet.....the sand might not last that long with Jonathan playing in it and mostly dumping it on himself

I really haven't had it set up in a while as I thought Andrew was getting to the point he didn't care...but with a buddy its all fun again

Somedays the Teddybear Gets all the Hugs!!

Having Spaghetti!!!

MMMM Noodles!!!
