Big Bro Soli

Meanwhile, Soli has grown up a lot lately. He's had a LOT of hair cut off (That was not fun!), his speech has suddenly developed to include more vocabulary and parts of speach, AND he's given up riding in the double buggy. You can see his new mode of transport here. One day he just decided he would accept the Buggy Board, and we've never looked back. I am thrilled about now being able to fit through most doorways and to have less soreness from pushing that wide, heavy, but for 9 months indespensible, double-wide pushchair. We say "Aalll abooooard! Hold on tight!" and off we go.

On the day this pic was taken, Soli looked outside to see that it was raining. Excitedly but earnestly he reported, "I need to splash! I need get my willies (Wellies = galoshes) on!" So on went the rain gear and, true to his word, Sol had a lot of splashing in puddles to do on the way to and from Deptford. He's very thorough about this task, so I'm grateful for waterproof trousers!
