Nicholas said, "That's 100 cool!" I guess he meant 100 percent cool :) Of course, we had to bring it inside to measure it and Nicholas was amazed to see that it was longer than his new 12 inch ruler!
It was a very pretty leaf but it is sad because that particular tree is dying and Stuart is planning to remove it this weekend. I guess it's heard the news and is trying to impress up with a swan song. I explained the swan song reference to Nicholas and he loved how I acted it out for him. He loved it so much that he made me repeat it over and over and over...
This afternoon we went to our local library for a puppet show. It was based on Jack and the Beanstalk but adapted for especially for Texans so he had pinto beans! It was really cute. Nicholas was so impressed with it that he sat still for the whole hour. Can you make out his little blond head and red shirt in the crowd? Afterwards, we went up to the front to meet the puppeteer and get a closer look at the puppets.
For dessert tonight we had chocolate eclairs. Nicholas enjoyed eating his as much as he enjoyed squishing it through his fingers. We really try to teach good table manners to the boy but sometimes you just have to let boys be boys!
