This week at a glance: Playdates + Clubs + Babydolls

Anne and Kate hosted a playdate on Tuesday for the "KAML" Y fitness challenge team members. That would be Anne, Mary, Lucy and my self. Aston got to meet Julia and Sarah, Lucy's two girls...and hang with pals Kate and Lilly of course. Fun day...thanks Anne!

~Kate's loving touch...Sarah appreciates the gesture~

~On with the show already Addie!...quit the small talk!~

~Aston finally pouring the sand in the sand section...Lilly declaring the touch down!~

~Dad came home with new Tiger Woods "real-people" clubs for Aston~

~Love how he keeps his head down~

~and follows through~

~Later Dad...where's my cars?~

~Dad put a secret Jaguar in his new golf bag...the car was more of a hit:(~



I have heard more and more lately that I need to get a babydoll for Aston to aid in the baby 2 transition. The idea being he will have his own baby like Mommy has a new baby. I ended up purchasing a baby boy doll that pees after you feed him his bottle (like the old Betsy Westy dolls)...I figured that this could be a duel purpose babydoll...both as a potty training tool and for a baby brother/sister similator. He has taken to him quite well so far (calls him Henry because that's the name of the character in his potty book)...will keep you posted...all kisses now...we will see if that continues!

Big time clubs...wow! Love the babydoll picture. We used a doll like that for Miles. With Noah, I just pretended that his favorite guys were pee-ing (I'd pretend to give Elmo a drink, then I'd slip the cup behind the guy and pour it into the water). Noah was amazed...haha.
Aston is such a cutie...he'll be a great big brother!

oh my goodness. LOOVVE the baby picture. aww. and then addie running away over the clubs. bruce has seen the clubs and feel like he's kind of envious/thinking that maybe kate should have the same. And glad you captured kate hugging baby (showed bruce :))

p.s. feel like readers are confused about henry's roll? or really guess he could have a duel purpose.
