A few Lessons Learned at the Beach

How do you sum up 10 days of fun at the beach? Well, we learned many lessons while we were away.

Lesson 1: Taffe LOVES the beach. His initial wariness wore off and he is back to his running full steam ahead into the ocean!







Lesson 2: Kingston LOVES the porch swing. He spent hours out there, and even took a nap outside too!

Lesson 3: Taffe has been listening! After months of music classes and singing to him, he has broken out of his shell and sings quite well! We spent lots of time swinging and singing. My favorite Taffe song is a medley of ABC, Trot to Grandma's with an ending of "all through the toooownnnnnnn!" Wheels on the Bus finds it's way into every song.



Lesson 4: Besides the obvious reason of a safe jumping place, the trampoline is a great tool for learning to count! Taffe would count to get Kingston off the trampoline, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3... Kingston's turn all done! MY turn!!"

He also loved when we would count his jumps. My favorite: "One, two, three, chicken nuggets, JUMP!"


Lesson 5: Grandma and Grandpa never say no to Taffe... especially when it comes to treats! He made cookies with blue icing and red sprinkles.


...and he had ice cream. Strawberry and vanilla were the favorites!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for a great week! We had a blast!!!!
