Number one on the agenda was baby-proofing the house. Ultimately we ended up totally rearranging our first floor and were able to make an odd shaped space kid friendly while not looking like a nursery school. These shelves used to house books, etc. Now they've been converted to toy central.
Owen has also been preparing for the exciting transition to toddler-hood. On a recent outing to Kidz Wurld, essentially an indoor playground, Owen spent a lot of time crawling away from the sanctioned baby-area to watch the older kids run around.
He was also keyed into an essential rite of passage last weekend at his buddy's first birthday party - CAKE! Ever observant, Owen watched Micah tentatively play with his birthday cake. Maybe he was confused but I think he was taking it all in, planning his approach. We'll see...
Owen's party is scheduled for Saturday and we're keeping our fingers crossed that our out-of-town guests are able make it to Providence. As I type, a winter storm is headed for New England. It has the potential to be so bad that it's been named. Nemo. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll be this cute.
