2 Years, 6 Months, 3 Weeks, and 6 Days

Charlotte & Ruby are 2 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days old today. The weather was glorious over the weekend, so we made the most of it by going to the zoo for the first time since last November. Charlotte asks to use the potty chair throughout the day (she is inspired by their friend Ava who is in the midst of potty training now), but I am still not ready to do it full-time. We discovered that Ruby makes up her own songs to sing now, incorporating actual song lyrics and then changing it to describe whatever she is playing at the time. Enjoy the photos!

Bob pulls them around the zoo in our new wagon (which received many comments and questions since it is a folding wagon that fits in our car's trunk easily):

They both love to climb this contraption at the playground near the bear exhibit, and have now mastered it:

Ruby tries rock climbing:

Charlotte is extremely interested in everything that Jacob does (eating, sleeping, getting a diaper change, etc.) and likes to be up close to see it all:

Ruby still prefers to observe Jacob from afar:

Charlotte plays with a snail rocker:

Ruby studies one of the new paperback books:

Charlotte spelled "box" on the refrigerator one day after remembering it from an episode of Word World:

How Ruby watches TV during parts she does not like (not necessarily scary either):
