Busy days for a lil' guy

I rarely feel like weeks escape me, but this past week FLEW by. Ricardo has been extremely busy at work and Diego has been busy at play. He did well at school this week and was excited to go on Wednesday, which made me happy. On the days that he doesn't go to school I now make more of an effort to have a bit of structure to our day and to do fun things with him. On Tuesday morning we went to the library for the first time and would have had a better time if it hadn't been so close to his nap time. He did ok for a little while, but then was acting up a bit so we had to leave. We checked out a few books and I'm really looking forward to going back in order to get a better stock of books. There are so many other things that keep him busy around home that he hasn't been reading as much lately and I want to get that habit back. He also seems to think that there are more important things to be doing than eating so he hasn't been eating much either. We can't believe how quickly his rolls are fading from his arms and legs! We are hoping this is just a stage he's going through and will be back with a hefty appetite in a few weeks so he can maintain some of that baby chub that we all love.
Last Saturday we went to dinner at Jana, Kane and Mara Kate's house (good friends from church) and had a great time. Diego and Mara Kate had a BLAST playing together and were so silly. I took at least 10 pictures of them sitting on the couch and the one below is one of the only ones in which they're both smiling.

I found a great little gift for Diego last week and he loves it - a watering can just his size. He has always enjoyed helping Papi take care of the plants and used to fill up small tupperware containers with water to pour in the planters. Well now he has his very own watering can and can't get enough of it. I refilled it with water this afternoon at least 15 times!
