We're Diggin the Park

Carter is just about big enough that he can go to the park and climb/slide by himself now. This is apparent as I hear him saying "I do it" more and more now signalling that he wants to try something on his own. It's the toddler Independence I have heard so much about. While finding that fine line between a good parent and an overprotective parent is difficult, I think that Carter is growing more and more each day.

On another note, we have an appointment with the children's Ear Nose and Throat surgeon on Monday to gain information about Carter's ear pinning surgery. We have decided to hear what the surgeon has to say and then make up our minds as to when/if he will have the surgery at all. Knowledge is power I guess, right? I certainly could use the power these days.

Maritime Festival in Port Washington

We took Carter up to Port Washington for the Maritime Festival. He seems to be a typical boy in that he loves just about anything that moves. The weather was nice and they had a few large sailboats docked for people to view. We didn't go onto the boats as the lines were extremely long, but we did sit back and look at them from a distance. Just another nice day on the lake. Here are some pictures of our day.
