April 24

This is a barn-burning day. First, we had lots more hat wearing. While there is only one red ski hat with penguins, Nicholas is very resourceful and is happy to wear Mama Kate's winter hat even though it makes him look like an old lady at the Kentucky Derby. It is a hat and that is all he cares about (he doesn't even mind my runon sentences). They haven't really figured out how to work those trikes yet either.


And then, as if the day couldn't get any better -- what with all the trike riding and hat wearing -- the ice cream truck came by. You have to defend against Cheddar, though. She likes cold stuff (she got some ice cubes and was totally happy).
