Tristin and Isabella: Picnic at Alamo

One of the BEST things we did last weekend was have a spontaneous picnic at Alamo Square Park. It's been ages since we've been there and daddy had the most amazing idea to pick up some fried chicken and hang out at the park for a few hours, playing with Tristin. It was probably the one of the best things we've done in a long time. Its amazing how such little things can bring so much joy but with the sun shining, the sky beaming its beautiful blue and Tristin frolicking around the grass, we couldn't have asked for a better few hours to spend together. It rejuvenated our spirits and made us so incredibly excited and satisfied about last weekend's outings.

As for Tristin, he LOVED it. He was running around the grass (and sometimes a bit hard when he saw a dog) and climbing all over daddy. He would give mommy and daddy hugs and kisses, eat a bit of the fried chicken and go running around again.

These days, T's favorite word is "no". It doesn't matter what you ask him, his first response (unless you insert the word "barney", "elmo", "wiggles" or "pipo") is usually "NO!". And not just anykind of "no". It's a passionate, firm, how-many-times-do-I-have-to-tell-you-my-answer-is-NO! C and I think its the funniest thing and love to ask him random questions just to hear him say yell his passionate "no"s. We're likely, I'm sure, starting a bad habit but we can't help but giggle every time he does it.
