Forster comes to visit

John's good friend, Brian Forster, came to visit recently. Forster was in Vegas on bachelor business and was able to take a couple days off for a Bay Area swing by as well. We had a great time, hit up Santa Cruz, played some poker, and even golfed at Poppy Hills on a gorgeous spring day!

Potty shot!

This post is a few weeks old, but it is momentous enough to share here. Cassie sat on her potty and made a poop for the first time! Granted, she stood up afterwards to see what happened and was so startled that she immediately started crying hysterically, but it's a start!

Jump-O-Lene

Cassie made out like a bandit over Christmas, but one of the items that she didn't get to play with until a few days later when it finally got setup was the Jump-O-Lene. It's this big inflatable circle with inflatable walls for jumping. Just like her trampoline, Cassie loves jumping and flopping on it. She's gotten good enough now where she can get in and out safely on her own too!

Sick days at home with daddy

As with all kids, and especially kids in daycare, Cassie gets sick a fair amount. Because Carrie only works part time and John has a pretty flexible schedule, if somebody has to stay home from work - it's usually John. It's not so bad really. We generally spend the day curled up on the catch watching TV. Kind of like vacation.

Bath time!

Cassie has been a water baby since she was really little. She immediately took to the pool in the new house, and she really enjoys taking baths. She's now starting to be able to help wash herself and understands enough where we can tell her to close her eyes when rinsing her hair. Far fewer soapy eyes!
