This is summer.

We're experiencing a heat wave here in DC, just like everyone else in the country, it seems. Last week presented highs of 105 heat index and there's no end in sight––seriously, the steering wheel of my car actually burned to the touch and that was at 6pm!! Nevertheless, in between friends from out of town visiting us, we've been trying to keep up with summer, picking blueberries, staying cool with splash fountains, planting herbs, dining alfresco at a Spanish tapas restaurant, and introducing Max to Ethiopian food. Eating without those silly things called utensils, you can imagine, was a big hit with my little man-child.

You should have seen the look on his face, when I told him he could eat them, too! This pretty much cancelled out every Bad Mum-ma instance when I tell him he can't eat stuff off the floor. Big eyes, even bigger stomach, let's just say.
