But, there's been time for play too.
Mercer and I have checked out a couple of different playgrounds lately as the weather is getting nicer. A dare-devil has emerged - no doubt. Going down BIG slides all by himself (after watching another / older kid doing it) and climbing up metal and rope ladders with a little bit of help on those. 
Note - this big slide is 10' tall!! This past weekend, it wsa rainy and cold, so we didn't got to an outdoor playground. Instead, we went to the Georgia Aquarium while Todd was out of town... sort-of like an underwater playground with fish! He did really well this trip.
Tonight, we went to another indoor playground -- we went to Chuck-E-Cheeses. His daycare was having a fund-raiser. I haven't been to C-E-C since my 21st birthday down in Savannah. 
I was really excited to take him for the first time. We think he enjoyed himself, but it's definitely lost some of it's allure for Todd and me since we visited the one in the "low-country." 
The pics here are taken in the little kid's section. But, he wanted to play some of the games in the big kid's section too. 
It was pretty amazing how quickly he got the hang of some of the games by watching us or watching other kids. One thing that was cute: how he got excited when he saw his classmates in a non-school setting.Other things he's picking up on quickly: he knows what a stop sign is and when we get to them, he yells "STOP." He says "this is a floor, this is a wall," pointing to them as he shows off his new phrases. Todd taught him where the ceiling was too, but he'll say that one occasionally. There are other things he's saying -- and it's amazing to watch how rapid his development is.
He put on a shoe by himself (on the wrong foot, of course). He also fed the cat some of his food for the first time... he was sharing. I'm sure that he will do both of these again and again! Good times.
