Nick's "half" birthday

Look who's three-and-a-half!

At Nick's preschool, the teachers celebrate the half-birthdays of kids who were born during summer months so they don't feel left out. Thus the past few weeks have been cupcake-Palooza in The Rocks class. Here's Nick polishing off one of the chocolate-frosted creations we had baked the day before. (I sampled way too many of them.)

Nick's teacher, Ms. Systsma sent us the following photos of Nick in action.
