Pictures from the week.

Do all kids carry TWO babies around?

Quinn had "sports" camp this week. They practiced soccer, basketball, t-ball, and football. Quinn wouldn't let me take any photos of him, but I sneaked in a few. He's in the bottom left here.

And in the right, here. He loved this camp!

This one is a couple weeks old. Moin took Quinn out to breakfast for his birthday, and the restaurant presented him with this cookie! This is how Q chose to pose.

Snacktime at the park. The Syed children all decided to wear pink together.

Penelope called Moin over the other day to show him something. He texted me this picture. Now, let me give you some context. Our bathtub has a "spout protector" that keeps the kids from hitting their heads on the water spout. It's in the shape of a duck. So what Penelope did here was recreate the bathtub. Can you see - the duck on the left and the baby in the tub on the right.

She recreated herself in the tub!

As some of you know, part of my dissertation involved examining children's ability to map from an object to a representation of that object. Much of this research is based off of Judy DeLoache's model room studies, in which she examines how children map from a life-sized room to a "scale model" of that room.

So I was so excited that Penelope made her own scale model! Excitement comes easily around here...
