Simon and the park

This weekend I took Simon to charleston to visit my parents. We left daddy behind. 

One of the things we did was go to the park. He went down some slides (with help), rode a metal dolphin rocker and played on the swings.

Here are some pictures of him on the swings:

Such a big boy!

There was another boy who sat in the swing next to Simon. From that moment on Simon wanted nothing to do with me.

Proof:

How do we know what we know?

There is a friendly debate in the education world regarding how we know what we know. Do we already know everything and teachers just pull everything out of us (see Latin background to the word educate, specifically duco)? Or do we not know anything and the teacher tells or "feeds" us the information?

Well it appears Simon has some thoughts on this subject:

We kept asking him if it tasted good...we are still waiting on an answer :)

Simon's new trick!

Yup he is sucking his thumb! Still takes the pacifier but his father is happy that he has found his thumb.

I haven't forgotten about the blog just haven't had a chance to update. I will try to do better this week
