Well phooey! I hate we missed the fun at the park. Will's crazy dad FORGOT he told Will (yesterday, mind you) that he was coming and is now coming tomorrow. So I didn't even need to stay home and pick up :/
GREAT post! I particularly like the 72 times reminding him not to put it in his mouth!
Mandi - I hope he remembers to come today :) We had a good time but Henry did keep asking about Tripp.
Molly - thanks! I assume you know that reminder well....
