Carlito and I celebrated July 4th in Philadelphia as Carlos suffered through work deadlines and house construction errands in DC. Guess who had the better weekend?! Carlito got to hang out with his cousin Wallis (20 months) and his new cousin Eli (2 months). Wallis was fun for him to watch, but for her Carlito was kindof a terror. While she would delicately and correctly play with toys, he would charge up to her and grab anything he could - often stealing her toys. He also got to see his uncles and aunts and loved walking around the kitchen working on unloading kitchen drawers as the big people made dinner.
We went to my old highschool Germantown Academy to play some tennis inspired by the 16-14 game absurdity of Wimbledon and then he ended up walking all the way around the track by himself. One lap must have been more than a 1/4 mile as he is terrible about staying in his lane. We were trying to figure out how far that must have felt for him and based on his 3" stride we figure that it was about 2 miles! 
After a great weekend I had a hectic day with a last minute work event and no child care. That's a nightmare. Luckily the yoga ladies are the best and all volunteered to take on the Carlito challenge. Here is how Kathleen described it: "Good fun --- dancing, sharing, sympathy, crying, jealousy -- the works!" I think the pictures show it all:
