Although Cole would definitely have preferred to have played outside this afternoon, he enjoyed opening up his birthday gifts and playing with them (with a lot of help from Franny).  He really enjoyed assembling and decorating these gliders.  They are designed to be thrown-- fortunately (for me), he has been content to just race around with them in his hands.  And, fortunately (for him), he has no shortage of imagination to make up the most involved airplane games!  I love that about him.
