Life with this boy is so much fun!!!
...plus who can deny he is one cute boy?!
I wanted to take a moment and capture the fun of life with this little one right now. You don't get these days back and I'd hate to ever forget the clever things he says & does as he is discovering his world. This morning I went in to wake up my big kid for school. A moment later I heard a little voice saying something like, "You have to come wake me up mom!" It wasn't a preschool day for him, but apparently he needed a little love and attention from his mom this morning.
A couple of months ago we took the boys to the Water Conservatory because they were releasing a bunch of butterflies into the sky. It was a fun event. We tried to get our oldest to get a pic with Spiderman, but he was adamant that he did not want to do it. This little one was more than willing to get his pic taken with him.
It may be hard to tell, but he had just got into some chocolate without asking and had this great idea to hide under the table...I think he figured I wouldn't catch him under there. He has since taken to sneaking food and eating it under his blanket. I swear though we do feed him.
Two fingers represents his second year in preschool.
We have been so blessed to get help with his speech delay through the district preschool.
See all the great words he can say. Thanks to an episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
he learned the word Frustrated and used it very well in context.
He LOVES his dog.
I am so thankful that my kids have a ready made friend
who is always eager and willing to play with them.
He will frequently head out the door and tell me his dog wants to play with him!
A few Sunday's ago Kent had this great idea to spike his hair up like a flat top.
We had no idea how much he looked like Lewis from Meet the Robinson's until we did this. Now Kent tries every Sunday to convince him to wear his hair this way, but this kid likes his hair down!
About a month ago I woke up to this mess in my freezer. It's what happens to raspberry sherbet when melted. I was quite stressed thinking that we would have to find the money for a new fridge while working on paying for a baby. Turns out there are controls in the fridge that had been turned up so nothing was freezing anymore. My little one did a good job helping me clean the mess he caused and hopefully will not want to touch those controls again.
He is the sweetest boy ever. He LOVES to pick flowers to bring into his mom. Turns out this beautiful weed was growing in the yard and he decided to pick it for his mom. You can see the pride written all over his little face!
The other day I was scrolling through Facebook with him on my lap and this ad popped up on my screen...
...my son saw this photo and said, "That girl turned into a dad???" I suppose in his mind only boys have abs like that. I'm sure he figured that out from his dad's washboard stomach. *wink, wink*
A few days later a friend was over and I was overhearing their little conversation. This picture, though slightly unclear here, sits on my bookshelf and as my little one walked by it he announced to his friend that "his mom and dad live in a cave!" Maybe we should dress as cavemen for Halloween. lol
The other night I took the boys to what we call Castle Park.
They love playing at this park!
He made me laugh as we were decorating for Halloween. The boys pulled out the Halloween costumes and while I told him that these were dad's scary gloves for his hands my little one was sure they were supposed to go on his feet. Today when he wanted to see his dinosaur picture I realized that they do look like dinosaur feet. Clever boy!
He even wanted to wear dad's scary mask that he was terrified of before.
He was so proud of himself the other day that he had built his train track all by himself.
When I complimented him on making a heart he wanted to take a picture with it.
I'm pretty sure he built this as a monument of his love for his momma. ;)
He's always putting on my blades and trying to skate.
I'm amazed at his desire to conquer difficult things.
There is nothing that can stop this boy.
Today we were reading the book "Go, Dogs, Go!" He was talking about the little dog jumping rope in this picture. He was looking for his mom and then decided that his mom wasn't at the dog party she was home. He decided that the dog was just there with his dad and the mom was at home, but as he was scanning for the dogs mom he saw this dog on the other side of the page...
...he pointed to this dog and informed me that this dog is his uncle. As I got looking at the dogs they were the only spotted dogs on the page. The thought process this boy has amazes me. I had no idea the joys that would come in watching my children grow and discover their world.
I am so thankful that I have been blessed to be the mother of these children!
