These Days...

"WHO ME???"

"IF I SMILE, DO I STILL HAVE TO GET DOWN?"

My future "penny pincher" already!!!

These days it's all about...
PLAY!!! No one was kidding when they said boys will be boys. Not only does my Milby dig in the dirt, but Hayden bears his shovel and rake nearly every afternoon to our yard- what's soon to be left of our yard- I tried to tell him we laid that sod when I was pregnant with him, to be gentle! We love to be outside and H heads to the back door at every chance he gets, which I love. Yes, he is piling rocks into a Home Depot bucket and yes... that is a charcoal grill fire starter! After he tells you it's hot, he then proceeds to pick it up and cart it all over the yard! Milby just tromps along behind or darts off when H begins hitting him with his shovel- God love his patience! We "dress" up in our animal masks and romp around the house, head to the park every chance we get- where H usually has to scope out everyone and everything. We do play, but he is my little observer, soaking up everything around him! I "caught" him in his room yesterday while I was drying my hair- anyone who knows me also knows how long that takes me- and I knew he hadn't come back to the bathroom for a few minutes to "check in" as he does, so I glanced around the corner, to find him dumping coins on the floor, then putting them back in to his "bank" one-by-one! Daddy was proud! Speaking of Daddy, he was the one who caught H in the buffet table- yes- the buffet, how he got there I don't know... oh to be that limber... I was out for a run, guess that's what happens when the boys are left together- thank goodness I was only gone an hour! And, eating is always a scene, whether he has decided to "drink" his yogurt for breakfast or my favorite is at night when he sits in his "G-raffe" chair, from Annie, for his evening snack. And, finally we got him his own table and chairs, which if you can tell, he helped to put together. He LOVES his power tools- fits in perfect with my fam!!!!
At the end of the day I'm pooped for the most blessed reasons in the world- not only do I get to chase around this beautiful boy all day, but now I get to figure out how to chase TWO!!!!
