2 Kids 1 Chair

Disappointed! I can't get these cute shots off my camera. So glad I took some with my iphone as backup. Maybe one day soon I will be able to get them. My compact flash card is on the fritz.

Miles' had a friend over for the afternoon. It was snack time. When I went back into the dining room with food, I find both kids crammed into the high chair. I served snack and they were so cute together. Eating and sharing food. Miles' friend came back the next afternoon to play and I wasn't shocked when I found them in the same situation again.

First Lollipop

You loved it. Shocker

Buckets

This morning you had a nice little meltdown. I had to wash your Dee-Tee and Turtle after you put them in the bath this morning. I asked you not to, you did it anyway. It happens.

So after that, I had you come with me as I put them in the washing machine. After this you went a bit off the handle. You spent about 30 minutes downstairs crying. I let you get it out. I told you when you were done we could go for a walk.

After a while, you crawled back up the stairs and wanted to play with the water. You spent the entire time filling up the multiple buckets and pouring them into each other.

Before nap, you went through some of your toys. You picked up your car and said "thank you maga" then the next "thank you papa" then you picked up your little frog "thank you daddy" Each item, the person you thanked GAVE it to you. I was a bit shocked. Your memory amazes me sometimes.

Zooy

Again with the Zoo. Today was the best visit yet. Early arrival had us flying solo for 1/2 of the trip. The cool morning had all the animals out moving around. We saw the hippo chomping down on some melon. You giggled at the sight. The tiger was making some crazy noises and the bears, jaguars and monkeys were all about. Oh we even got to see the tortoise's tongue. After he closed his mouth you said "more!"

Today was also full of please and thank you. I loved it. Swimming after nap. You were falling off the edge loving the feeling of falling.

Pool Time

Quick Note

Yesterday we went to the park. You wanted to play with this toy bus SO bad. I told you to ask if you could play with the toy. You did. I was smiling. After that I set some rules. If you wanted to play on the equipment you could, you just had to give the bus back. When you were ready to get back on the playground equipment, you handed the Mom the bus back.  You said and Signed "Thank You" and ran back over to the slide.

What ever chaos had happened that morning fell to the side. It is the little victories that I take such pride in. You said THANK YOU, gave up the toy without cries on your own accord and LISTENED to what I said. I could have paused that proud moment.

On a side note, my card reader is BROKEN. Sigh... so photos will be coming soon. An insightful post about how I am obsessed with my Son's hair. Yeah I am sure you are dying to read it. On top of that your 21 month post as well!

Daddy Sent Me

Daddy sent me these today as I was out most of it. They held me until I could hold you.

The Vet

Yesterday we took coco to the vet. She hasn't been her normal self. We were there for 2 hours and you were an angel the whole time. It was like you knew it was hard for coco and made it easy on Mommy. You kept busy with your toy sharks and watching a little Bolt on the phone. Coco left happy and we hopefully won't be back anytime soon.

Daddy home

Celebrate!!

Melting in the Valley

Sunny Tuesday

The June gloom finally broke today and we enjoyed it! Swimming today and playing in the water were on the list. Miles figured out the hose today and I figure every time we go outside I am going to get SOAKED. He took a spill on our evening walk so we will see how his face shapes up in the a.m. The picture below is really red, it isn't that bad in real life.

Mochi!

Miles loves his new neighbor Joshua and his dog Mochi. We stopped by to visit unexpectedly and found they weren't home. Miles could hear Mochi barking and was obsessed.

Hair and Muscles

Your hair is getting out of control. I love it though so we will see how long it gets. Your muscles are just as cute as always. You flexed on a playdate this week. I was dying because you looked too funny in your "Sheriff Woody" PJ bottoms and buff muscles.

Bedtime Story

Below is a quick bedtime story Mommy read to you the night we got back from the 4th of July camping. We were are wiped!
