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

Visiting some of the best people we know, we melted in the valley yesterday but it was so much fun and we even splashed in a pool for a bit!

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!

Aquarium Again and Again

The aquarium is ALWAYS a hit. I think we are getting our annual pass a run for it's money.

Today you went with 2 girls just about your age. The aquarium is so much more fun when you have friends to run around with. Snapped a few iphone photos. At the end of today you were SO tired. I wasn't surprised.

On another note, you now love sharks. For a while there you were scared of the scene in 'Finding Nemo' where Marlin meets Bruce. Now you kiss your Bruce shark good night, give him hugs and giggle as we make him attack Mommy and Daddy.

And again to let you know how much I love you, whenever you hug me I make sure that I am not the first to let go. I would hug you for hours if you wanted.

On Our Way...

On our way to the camping trip, Miles' little face was lit by the iphone. His little face was all I could see from the front seat.

Adventure!

With the icky weather this week, I wasn't feeling the park again so we went on an adventure! You loved it and I could barely keep up with you to snap these iphone photos. You were SO tired after this. I mean climbing up and down, around and then sliding for a solid hour and a half is a WORKOUT. You also had a snack after. Some moments more than others make me sit back and realize how old you are. It gets harder and harder. Sometimes it is when I go to change your diaper and you don't have the yummy rolls on your legs anymore or other times it is more like the images below, you sitting in a chair eating yogurt with a spoon all by yourself with making VERY LITTLE mess. Sigh, that went fast.
