Daddy's Helper

P was fixing a broken cabinet the other day, and he ended up getting a lot of help from A, who brought his toy tools into the kitchen to be just like daddy.  It was precious!

Things I Thought I Would Never Have to Say...

1. No, buddy. Your chicken nugget is not a football.

2. We eat the macaroni and cheese, not the bowl!

3. Why is there green playdoh in your nose?

4. I know jumping from the second stair to the floor sounds like fun, but you'll get hurt.

5. You can get down after you eat a few more Doritos.

6. You can drink your yogurt, but you can't drink your mac and cheese.

7. Sorry, buddy. You can not have any more vitamins. No, not even if you cry, you've had enough vitamins today.


Yep... I've uttered every one of those within the last 24 hours! I guess this is life with a 2 year old!

Prayers

Tonight, Aidan wanted to say the prayer before dinner. Here's what he wanted to thank God for (and yes... it was in this order):
Neigh Neigh (horses)
Baa Baa (sheep)
Noah (as in Noah and the Ark)
GaGa (Grandma)

That's life changing prayer right there! Grandma should feel honored for making the list!

2 Months Old

So I'm a little last posting the pic, but not to be left out, Baby C reached the 2 month milestone.  In some ways, I can't believe it's been two months already!  At the same time, I have already forgotten what life was like with only one child.  I can't imagine life without Baby C.  He's become such a "healthy" baby (that's the polite way of saying he's a chunk!!).  He weighed in at 14 lbs, 4 oz!  At this rate, he'll be out of his baby car seat (that's supposed to last a year) by the time he's 4 months old!  

He's learned how to smile, and between bouts of colic and acid reflux, he can be a really happy, smily baby.  My heart melts when he looks me straight in the eyes and gets a huge grin.  I guess that's the reward for the sleepless nights!  I love you, C!

Shaking His Sillies Out.  A put on quite the dance show as his friends were a little more shy.  I think they were intimidated by A's killer dance moves.

Reading one of his favorite books with his friends.

Playing with a parachute!

Playdough was a hit with all of the kids.

Making masks with crayons and stickers.
