Building a Snowman with Papa

Friday, March 14, 2008

Frosty the Snowman...With two cupcake eyes and a cucumber mouth; we were lacking in the coal and carrot department so plastic food from the play kitchen will have to work.

We have been paying extra attention to Parker since his little brother arrived. Do special things or projects to be sure he doesn't feel ignored. One thing he loves doing is going for wagon or sled rides with Papa Milo. Yesterday Papa came over and they built a snowman together. Parker has been saying good morning and good night to it! Even talks to it from the dinner table. I wonder how he is going feel when frosty melts?!

Two 2 year olds and a baby!

Last weekend, Carrie, my friend and roommate from college came up for a visit...her daughter Kalea just turned 2 in February. Wow did these two 2 year olds have fun together. Of course there were the moments of mischief, sharing, playing, laughing, not napping, etc...but they became fast friends. It was a great weekend for the moms too. We stayed up way too late talking and drinking wine!

I didn't really like those dried hydrangeas anymore anyways...glad the kids had fun with them. Bonus-daddy vacuumed up all those little petals too!

Having fun in the tub together!

Sharing the sit and spin together-and falling off to make each other laugh hysterically.

The 2 Year Old has figured this out...

My 2 year old has this new baby thing all figured out. He soon realized that when mommy is feeding Emmitt, he is out of my reach and apparently "hearing zone" and feels that he can do whatever he wants. He knows about how much time he has to get the job done too! He also knows how long to wait to begin whatever mischief he has planned. He basically lets me get settled in my rocking chair and then a minute later-he's off! This is what he did to the brand new roll of paper towels...after unrolling them all, he then sang himself a song, played "I seed you mommy" with the tube and built himself a paper towel "house" on the dining room table!

His other new favorite is pushing a kitchen chair to the counters and sink to play with the water, the scrub brush, rag...when we get in there to scold him-he always says that he wants to wash his hands! I think he knows that I won't tell him he can't wash his hands...little smarty!
