Wordless Wednesdays- Belly shot 17 weeks

What it takes

While up at my parents cabin a few weeks ago my Mom picked up my camera and took a few pictures of me getting the little man dresses.

This is what it takes to get the little man dressed each morning.

It all starts the night before with convincing the little man to get his pajamas on. Just so in the morning you can start you day by convincing him that he wants them off and cloths on. It is a vicious cycle.


Once you got the pajamas off you than have to chase and catch the little man.


If you start with the shirt it is a little easier sometimes.


Than it is time to move onto the underwear and pants.


Take a little pit stop to kiss the boo boo that he got from trying to get away from me.


Stand him up and pill up and zip the pants.


Next you have him sit on your lap so that the socks can go on.


Than wipe the sweat off you brow because he is dressed for now.

Its so easy...

A few weeks ago we told the little man that his uncle is on TV. This is not totally true. There is just someone on TV that looks like him. Here is the whole story.

I have a brother that I dont see very often and that the little man has only meet once. During that one meeting the little man grew very fond of him.


The little man and his uncle Doug in January 2009.

So since he does not get to see him very much we told him that the caveman on the Geico Advertisements is Uncle Doug.



You have got to admit it, they do look a lot alike.

I wrote this post out of love not hate.

Like a kid in a candy store... music store

Yesterday our family took a little trip to our local music store. The little man could not believe his eyes. I dont know if it was because he had just woke up from his nap or if he was just in shock. He was even more excited when we told him that he could play the drums.



After looking at all the drums we went over to the guitars. He was not able to play any of them but he had fun looking at all the colors, Yellow was his favorite.

We might just have to take a trip to the music store more often than just when we need some new drum sticks. Until next time.

Wordless Wednesdays

Enjoying the last "summer like" September days.

Mr. Creative

What do you get when you mix a two year old, a wonderful September day, a melon baller, and a tub of bubbles?

You get Mr. Creative who decided all on his own that he was going to use the melon baller he found while exploring my cabinets, to blow bubbles.

Here is how it works.
First you get your bubbles. Than the melon baller.

Get some soap on the end.

Than blow.

What will he come up with next?

Not me Mondays

Where to start.

Yesterday the little man did not go to church in the same underwear that he wore the day before nor did we get out of the car in the driveway to pee because I had forgot to ask him if he needed to go before he got in the car. He also did not spend most of the afternoon half naked because I felt bad about the whole same underwear thing but not bad enough to have him dirty up a clean pair.

Also while cleaning my bedroom, that did not need to be cleaned, I did not open up the shelf that we have had for a few months that I thought was empty to find all of my stash of diapers in there that I have been looking for since I found out I expecting another baby. I did not then fill the shelf with all of my fabric that was laying around our bedroom, shut the doors and called the room clean.

Today I did not run out of toilet paper and I did not have to use a cloth wipe to get my self clean. I also did not skip out on house work to take the little man to a play date.

I will leave you with this picture that I did not take this morning when we were both still half a sleep and still in our pajamas.

No that is not the little mans name tag still on his shirt from church. Who would let there child sleep with stickers?
