Valentine
Happy Valentine's Day to my boys! We had a good day today. Jack spent the night with Grammy, so our morning started with a cup of coffee.....that didn't get cold....and wasn't chased after by a toddler. Perfect!
And a little of this from my Valentine!
Love, love, love him!
After picking up Jack and him not taking a nap....really...we took a family trip to Central Market, where it was CRAZY! Lots of folks getting special valentine things.
While Jack was not napping in the afternoon,
I whipped up a little something that had a little of this
a lot of this....
even more of this....
in this!
YUM!
Walked into find my non napper like this....
who had grabbed a little light reading from his bed side table. No wonder he couldn't sleep! He was pondering salvation!
We played at the park, headed home to indluge in the gourmet mac and cheese and am anticipating a glass of wine with my husband any minute now.
Blessed Valentine's Day!
What's Jack Saying?
I feel like people ask me frequently what Jack's saying these days....and I fumble around and come up with Mama and Dada, which he's been saying forever, because I haven't really sat down and thought out what he's saying!
So, you'll be my handy dandy notebook as I list off things I hear Jack say today.
Mama = Mama
Dada = Dada
Jus = Juice
Thin = Think
Vava = Vincent
Nahnah = Nattie
An Tat = Aunt Kat
Ma = Milk
Chee = Cheese
Bye = Bye
Pha = Please
St = Stick
Ba = Ball
Tak = Truck
This = This
That = That
Lyla = Lyla
Ba = Balloon
Tee = Three
Aaal Da = All Done
Ma = More
Ha = Hat
Wawa = Water
Souside = Outside
Buh = Blue
Ba = Balloon
Poopie = Puppy
The list of things he can identify is super long...so I'll spare you most of the details.
He still loves to use his Look and Learn ABC book to point out all kinds of things! We've been working on identifying the animals in there and I can't wait to take him to the zoo this spring. It's going to be so much more fun than last year! He'll actually care! In his book, he knows the tiger and does the cutest little roar when he sees it. I was teaching him the kangaroo, and said, "The kangaroo goes hop, hop, hop!" so now when he sees the kangaroo, he says, "Hop, hop, hop, hop!" CUTE! He also knows the zebra, elephant and the bunny. I can't wait for zoo weather!
Another snow day....
so I'll entertain you with some recent pictures.
I walked in the kitchen the other day and saw this cute little number.
There are very few times we actually wake Jack up, so it's rare that we see him sleeping! Yes, we check on him before we go to bed at night, but that's in the dark, and it's a struggle to differentiate between Monk's bottom and Jack's face....but here it is, sweet precious Jack, using Monk as a pillow!
My child won't TOUCH a veggie. Yes, I've tried different spices, yes, I've tried different ways of cooking, yes, I've tried peas, yes, I've tried carrots, yes, I've done it all. I mix up carrots in his macaroni and cheese, feed him yogurt with green beans on the bottom, and toss a zucchini in a muffin, but other than than, he's veggie-less. And I hate it. People, we've had a revolution!! No longer am I a mom who doesn't feed her kid any vegetables. For some reason, Jack will suck anything....ANYTHING out of one of these puree packs!!! So, yesterday for lunch? He had peas and spinach! The angels sang Hallelujah! And I win.
SNOW!!!
Last week, when it was 70 degrees and sunny outside, Jack was sick so we stayed home.
This week, when it's 10 degrees and icy outside, Jack is well....and we've stayed home.
Bad planning, Jack.
Can you say, cabin fever?
CABIN FEVER!!!
Today it snowed to cover up all the ice, so after breakfast with Monk....
we bundled up with as many layers we could find and went to explore the snowy wonderland of the backyard!
When we were about to freeze, we came in and stripped down our snowy clothes and indulged in the perfect winter lunch....grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup!
And last but not least, a little comparison.....
last year's February snow vs this year's February snow!
A little freshing up...
Once I get going, it's hard to stop.
After I finished the table, I looked around....and saw my bathroom.
My bathroom is small, but plenty big. It's the one room in the house that has baffled me. The color of the tile was stumping me as to what to do, but I've always hated the color. I made due with this floral curtain from Target, but I never really liked it and it was time for a change.
And so I got started!
I used the same color paint as I used on the table, made a new curtain from drapery fabric 75% off at Handcock's and re-covered my stool to match. A peony to replace the Lilly on the shelf, and we're good to go!
And look! It even all matches Jack's stool he got for Christmas!
At this point, nothing is safe. Wonder what will be next...
