Barefoot in the Backyard

 

 

The number one thing that we looked at when finding a new place to live was that it MUST have a fenced in backyard. What a fantastic choice! Though the boys are too young for Momma to simply say “Go play in the backyard,” Momma and Daddy can do yard work, enjoy a drink, or tend to the vegetable garden while the boys play with their outdoor toys. We don’t worry too much about shoes out back, but partially because since Momma prefers to be barefoot, it might be hypocritical.

A Big Boy

  

  

Now that we’ve been getting the Boy’s room ready to share, some of the old toys have been coming out and the Boy has been exploring them. This has provided Momma the opportunity to take some wonderful contrast and compare photos. Such nostalgia!

And Not a Creature was Stirring…

 

Except a small little boy who got into the dark chocolate kisses in Momma’s stocking! That’s okay. Everyone gets to sneak kisses on Christmas!!

Forks A Million

The Boy LOVES forks. He’s become proficient enough that he insists on having a fork at every meal, and sometimes, more than one. Here, he climbed onto the table while Momma & Daddy were cleaning up, grabbing all the forks he could find, and then slide back into his seat. Who knew silverware could make a boy so happy?

Meanest Momma in the World

The Boy is quite convinced that he has the meanest momma and daddy in all the world. Momma is does not ley ukmkn,  .; /; <--- this is the Boy telling you his woes first hand, which loosely translates to “let me eat cherry pits I find on the ground.” Momma also doesn’t let him stand up in his high chair, eat trash on the beach, or drink Diet Mountain Dew.

Daddy is just as bad. He doesn’t let the Boy play on the laptop, escape out the door while Momma’s headed to work,  or climb onto tables.

In public, he is sweet as a button. But at home, he is sure to show his displeasure at not being able to do whatever he wants, with an ear piercing people-are-going-to-think-you-are-cutting-off-my-foot-with-a-rusty-saw shriek followed by this face:

So it begins…

Crazy Hair

Here is the Boy, showing off his crazy hair, beautiful eyes, big smile, and climbing skills!
