What did you do today?

I dread being asked the question "what did you do today" because honestly, looking around the house. I'm totally not sure. Living with the Tasmanian devil has really kept me on my toes and off my game lately. I had my camera on me this day, and this was my afternoon.

Creed got high centered on his crib rail when he tried to climb out instead of taking an afternoon nap. Lucky for me he tried to climb on the wrong rail and the wall held him up for a bit. Unlucky for him, I was letting him fuss and he had to stay like this for about 15 minutes while I waited for him to calm down. I think he was so scared all he could do was hang on and whimper.

He hasn't done it again.



Oh, a storm passed through and we have one spot a house away where the water pools and leaves a nice puddle. When he spots the puddle, I can't keep him out of it. He'll play in it for an hour if I'd let him. This leaves me standing in the middle of the road watching him....for an hour.

When I finally do bring him in because I need to start dinner, change over the laundry or anything else. I get a full fledge tantrum as he tries to get back outside. It's awesome.

I have forgotten how exhausting an 18 month old is! Good thing he's cute.


We end the day like this. plum tired and snuggling with his favorite person on earth....his daddy. No matter how hard I try, he won't fall asleep with me holding him. However, wrapped in Jared's arms, he can't help but rest from his hard day of playing.

{contrary to what my neighbors may think. My son does wear pants and shoes most of the time. however, this day, he never slowed down long enough for me to put them back on him after changing his diaper!}

Birdie


Seeing Easton in charge of the class pet is one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time. He was so sweet and so responsible the entire weekend Birdie was at our home.

He made sure that he had a pillow in his cage to sleep with, played outside and was able to watch a show.

He was protective of him and very sad when it came time to return him to school.

Lucky for me, Birdie is stuffed and lucky for Easton, he has a small preschool class so Birdie will be making many visits this year to our home.
