Today started pretty much like any other. Sean and I are always on the go. He loves to be out and about and so do I. I was calling Nanny to see what she and the girls were up to. Sean hates it when I'm on the phone. He still wants my attention all of the time, so when he grabbed an Easter egg that we had dyed 2 days earlier and sat on the sofa with it, I didn't say anything. It was covered with stickers and it was keeping him busy, so I seized the opportunity to get on the phone. As am finishing up, I hear him say, "look Mommy, blue". I don't know if his hands had been wet or if the dye comes off of the eggs, but his hands were bright blue. I got off the phone and grabbed some wet wipes and began to wash his hands. When, I realized that all I had done was lighten the blue, all I could do was laugh. I grabbed the camera and took a picture and then got on the internet to see what would remove the dye. It suggested Lava soap. We got into the car and headed to Target.
When, I was getting him into the cart, he began his ritual waving to people. As he waves to passing cars, he says, "it's nice to wave to people". It's so cute and so many people wave back to him. We couldn't find any soap, so I bought some nail polish remover and hoped it would work. In the parking lot, I tried the remover and no luck. Oh well, I figured it would just come off after a couple of washings. I also bought him a bicycle helmet when we were at the store. Sean is a daredevil, so I figured this was a wise purchase. He picked one with monkeys on it. We went home and put on his helmet, so he could ride his bike. Of course, I had to get some pictures of that and email some to Kenny. Then, we went inside and Sean asked if he could cut paper. I know that they do this at school, so I had bought some child friendly scissors and let him cut. It kept him busy! I was so surprised, because it is hard to keep him focused on one thing for very long. He was so serious, too. Again, I just had to take some pictures of my little blue handed boy cutting paper for the first time for mommy.
