Outside Fun

"yellow"
just like Daddy coloring on my table

As is becoming usual, Sean asked me this morning, "mommy, what are we doing?". I had to laugh, again. He knows our routine now of staying on the go and always having activities.

The first thing we did was to ride his bike. He is getting much better on his "big boy" bike. I enjoy our conversations during his rides. He has been especially sweet, today. He waved to every passerby that we saw and when he fell off of the bike, he would say, "sorry, mommy". That broke my heart. I told him that it's not his fault that he fell. I think that's because I am always telling him to be careful.

Later, we headed to the store and I got him some more moon sand, an adorable "Cars" table for outdoors that has an umbrella and that you can color on, bubbles and a toy weed eater. I know that I overindulge him, but kept telling myself that we will use all of these because he loves to be outdoors so much.

He didn't play with the weed eater as much as I thought that he would. He loved the new table, especially the umbrella. I changed the solution in the hummingbird feeder and we are still hopeful that we'll see some. Sean watered "yellow" and of course, said, "all by myself" while he watered it and it is starting to sprout!! We played with the bubbles and I laughed as I watched my baby try to catch a dragonfly. He wants to hold a bird or bug, so badly. There was no nap, today, so he's a bit cranky, now. I had so much fun with him today. I love you, Sean!!!

Breakfast with Daddy

my big boy bike
Today, Kenny took Sean to I-Hop for breakfast and let me sleep in!! I was so surprised and glad that Kenny and Sean got some alone time together. When, they came back, Sean told me that he had blueberry and strawberry syrup on his pancakes. I asked him if he poured it and he said, "no, my daddy did". I think it's so cute that he always refers to Kenny to me as "my daddy".

Sean had been up very early, so he and Daddy were tired and took a good nap after their late breakfast. After naptime, I took Sean out on his new bike. Guess what? He mastered the new bike already!! He had a hard time on it yesterday, but today, he could pedal fast and steer! I was so proud and so was he. We called Dukie, later and told him all about it. Dukie was proud, too!

I took Sean shopping with me to get new dvd players for the car and then we got his favorite dinner, chicken strips and french fries. Today, was a special bonding father/son day!

I'm going to get Sean to sleep because he has school pictures, tomorrow!

The Leaves Are Dancing

Last night, Kenny and I went to Uncle Joey's surprise party, so Maw Maw and Dukie watched the 3 grandkids and spent the night on the northshore.

In the morning, I took Sean with me to the doctor because I figured that I had an ear infection, which I do. On the way home, Dukie called and said to meet him at Wal-Mart because he wanted to by Sean a bike! Dukie already had it picked out when we met him. Sean got a yellow Tonka rugged big boy adjustable bike with training wheels. Goodbye, Thomas the Train tricycle! Sean was so excited. His legs still aren't quite long enough, but he did start to get used to pedalling a bike that has a brake.

Dukie stayed and changed the oil on the "tractor" (riding lawn mower), so Sean stayed up all day and watched Dukie work. We then, headed to McDonald's for lunch. Sean ate all of his chicken nuggets for Dukie! I was thrilled because he won't eat for me.

My plan was to keep him up, so he will go to bed early tonight. So, we headed for the backyard, and played with Moon Sand. I have no idea why it's called this, but Sean liked it. It has been so windy here, that I've been telling Sean that the leaves are dancing and to watch them in the trees. This afternoon, he said, "look Mommy, the leaves are dancing". I was so amazed that he remembered this. We watched the leaves and I told him to listen to the wind and tell me what he heard and he said, "dancing"! We then, spent about 15 min. playing with a doodle bug! I'm getting used to these "boy activities"!
