Where Have We Been?

Oy, it's been a really busy week.  We have all kinds of pictures from our one night stay in a cabin in Hana last weekend but haven't had time to post them.

I'm playing piano for the middle school play this weekend, so I've been in rehearsals every afternoon/evening this week.  Out of the 5 work days this week, 4 of them have been 13-14 hours long...ugh.  Daniel has gotten to hang out at rehearsals with me a bit and has been a real trooper.   He's my trusty assistant.  Now if I can just teach him to turn my pages for me...that'd be real valuable!

This morning he decided that he wanted to play in his crib.  It was pretty weird, because he NEVER plays in his crib.  Regardless, he thought it was pretty funny for us to throw all of his stuffed animals and balls in there with him.

What a party.  

Hopefully I'll get to post some Hana pictures this weekend.  Tomorrow will basically be spent at school with open house and two shows, but maybe Sunday...who knows.

Pizza

We went out to a new pizza place last night (thanks to a giftcard).  They didn't have any appetizers or food to distract toddlers, but they did give us some pizza dough to play with!

And just a random photo of a silly kid walking around with his belly out.

Saturday Shenanigans

Just a couple of basket cases!

And of course, because we always do, we went to see the ducks.  But today was different...for the first time we spent the $2 on a bag of duck/fish food.  We were pretty popular.

Drum

Whoa, it's been awhile since I've posted.  I guess things have been busy for us with work, getting broken into/robbed, daycare closed, etc.

I'm so very happy the weekend is here and hope to make the most of it.  Hopefully that means some more pictures coming soon.

In the mean time, Danny got to spend a little time at Seabury after school on Thursday.  He loves coming and playing with the middle schoolers and acting like he owns the place.  He got to play this awesome drum in the drama room.

See ya soon!

Kale vs. Bacon

First of all, the other day Danny learned how to say an enthusiastic "yes!" while nodding his head.  It was the cutest and I was super happy that he hadn't learned to say "no" to everything yet.  Until today.  It was "no" to everything.  The good news is that he doesn't want a million dollars, he doesn't like ice cream, and he doesn't want to go to the park.

Anyway, back to the point of this post.  Tonight Danny had cheese, bacon, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and kale on his plate.  He sat there and ate zucchini and kale and asked for more.  To silence any naysayers, I took a video for proof!  In this video you'll notice he does pick up a piece of cheese but ends up putting it down hah.  Who is this kid!?

And yes, Tom did get in trouble for trying to discourage veggie eating!

A Real Page Turner

 The same thing happens to me when I'm reading a good book...

Danny had to go to a rehearsal with me today but got to model the derby hats they were using for the jazz dance!

Puzzles

Literally just a video of Daniel doing a puzzle.  If that sounds boring to you (and I don't blame you), go ahead and skip right over this post.

We've been working on having Danny stand still/quietly when the chicks approach him.  They'll come up really close to him when he's gentle/quiet.  They're just as interested in him as he is in them.
