Still likes Daddy's shoes


Its been a while again since I have found time to sit down and post. Lots to do everyday and not enough time. Actually if I would manage my time better there might be more of it available, but its kind of nice to not have to manage it so tight anymore. The office is officially out of the house and moved to town. The phone lines are gone and we are just a simple home again. I still have some paperwork to do every month, but nothing like it used to be.
Potty training is complete, with simple reminders needed but not always appreciated!! Its about time for our first haircut, but mama just can't seem to bring out the scissors!! Its just a little long in the back, but after his nap or when its a little damp it is so curly and cute. I will have to break down pretty soon and get it trimmed up, think I might do it when he is napping!! :-) Maybe it will be straight then, can't get him to sit still for a minute right now, so cutting hair might be a jagged affair. He is getting more words clear all the time. There are still some that I think he could say right, he just isn't wanting to. He has the grunt or whine thing down pat and it usually gets attention, bad mama. Have to quit that or he won't ever learn to talk. He is eating better all the time. We finally are able to leave toddler food alone except for restaurants or public eating, sometimes we just need something we KNOW he will eat. He still isn't crazy about veggies, given time though he will get used to them. Desserts still aren't big on his list of favs, thats ok with me, might save his teeth a bit.
The weather is warming up here really good. I paid bills for Alan out on the patio table this morning so Brayden could play outside. He had about 2 hrs out there before it was time to come in for lunch. Daddy put his swing up yesterday, the one that has a childseat so he can't get out once we put him in. Might save some frightening moments. He really likes to swing. Its out by the garden so it should be real handy this summer. There isn't much for wind so far today, so with any luck he can have a couple hours outside after his nap too. He uses up sooo much energy that way and the fresh air has got to be good. We need to get some more outdoor toys together. Hope the garage sales are good this summer, we need a few things and used would be great!! He really enjoys going over to the other yard and playing with their toys, not necessarily with their kids, just their toys!! Other's stuff is always better than our own! Its nice to have kids next door to play with though, perhaps he can learn some words from them, they are a non stop chat.
Will let this do for now, our boy is growing and changing almost daily. Its hard to keep up in lots of ways, but I find as time goes that I am getting lax in pics too. Good to have this blog as a good reason to keep taking pics. Now if I could just get someone to build my scrap book for me. I can provide pics, but no artistic talent to put one together. Oh well, perhaps he will just get a drawer of pics someday with dates on the back of them, if I can remember to date them!! :-)
