Feeling Better

I just found Donald Duck, my favorite character, in the middle of a Winnie the Pooh coloring book. YAY!!


Look what happens when you leave the little guy for a minute...


He wanted some more cereal, so he decided to pour it himself. Excellent. At least some made it into the bowl. :)

Please Go Away!

A nasty, lingering stomach virus has entered my sweet boy's little body! We are now on Day #8 of diarrhea and vomiting in the middle of the night. Ugh! I finally took him to see the doctor yesterday, and he said that we might have another 6 days of this yucky stuff! J has never had a stomach virus before, so the doctor said the first one is usually the worst in terms of duration. I think I have washed 10+ loads of laundry just for J over the past 8 days! Thankfully, Dave and I have not caught it, and we are just praying that we don't get it. :(

Does Someone Know Something that I Don't Know???

I received this box in the mail today! Maybe it is a hint that J needs a brother or sister. I'll tell Dave.

Who Needs Toys???

Coffee for Anyone???

Last night, I was busily getting dinner prepared while Dave was at the gym and trying to get ready for a Mom's Night Out. J was running around and playing with little things in the kitchen. I saw him at the pantry with our Dunkin' Donuts bag of coffee in his hand, and I let him hold it since the bag was still sealed. I continued cutting up his chicken until I realized he had placed several items on the counter in front of the coffee pot: coffee filters, the bag of coffee, and a tablespoon. Meanwhile, he was sliding a chair across the kitchen floor to the counter. You guessed it...our toddler knows how to make coffee. At first, I was very impressed that he knew how to do this since he has only helped me make coffee a handful of times (maybe 5 or 6), but I was also a little embarrassed that he somewhat knows how to make coffee at TWO! ;)


What, Mommy???


Where are the directions?

Weekend Recap

We spent Saturday morning touring Dave's new office building. His company is moving to a different location in the city at the end of the year. Dave is excited about this new location as it will be closer to home, more restaurants nearby, etc. It is also an even nicer building than he is in now with a really good view.








Then on Saturday night we went to a concert in the park which was part of a neighborhood Spring Fling. I could only get one pic...I guess we were talking too much. J loved listening to the band.



On Sunday, Dave and I served in the two year old room (toddlers who are a year older than J) at church. It was such a neat experience, and all of the children were so sweet. A few of the little boys really liked Dave. We have decided to help out in this area once every month. At this church, there are multiple worship services and two Sunday School hours, so every hour in the nursery is Sunday School. This means that there is a lesson, story, songs,craft, snack, and playtime every hour; otherwise, some children would miss out on those opportunities since some parents are at worship while others are in Sunday School. At one point, all of the 2-5 year olds meet together for a few praise songs, short story, and lots of repetition for the little ones. I was impressed with how organized it all was and that even the very youngest children repeated, "God loves EVERYONE"! I can't wait for J to be a part of this, but even now he participates in a lesson and craft. I love it that this church recognizes that very young children can learn about God's love & creation.
