Our Friday

We had a fun day Friday. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a fun fall day at home. The best kind, really.

After we ate our waffles, I did a little laundy, while Brody did a little table drumming. And he was getting after it! I wish so badly that my digital camera took video. I hate getting out our regular video cam.

He played most of the morning, while I finished cleaning, then it was nap time. Getting veeerry sleeeepy.....

Bedtime and naptime hasn't been going as well the last few nights. I swear, this kids sleep pattern in so inconsistant. He wants in his bed, but as soon as I leave the room he freaks. So, I stay in and rub his back until I think he is asleep. This has lasted for 30 minutes sometimes. Oh, and I thought most kids slept all night every night by this age. Guess I was wrong. He will go a week or 2 sleeping all night, then wake up once a night for a week. And I have made the mistake of just putting him in our bed when he wakes up. I know what you are thinking - that's her mistake!!! I know, I know. But that's the fastest way for us all to get back to sleep. So, whatever works right?

After naptime and lunch, we decided that the yard had dried out enough from the rain the day before to play outside for a while. Who wants to be stuck in the house on a nice fall day with temps in the 60's. Not Brody, for sure!!! Well, when I felt that cool breeze, all I could think of was all those ear infections from last year. So, I grabbed a jacket...with a hood...and zipped him up.

After about 5 minutes of playing, I realized that I had gone a little overboard, and let him at least take the hat off. He was very grateful, I can assure you. I don't know how I am going to keep hats on his head this winter.

Once the hat was off, it was like he could function again, and he went right to digging in the rocks.



And then proceeded to throw the rocks in the huge mudhole in our driveway.

At the rate he was going, I thought he was going to fill the hole up! I was hoping anyway....
When he started getting a little too close to the mudhole for my liking, I loaded him (and the soccer ball) up in the wagon, and we went to get the mail.

He pulled the wagon on the way back.


Peek-A-Boo!!!!!

I asked him to smell the pretty green "flower"...and what does he do???
Just rips it right off and smells it!!!!!!



Moving on to the trucks........

As much as he loves ba-ball (baseball) and oot-ball (football), I think soccer might be his sport of choice. He loves to chase it around the yard, kicking it as he goes. .....Until he kicks it right into the shrubs.....
