Your Mission: Catch up on Blogging

So why do we buy our children toys that are “age appropriate” when all they want to play with is spoons, boxes or their exersaucer from when they were babies! I was doing laundry the other day and walked into the garage to see this:

Ummmm…can I help you?  He stayed in the saucer for ever! I just left him out there, I mean what Mom is going to argue with a little alone time! If making a fort out of blankets and pillows or playing in your toys from 2 years ago means I get to relax and fold clothes in peace be my guest!

Labor Day we decided to take out the boat and enjoy the Houston heat. It was so nice!!  T and I have not been on the boat in a while so we called up some friends and headed to Walter Hall. T is a little scared at first, but when we start moving its all ok!

We are big sunglass people and I think its important to teach T now to wear them and he is pretty stinkin’ cute if I don’t say so myself. As usual he fell asleep on the 20 minutes we were in the car so this is the “Mom, your crazy if you think I’m getting on that boat” face!Boats are better than cars when it comes to making kids tired. Aren’t we such a cute couple!My boys! I love them so much!

  Out of the way Dad, I’ve got this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reality has apparently set in that we are not on land! CHEEEEEEEEZE! This is the big smile I got as we were heading home for bed! Yes, T was in bed by 6:30! As some of you know we are working on potty training. T loves to wear undies at school. He loves to potty like a big boy at school. He however does not like undies at home. He demands a pull up or to be naked. I usually opt for naked time because he will actually go potty. He will not use the potty with a pull up on SOOOOO this is what you will find at any given moment in the Flores house! I will say for him only being  2 1/2 (not even) we have been very successful at the potty training business.

Today we met the Brewers at TRU for a Thomas the Train Playdate. I mean what’s better than a free day with Thomas?!? Well the boys mostly ran around the store playing with every toy they found, but we did at least get a few pics of T coloring his Thomas sheet. AND he got some awesome trading cards!! He can add these to his Baseball collection…they will be worth something too one day…right?

So polite, offering colors to Mommy.

This picture steals my heart. He looks so grown up. He is really focusing on coloring! Hey, what’s that?  They also had cool paper engineer hats, but we never actually got it on his head! We closed the day with a little playtime at ChicFila and then Daddy was so sweet to take T home to nap while I shopped for fall clothes for my rapidly growing little man! 

We also moved Trenton to a big boy bed….his new room is a work in progress so stay tuned!
