When I grow up I want to be……

So Trenton just like many other kids I know got several new toys for Christmas. I always picture Trenton all grown up and wonder what he will do…Will he love trains still and become and engineer of some sort, a professional athlete because it’s in his blood or an artist! Whatever he chooses I am sure we will be very proud!

Trenton playing with his new spiral train set from Nana & Paw Paw. I have to admit I was nervous putting this together because it has so many pieces and T has a tendency to tear up the tracks and throw them all over his room. This one seems to be lasting! Its pretty hard to pull up so I don’t (hope) think its going anywhere! DSC05788 DSC05789 DSC05792 DSC05793

We have had this baseball set up since his birthday. We actually have 2! Gene gave T this helmet and he wears it all the time. He also prefers to play with hard balls versus the cheesy plastic ones! He hit a home run today and went running and screaming “I did it, I did it, I hit a home run!” He has great coordination for his age and with a long line of baseball players in the family that comes as no surprise!

Finally the Christmas present that wins! The art easel. I was super excited when my sister told me she was getting him an easel. T likes coloring and painting and I am always trying to find things for him to do! This gift is perfect. Grandma & Grandpa Flores sent the fun smock, paints and even drip free paint brushes! T has the best grandparents ever! Here is my little Picasso painting a picture for us.

I thought it would be fun to paint his hand and show him how to stick it on the paper. Little did I know my child has done this a million times before at school so he was telling me how to do it!

How sweet of him to “let” me show him when as you can clearly see he knows what he is doing!
