Oops!

Dear Sam,

I am sorry.
I was cutting your hair like I always do and then I decided to just trim a little.bit.more and then it happened….. gasp!... oh crap!   You had no idea and happily got in the shower when I was done.  I do feel really bad.  Several people have asked me if you cut it yourself…but I am honest and tell them “nope it was me”….sigh.  What is it that they say “The difference between a bad haircut and a good haircut is 2 weeks”  - so just 10 more days and you will look fabulous again! Again, my apologies. You’re still super handsome in my book =)

Love,
Mom

Finally some snow!

Besides that freak snow storm in October we havent had any snow... until now!  It was going to miss us but then the storm moved just enough for us to get about 3 inches - Sam of course was thrilled and wanted to go outside right away! He watched daddy shovel then he decided to shovel the yard =)

Then a freak blizzard hit us.....

or maybe it was just the snow blower..... lol

We turned Sam into a snowman

Then Sam did a little sledding in the back yard - which he loved too!



Projects

When Hannah naps on the weekends I use that time to do special projects with Sam - here are a few we have done in the past and one from today - he loves them and as soon as Hannah goes to bed he asks me if we can do a project =)

The first one was going to be a discovery bag for Hannah but it didnt work out so I just squirted the shaving cream on a cookie tray and Sam had a blast playing in it!

 

 This time we did make a discovery bag for Hannah - we went around the house and looked for fun things - pretty ribbon, confetti, pom pom balls, shiny green bag filler and a few other things - it turned out great and Hannah loved it

This project was from today - Bird seed hearts

First I made some hearts on cardboard then cut them out

Sam covered them in peanut butter then added the bird seed

Then we took them outside and hung them up

 



Home with daddy

cant get this pic to turn the right way....

Life with a Toddler

tantrum anyone?

One thousand one hundred ninety-one days

Sam's eczema has gotten really bad - its mainly on  his butt - so every night when I put his diaper on for bed he cries cuz its itchy and then he asked if he could go w/o a diaper - so I said yes and crossed my fingers hoping for the best (meaning he wouldnt pee in the bed).  He woke up the next day dry - YAY!!  After a few days his eczema looked better too - double yay!!  He has been 100% diaper free (24 hours a day) now for over 2 weeks and still no accidents - so his last diaper was on Dec 27 - which means 1191 days in diapers or 3 years, 3 months, 5 day.  Just like when we daytime PT him in June I was sooo nervous to take the leap but once again I let him take the lead and decide when was the right time and once again he did great!  Way to go Sam!

Flashback Friday

I came across this picture on my computer and got a good laugh - I think it was around June and Sam would NOT leave Hannah alone so we had to put a barrier around her - LOL
