9:04

Lately you have been paying a lot of attention to the clock, the one in the bathroom had hands and the one in your room is digital.  In your room you will say the numbers and then ask what they mean.  The bathroom clock is more confusing.  You have also been making the distinction between who is a boy and who is a girl and to be honest some of the cartoon characters it is hard to tell.  You mentioned that you do not want your hair cut short because then you would be a boy.  While rocking tonight you said “nine, zero, four, 9 is a boy and 4 is a girl.”

Easter Eggs & Ears

Today was a busy day for a snowy Saturday.  It is the second day of spring and it is still snowing.  This morning you said your ear hurts and just yesterday you said I can’t hear, turn it up.  This unfortunately is a tell tale sign of an ear infection.  So we got dressed and headed off to the doctors office and sure enough you had an infection in both ears.   Then a trip to the pharmacy and home just in time for an afternoon nap.

After your nap we had dinner and then it was time to decorate easter eggs for your first time.  You had fun plopping the eggs into the dye and then afterwards putting on stickers and using magic markers to add even more artistic elements.

Swimming Lessons

This morning on the way to school we talked about starting the next session of swimming lessons.  You are moving up to Little 2.  You said, “I don’t like to float on my back, I don’t want to go under and die.  Dying would hurt my feelings.”

Pentagon

It was a busy weekend. Saturday morning was your last session of Little 1 at swim school and in a few days you start Little 2. We came home and then you helped daddy bake a yellow cake by helping measure ingredients and then pour them in to the mixer bowl. When you woke up from your nap grandpa and grandma were here. Grandma brought you a necklace and 2 bracelets that she made.  The last time they were here you wore her nice necklace around all weekend, calling it your pink diamond.  You now have your own pink diamond.

You helped grandma frost your cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Later in the day you were running a slight temp. Sunday morning you played several games of hide and seek with grandpa and grandma. In the afternoon they headed home and you took a long nap. When you woke up we played with a new little bead craft item called perler beads. You have one in the shape of a hexagon, but you said “No papa, it is a pentagon”.

Just check it out, OK buddy

You learned some new slogans this weekend.  Several times today you said, “Just check it out”.  This morning you sang for me a beautiful version of You are my Sunshine.  You started out by saying, “make a sad face”, and then would sing the song for me.

Tonight while rocking you surprised me by saying “papa I am ready to lay in my bed”, then once situated under 3 layers of blankets you said “now lay your head by me for eleven minutes, OK buddy”.

Knees

I am not sure how it happened, but you have your first pair of jeans with a hole in the knee. They are a pair of jeans with a pretty pink cuff at the bottom and at supper tonight you discovered that you could see you knee through your pants.

Earlier today we had swimming lessons and then we dashed off to watch cousin Sarah at a dance competition, you also got to see Hannah, for the first time since she got out of the hospital. You also got to visit with Aunt Ginny and her sister Angie.

3 hours

Tonight you wanted to play downstairs, so we took nebby with to do in the basement.  Daddy brought nebby and the medicine to the top of the stairs and you said, “thanks for everything dad, we will be back up in 3 hours”.
