Wordless Wednesday - "playing with shovels with Papa" edition

2-weeks...

... from today, I will be boarding this beauty.

I can't wait to...

Sleep.

Sun.

Dine.

Explore.

Experience.

Relax.

Rest.

Read.

Do nothing.

Be with my husband.

Laugh.

Until then, I will enjoy every second with my toddler boy and be doing lots of laundry and packing and preparing.

2-weeks.

That's all that's left!

Wordless Wednesday - Asher takes a photo edition

baby training

This past week my in-laws, who happen to be my neighbors, were away. We visited their house each day to feed and spend time with their cat, Pickles, and also to play with the different toys in my nieces' play room. Interestingly enough, this week Asher became interested in babies - maybe something to do with the fact that we're talking about having a baby join our family each day - just a guess though :)

I took a bunch of pictures, and can't help but share. It's so precious!

I love the look on Asher's face here!

And here, too!

He can even work in the kitchen with baby in tow - what a talented boy.

Let's just hope he doesn't do this with his new baby brother or sister!

So I guess a baby doll toy has now officially made it's way on Asher's birthday wish list. It'll be good training for him, I'd say, to get used to having a "baby"around.

This week...

... I have been caring for a lot of toddler boys

... and it's been tiring

... but fun and good

... and I've had help

... which was helpful

... but I'm sure glad it's Friday!

Wordless Wednesday - first trip to our local indoor amusement park

a little language love

Remember how a few weeks ago I expressed that Asher was saying a lot of single words, but not many 2-word sentences? Well this kids brain must be in rapid fire language learning mode because over the last couple weeks alone he has been throwing out the 2-word sentences like there's no tomorrow. I took a few moments to write down some of the ones I've heard just this past weekend, and I wanted to share them with you. Here they are:


"Mama goes"

"read book"

"Asher's car"

"Papa work"

"Papa's shovel"

"excited pancakes"

"clean up blocks"

"bye poop"

"want juice"

"more fish"

"cookies all gone"

"sleeves up"

"shoes on"

"other one ball"

"uh oh broke"


And also while we're on the language band wagon, Asher said something really cute this weekend. I often say to him "Asher I have something to tell you" or "Asher I have a secret" and that thing is always "I love you!". He sometimes will repeat "love you" after me, but this weekend I said my little preface; "Asher I have a secret" and Asher responded with "love you!" Awwww, melt my heart little boy, I do love you. So very, very much.
