Time Out

So, Hayydn was acting up in church so I took him out. When that happens I usually take him in a room and make him stay in a little chair till he is ready to behave and then we go back in. Well, I think I figured out why he was misbehaving. ;-) Pretty funny, especially about 1:27 to the ending. Hey, and you gotta give the kid props for actually staying in the chair. :)

Slow Movin'

It is funny how things seem to go so slow, and yet they race by?  Anyway, I am glad to say that I am done with the securities section of my training.  I promised them I would pass with flying colors and kept my word.  I got a 90, 88, and a 89 and I finished a week early.  Luckily, they are able to get me into some of my other training so it isn't a waste.  Today is my first full day at the branch, although, I will only be doing online training.  Then its back down town for Business Training.

I just have to take a moment and say that Hayydn is already living up to any expectations that I might have.  First, he is crazy!  He jumped from the top of the couch to the ground.  He is only 20 months old so obviously it didn't go well, but I am impressed none the less.  He tried to take off a few feet away from the edge, yeah, sorry buddy you don't have those kinda hops . . . Yet. ;-).  He landed on his face, sometimes you just gotta wipe out. :-)

Ok, so, secondly, the kid honestly loves RC cars.  That is all he talks about.  I get home and the first thing he says is, "cars? Go?"  With a look of expectation that, regardless of any previous plans I might have had, I am playin with the cars.  Who can complain about that?  Granted he is still pretty terrified of the darn things once they start going (especially the Nitro one) but he is getting more and more comfortable.  I should ahve him on the track by his 3rd birthday. :-)  And, I think he enjoys working on them with me more than driving them.  I am sure that will prove to be quite destructive once he really can take stuff apart.

On a side note, Hannah, my oldest, is actually getting quite good at driving the cars.  Perhaps it will become a family event? AWESOME! (Even though I am sure Lisa still won't come. :-( one can hope though).

Sorry, not sure what the infactuation with RC is right now, I guess I just never grew up. :-)

The Linus Epidemic

So, my son has what I like to call the "Linus Epidemic."  There is one particular blanket that he is very attached to.  Luckily it only causes problems at bedtime.  He absolutely cannot go to sleep without it.  Tonight we spent like an hour trying to find Hayydn's blanket twin (yes, luckily we have two).  We tried others of similar fabric and color - no go! 

Finally, we just pulled the original out of the dryer,  a little damp, and yet he was asleep in minutes with a huge smile on his face.

The question is, 'what happens when we don't have the blankey anymore?'  I think we are in serious trouble if we don't solve our little problem before those blanketrs wear out or disappear.

Splash Park fun...or not.

Hayydn wasn't too sure about the water park. He loves swimming in the pool but it took awhile...a long while to get used to the splash park. Haddli on the other hand loved it, along with Carter. Hannah loves it so much, she ran off and I got no pictures of her!
