Cutie Pie



Fun in the Sun



I wish I had noticed the dirt on his face before I took the picture


Brian (and I) love Parker's new squinty smile

Ah, this is the life

Parker's Artistic Side

Crayons are yummy!

Trying the two-handed technique

Here Dad give it a try

Brian's coloring motto...Safety first!


Beautiful!

IKE = DOG

Apparently, Brian and I haven't been very clear that Ike is the name of one of his dogs, not a species of animal.  This weekend, Parker played with his Grandparent's dog and ran around calling him Ike.  Now I know why Parker looks at me strangely when I ask him what noise a dog makes.

Pit Stop

What happens when you're out running errands with a toddler and have to tinkle?

COMPLETE AND UTTER CHAOS! 

We ducked into a coffee shop to "quickly" use the bathroom.  Parker decided to use this opportunity to practice his door opening skills. Then he felt the urge to pick a scrap of toilet paper up off the floor.  As I was telling him to get off the germ invested floor and for the love of God not to put the scrap of TP in his mouth, my sunglasses fell off my head and into the toilet.  They are my only pair, so I fished them out and soaped them up, while simultaneously holding the door closed with my foot and trying to keep Parker away from the door knob, toilet and garbage can.  I managed to get my glasses clean enough to wrap in paper towel (to be boiled later), washed my hands, Parker's hands and burst out of the bathroom totally out of breath and exhausted.  Next time, I think I'll just pee my pants!
