Teachable Moment

Parker grabbed his 'G' alphabet magnet off the fridge so I started singing a phonics song.  "G says g like grapes and great and G says j like giraffe and....um gigolo!"  I would make a kick ass elementary teacher!

I Mustache You a Question...

What are you doing to save the Truffula Trees?

Yogurt!

This morning, I set Parker up with yogurt then went out to the man den to grab a few things out of the freezer.  When I came back in the house, Parker was whining and I figured he had dropped his spoon.  This is what I saw when I walked into the kitchen...



I'm guessing he tried to drink the yogurt then dropped the container when the yogurt hit him in the face! 

Fall Go BOOM!

On Monday, we piled into Sarah's car and visited Jack and Parker's Great Grandma and Great Aunt Linda.  After we got back, I left the car seat in the entry way...big mistake!  Parker decided to sit in it, then stood up and tipped it over.  Unfortunately, he stopped his fall by hitting his face on the low windowsill next to the door.  A bloody and very swollen nose had me worried completely panicked that he had broken his nose.  So we jumped back into the car and headed to Urgent Care to get him checked out.  Looks like he hit his cheek and the tip of his nose.  No permanent damage, but his nose is still swollen and as you can see in the pictures he has a large bruise on the left side of his nose. 

You can't really see the bruise in this one, just thought it was a cute pose!

This is day 3 and the bruise has finally stopped getting darker. 
Sorry about all the boogers, but his nose is pretty tender and he won't let me touch it.

Shower Buddies

Parker started taking showers with Brian, when he was battling croup (hot steamy air helps calm the cough) and is now a shower convert.  We tell him it's shower time and he grabs his towel and sprints to our bathroom.  He thinks it is hilarious to change the settings on the shower head and spray us in the face with water.  The other night I came in to check on the boys and found them playing with a shower cap and laughing hysterically!
