Take Me Outside!

Andrew's latest thing is that he wants to be outside as much as possible. Now that he can walk, he wants to go investigate every little thing. His favorite place is the street, of all places!!! Good thing that we live on a street with about 15 houses and we are close to the culdisack (spelling??). He also likes the deck, but that is so dirty. Ben was playing with him there on Saturday everning and he was covered in dirt on his hands and knees. He walks most of the time, but sometimes it is quicker to move my his knees. The more he goes outside the less he likes coming inside. The past few nights he has thrown temper tantrups (I knew this day was coming :() and had to be disciplined. (I hate that part) Yesterday it started raining just as I was about to go outside with him. Andrew got upset (spent 5 minutes in time out in his crib, I have learned that for now, that that works better than spanking).

We bought the little potty to introduce to Andrew. I showed it to him yesterday, but he just thought it was a toy. You'll never believe this, guess where Ben wanted to put the potty? In the kitchen, I about had a heart attack. He thought there wasn't enough room in the bathroom. Please let me know what you think about the potty in the kitchen.

Andrew's 3rd Haircut

I took Andrew for his third haircut and the boy is only 14 months old. His hair grows so fast. This was the first time that she used the clippers on the sides and in the back. By using the clippers, she was able to get it his hair shorter and then used the scissors on top and cut that shorter. I think last time she didn't get it short enough. Andrew did good. He cried right when I said "your doing so good Andrew" and then he cried when the lady cutting his hair said the same thing. We decided not to say anything until the haircut was completely over. He did really good!

We had a really good day yesterday. After his late afternoon nap we went to the park and walked around for almost an hour. Ben joined us on the last lap around. The weather had cooled down to the low 80's so it wasn't too hot. Andrew still loves to be pushed in the stroller. I gave him an unfrosted cupcake to eat, but he wasn't to interested in it because he was too busy gocking at everyone at the park. I made mini cupcakes to take to his class today. I put chocolate frosting on them last night, they were yummy! Hopefully Andrew doesn't have chocolate frosting all over his white t-shirt today. I guess I should have put a dark color t-shirt on him today, oh well!
