Electric Slide

I had a class this morning and Ankeny and let Alex play on the playground afterwards. He climbed right up and slid down the big slide by himself like a pro. Mom was nervously watching close by, but he did great and loved it! He then proceeded to repeat it about 7 times before I finally had to drag him back to the car to get home. I didn't have my camera, so I used my cell phone. This kid is getting so big!

Awesome, Dude!

These videos were taken tonight so please excuse the darkness, we just couldn't get over Alex saying the word "awesome" today. As I was buckling him into his car seat, it sounded like he said "awesome" so I said it and he repeated it...and kept on repeating it throughout the day. Tonight I decided to get him on camera saying it, and I said "Say awesome dude!" and lo and behold, he starts saying "dude!" Pretty cool --- my son can't talk in short sentences yet, but by god, he knows his slang! Priorities...

AWESOME!



DUDE!

Sittin' in the Sink

Alex's new favorite place to play...

First Rock Concert



Alex got to go to his first concert on Saturday! He saw Justin Roberts and the Not Yet Ready for Nap Time Players. They put on quite a show for the kids (and the parents). Good times!

Pluck of the Irish - Photo of the Day


Well, our moms group had planned to have a big float for the DM St. Pat's Day parade. As luck (or lack of it) would have it, it was 35 and a steady rain for the parade. We ditched the idea of the trailer with the float, as none of us really wanted to sit out in the rain for an hour and a half, so we stuck to decorating the cars and staying dry and cozy in our cars, chucking candy at the crowds. Here is our little leprechaun, he spent most of the parade sitting on his mom's lap, watching everyone and everything, and helping with the candy tossing. He then promptly fell asleep on the way home!
