Yikes!

Alex got up from his nap Wednesday afternoon and quietly went to the kitchen.
He spied the peanut butter jar on the counter.
He got himself a spoon from the drawer and proceeded to eat peanut butter out of the jar with a tablespoon.

He's still alive.

I guess we don't have to worry about that peanut allergy after all.

Geez!

WWF Family Style

Sometimes for fun we turn the Shetland Pony lose in the house to play!


"But we looovve you Catie!"
Poor Abbey........, sorta'.......



This evasive maneuver may be 'sacrifice the weak' or 'you only have to be faster than the guy behind you'!

It should be the 'Terrible Threes'

As you all know Alex struggles with his speech.
Specifically with articulation, he'll talk to you in complete sentences, but is very difficult to understand.

Alex's uttered his best, longest, clearest sentence this morning. I say uttered, but actually it was screamed... shrieked really, right into my face.

"Mommy, you give me dat bak wight NOW!"

I don't even remember what it was that I took away from him. But it was something he had taken off of the bathroom counter, and was not supposed to have.

But the righteous indignation, the shout, glare and demand was all rewarded by me saying "Good words, Honey!"

What he really needed was a time-out.

The Big "3"!

Just so everyone will say, "Awww, I can't believe he is already three!".

Because that's what I walked around saying all day Monday & Tuesday.
"Three, that can't be right, He's not three years old. He can't be..."

Catelin and I made a birthday cake. Alex requested a blue cake. The best we could do was a 'Funfetti' cake with blue sprinkles in and on the cake.


After requesting "blue" for everything from cake and ice cream, to napkins; when we got to the store he spied the "Cars" decorations and only wanted THAT! So much for my blue and Thomas Train theme.












Loving Mack.




Ooohhh, what's in there, look Catie!


In all of the pictures, except the first one, he has icing on his lips. We hadn't even cut the cake yet!
By the way, Funfetti cake with cream cheese icing and sprinkles is waaay gooood!
