A work in progress

We did a lot of work around our house this weekend. The paint colors have been chosen and the playroom is almost finished. Kevin was a big helper, he was able to use his new tools from Aunt Tanya & Uncle Dave.

The chalkboard turned out really well. I'll post more photos when we're done. So far, I think I am having more fun with it than Kevin!

Kevin's day with Daddy

My guys had fun at home today. Aren't they silly? Kevin is feeling better :)

Under the weather

We have all been a bit under the weather lately. Yesterday, Kevin was sent home from "school" with a fever. His teacher said he was walking around moaning "ow-wie, ow-wie". We thought it was his ears. But a visit to his doctor revealed it's just a virus. Nothing to do but rest, and watch a lot of Elmo! He is in good spirits, until the motrin wears off. His fever is down below 100 today, that's a good sign.

It's so cold here, we will be staying home all weekend.

Stay warm everyone!!

On the potty, horray!

Kevin decided he want to try his potty today. I think we freaked him out because we were soooo excited! I never thought we would get so excited about this, but then again, there are many things he does that I never imagined could rock my world as much as they do.

We'll keep trying with the potty each night at bath time and see if there is progress. Don't worry, I won't report on the progress. We took his photo on the potty because he was grinning with pride, but decided that even babies need their privacy, so I didn't post it.

It's time to take the tree down during naptime, boo :(

Firetruck - whoo, whoo!

Uncle Jo-Jo & 'Cole came and brought Kevin a shiny red fire truck! It was a big hit!!! He especially had fun helping them assemble it.

"Pacifier's Anonymous" ???

We have regressed a little bit with Kevin's use of his pacifier. He now calls it by name; binky. We tried to limit it to bedtime only, then with the long drive to Chicago & a bout of the stomach flu, binky is with us in full force.

What to do?

Seriously, we aren't too worried, and plan to get really strict with it once he turns two.

Shake, shake, shake...

One of his favorite things to do now....
