I also got the results from his blood test and all is good. We get to keep his dose where it's at and the number they wanted to see go down went way down!
I just think this picture is cute... I hid his paci in his pocket in case he needed it at church and then forgot to take it out. He was very excited when he put his hands in his pockets and found it. :) He's still very much in love with his paci (and his pockets).
I got my mom tickets to Theater Sports for her birthday (last April...) and on Saturday we were finally able to make it work. If you haven't been before, I highly recommend it. It's a fun show, plus the theater is in Post Alley. :)
I took Mason for a haircut to see if I wanted to continue growing it out or if I was ready to cut it short. After the lady listened to what I was looking for she started calling it the 'surfer cut' which I think is exactly what I'm looking for. It still needs to grow out to really get the look but she cleaned it up and was able to leave some curl! She also told me that she thinks Mason's hair will be think once it's all grown in so I'm definitely going to grow it out while I have the chance.
Mason found Andrew's rain boots and put them on all by himself. Cutie.
Mason definitely likes to (try to) do things for himself. He's been trying to put on his pj's by himself the last few nights and he tries to put on his socks & shoes on all the time. He's also randomly interested in using the toilet lately - enough so that we're going to pull out the potty chair (just so he can sit on it and I don't have to sit him on the toilet all the time). He has spent one week in the two-year old classroom and he is doing what he can to fit in - he is ready to be two!
Here's what I looked like at the restaurant. :)
I'm happy with my choice. And very happy to share my random pictures with the world. Enjoy!
His first time in a booster seat was hit.
His first time in the drivers seat was an even bigger hit!
Like I said, it's mainly a way for us to be able to get him the video game without just getting it for no reason. At least this helps him work on being a big kid, right? Seems like a win-win to us!
Tonight will be the 3rd night. The first night he did great; last night he just wasn't interested. Hopefully we'll be back on track tonight, although I expect it to be a bit tough - that's why we had to make the reward something he'd be excited about. Wish us luck!
When we bought our new kitchen table we also set up a little table for the boys to use for crafts, etc. The good news about finding out the table's finish was going to chip after the first week is there's no worries about letting the boys do projects, play dough, etc right on it!
I'm so excited! I hope they have some success so they'll be excited to do it again. Andrew is already talking about pumpkins. :)
The night may or may not have been based on sharing a mini keg of Coors Light. :)
When I try to get pictures of the kids they look away or hide. When I try to get pictures of the adults, all of a sudden they're all interested in being part of it! This actually turned out pretty cute. Too bad it was taken too late for the boys to be in it. But I guess that's the proof that we stayed out past 8:00 last night. We're wild! 
The JC Penny's fashion show (complete with these rad dancers) was really fun. 
What a fun day! 
I always forget how much my boys love playing with water. It's a great way to keep them happy & busy while I get something else done.
Mason has hit the stick-loving stage. He's rarely without one these days.
I let Mason take the trike for a little test ride this morning. He's not quite big enough to reach the pedal at its furthest reach, but he's very close. He didn't care that he couldn't pedal anyway, he loved it. 
I've finally learned how to be successful with having Andrew help me in the kitchen. If it comes in a can, or a 'just-add-water' pouch, we can do it! We'll be making Jello after his quiet time is over. I'm banking on two successful experiences in the kitchen today.
This picture needed to be taken for documentation of my life. :) Today was the first day I'm finally ready to admit I really, really want an iphone! We had a lot to do today and along the way, both boys fell asleep. Mason really needs a nap during the day so I decided to do my usual and enjoy Starbucks drive thru while the boys slept. Then I sat there and looked at pictures on my camera, planned Mason's birthday party, took pictures of myself and wished I had an iphone. I think I'll put a book in my car to hold me over until I get said phone.
One of our stops today was at Petco to check out frogs. Ryean read that frogs are a great low-maintenance pet that might be a little more exciting than a fish (which Andrew doesn't want because you have to feed it everyday and they're boring). Turns out he doesn't want a frog either. He wants, in his words without me even asking, "a black dog. A really big black dog". He then specified that he'd like to get it as a puppy. He has put some serious thought into this. We're not ready for a dog and Andrew doesn't seem to want anything else so it looks like we're going to continue to be a pet free house for now.
