Will and I made Christmas cookies a few weeks ago. And yes, we were still in our pj’s! It was my day off and we weren’t going anywhere, so we didn’t feel the need to get dressed up! Will loves to help these days. He will “help” us do all sorts of things! He is so sweet and so proud of himself when he does. He was very into the cookie business!
I had to post this picture to redeem my sweet boy from the melt down picture I posted earlier. This is one of the first pictures we took and he was picture perfect! Clearly, it didn't last long, so I am so glad we got this one! It was a gift for my mom, so I had to keep it under wraps until after Christmas. Just wanted to show you that Will did give us a good pic. Just one - but that's all we needed! :) How handsome are these 3 boys? Cousin fun!!
I have to capture this one on the blog. This is pricless. When it was happening, I was pretty annoyed and embarrassed. Now, I think it rocks. We tried to take a cousins pic with a photographer - so you know - we paid money for it. I am not sure why I thought my child would be interested in doing this. He's not always the easiest going kid and only likes to do things when it is his idea (not sure where he got that trait...oh yeah, that would be me). This was about 5 min into the session! Yep - that's him. Face down on the ground...crying. There actually was one good pic taken at the very beginning. I'll post it after Christmas so you can see is he a sweet, adorable 2 year old at times! (Actually, he's sweet most of the time!). I really am planning to frame this one. It beautifully captures the trials of being 2. The greatness of this pic is Dylan's cheesy smile in the background. It is clearly forced and you can just know what he's thinking - I'm still smiling like I'm supposed to! :) Sweet Dylan.
I never posted this. Here is his school picture this year. It isn't a very good scan for some reason, so please excuse. This makes me laugh. He's got that serious grin. It is a very Will pic!
Well, he still wasn't a fan this year! They took Santa pics at Will's school and I was excited because I really thought that if he saw his friends sitting in the old guy's lap that he wouldn't be as unsure. Nope! :) Maybe next year!Well, it looks like my blog fairy took the month of November off. What is up with that? She’s falling down on her job, so I guess I’ll have to get to work myself. No, I don’t have a blog fairy, but it appears I need one! I’m so, so far behind! I missed Halloween, but I will do some back blogging….soon.
I did want to pose this precious pic of my cutie patootie. He brought this home from school. How did they get him to take such a cute pic? I’m jealous! What has this tooter been up to? Well, he’s been pretty sweet the last few weeks, which has been a blessing. For a few weeks he was a bit of a handful. We’re working through it together. He is very opinionated. He now likes to pick things out. We always let him pick out his pj’s because well, that’s an easy one. It is a little harder when he wants to pick out his regular clothes. I didn’t realize this would start so soon! He is saying some of the funniest things. He seems to answer everything…yeah…ok. Not sure why he doesn’t just say yes! When you ask him if he’s okay, he says….yeah…I’m ok. Makes me laugh. He’s a mess. A sweet mess.
Well, you know we’re still alive and well. Maybe one day I’ll get caught up and back on track. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the Christmas spirit!
