2 days til 9

Whoa.  My baby is about to turn 9 years old.  He is everything I thought he would ever be. Helpful, respectful, and still a Mamma's boy!!  His new favorite past time is watching youtube minecraft videos. It's not what I'd pick but then I spent hours in my closet playing with plastic horses growing up.



We are about to start 4th grade and it's a whole new school!  I'm nervous but trying not to let Wyatt know so he won't be nervous!!  Lucky for him all his friends will be there so the new school will be new to all of them.  Strength in peers!!!

Hadley is 19 months old! She is as different from her brother as any child could be!  She's a joy but she is an independent girl. Do it myself is her motto.  She's talking some but no long conversations.  Such a Daddy's girl!! Her 18 month stats were 29 lbs and 34 inches. She's tall.   Wearing a size 3t for the most part, and she still looks like me for the most part.  New phase she is in is a little hard for her brother to understand. .  she is constantly grabbing his arm and scratching him.  I think she's just trying to play with him but she no longer treats him like he's one of us. . . always picking on him.  It's going to be a long year I think lol.

We went to NRH20 this week and Hadley loved the slides!!!  Brave girl! I thought she and I would get to spend a lot of girl time in the little pools . . but no, she wanted to ride the slides with her Bubba and Daddy. . . and slide she did! No fear!



Saturday is Wyatt's birthday party.  Minecraft theme this year.  I'll come back and post pics!! Happy Summer everyone!

Naptime Protest

Hadley has hit the stage where she is very resistant to naptime. . . our normal day is this:
Wake up at 7, get Wyatt ready for 3rd grade (holy moly), Drop Wyatt off at 8 am. . . drive to Starbucks for a Tall Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, home by 8:30. . . play for an hour, then down for a nap at 9:30 with a bottle still. . . It's 10:51 now and she's still in there peeping.  Not crying. Peeping. . .

I'm thinking I may need to go intervene. . . again. . . for the third time. . .

Otherwise life with Hadley is a fun day everyday!! I've read back over how Wyatt was back at this age and they are so different!!  I did realize that we aren't doing as much new things with Hadley as we did with Wyatt. He had already been to the rodeo and loved it. . . so time for Hadley to get ready to go out! Spring is coming fast (I hope! Goodness it can't get colder than it has been!).  We are going to get a zoo pass with our tax return, also hoping to go to Great Wolf Lodge! Cross your fingers for us!!

Wyatt and Dad are gearing up for Baseball season!!!  This will be Wyatt's last season in 8U and that makes me very sad! He is growing up so fast!  He is loving 3rd grade. His biggest issue in school is that he understands assignments too quickly and therefore doesn't read the instructions completely! Small problem but we are working on slowing down!!  His favorite things in life are Minecraft. . . baseball, and MOM still!! LOVE that since Miss Hadley is firmly entrenched in the Dad camp.  She loves her Daddy!!!  No time for Mom after Dad gets home!!!

Well naptime has finally fired!!  It's 11:10 and there is SILENCE!!  She will sleep until 2 now and then it's time to go get her brother from school!!!

That's better! Hi Piper!!

Let My Piper IN!
