Fun with Henry

Our daycare was closed on Friday so Alex got a day to reunite with his buddy Henry. I think the boys were happy to see each other again as you can see here.

Change Can Be Good

Today completes week 2 at our new daycare. We were sad to leave our friends Henry and Heidi but it has worked out well for everyone. Henry gets to spend some extra needed time with just his mom and Alex gets to play with a great group of new friends. Despite a bout of strep throat last weekend, he has been all smiles over his new daycare and we frequently hear the words, "More Michelle's house." The biggest struggle has been convincing Alex to leave in the afternoons! He loves playing with new friends, new toys, and doing fun activities like coloring, cutting, singing songs, and going on field trips during the day. He has especially bonded with a little boy named Carson. We are very thankful to have found a great place for our little guy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Alex was one popular little valentine. He was showered with endless cards, candy, and gifts from friends and family. He is one loved little boy who has now learned to love chocolate.

Super Bowl

We enjoyed our own little Super Bowl party yesterday, complete with pizza and Packers! We were excited to watch the Pack take home the victory!

Feeding Rosco

Alex LOVES having the job of feeding Rosco. He can't quite say "Rosco" but calls him "Yoscar" and just about every time we are in the kitchen he asks, "Yoscar food?" If it were up to Alex, Rosco would eat about 12 times a day.

Step 1: Roll over the food

Step 2: Open and scoop
Step 3: Dump

Step 4: Repeat as many times as necessary. Could be

2 scoops, could be 17, as shown in picture below.

Step 5: Tell yourself, "Good job!"

Step 6: Wait 30 minutes and ask Mom, "Yoscar food?"

Shoveling and Painting

We had a relaxing weekend at home. Alex helped Dad shovel the drive-way and then tried out water color painting for the first time. He did an excellent job with both activities.
