The Saddest boy in the World

Lil G had a rough evening.  He ate a delicious dinner and had a small treat and then wanted another treat.

Wii!

 This week, we introduced Lil G to the wonders of the Wii.  We had multiple rainy days, where we were stuck inside so Greg and I decided to let Lil G get out some of his energy through Wii bowling. He is really great at the game! He is actually better than me.  It's nice that we have something to help the little man get out excess energy during the coming winter months.

Festival of Trees

This weekend, I took Lil G to the festival of trees, so that Greg could continue to work on our basement, in order to prepare for baby Minnow.  We were blessed enough to go with good friends, J, N and G.  The festival was fun, though a little overwhelming (especially with four kiddos).  The kids had a good time looking at the trees and Lil G got his very first balloon "animal" (which was actually a balloon hat).  And, the best part was that Greg and his friend were able to get a lot of the basement done!!

Snacktime!  J, G, N and Lil G!

And here is the super cute centerpiece that I got!  I am loving it!

Wordless Wednesday

Sympathetic pregnancy

Today, da mama had a doctor's appointment to check on Lil Minnow.  Lil G and Greg came, so that they could see the baby too.  Lil G wasn't terribly interested in the sonogram but did love seeing the pictures shoot out of the machine. 

 
After that, Lil G got to spend some time with his Opa and Gogie.  When he came home, he spent a lot of time showing mama his new bunny ears.









He then decided to show mama where he keeps HIS baby (he is having quite the sympathetic pregnancy).

 "Look mama!  My baby wear bunny ears!"

 

Lil G, the photographer

Lil G loves it when we take his photo.  "You take my picture, mama?"  And, we love the fact that he is still very natural in front of the camera (not cheesing it up, like so many toddlers).  On Saturday, he politely asked if he could take pictures with our nice camera.  Greg and I were a little hesitant but he did a very good job of using the camera without putting his hands or fingers on the lenses.  Here are a few of his fabulous photos!

Zebra Hat!

A few days ago, I let Lil G look at hats online with me.  I was trying to let him pick a winter hat and told him that he could pick from the frog, the zebra or the raccoon hats.  He immediately decided that the zebra hat was the one for him.  I told him that I would order it for him and thought that was that.  Now, I know kids.  I know them pretty well, in fact.  Why I thought that the lil man would understand the concept of ordering something, I'll never understand. 

Lil G spent the rest of the afternoon looking in the dryer over and over.  And over. And over.  Again.  He apparently believes that the dryer is where online hats are delivered.


Needless to say, that evening, I ran out to the store to buy him the hat.  I didn't want to keep repeating the same scenerio.  He adores his new hat and wears it all the time.  And, he looks pretty cute in it, if I do say so myself.
