Rollin with my friends

Nick got a cold this week so he was irritable (to put is nicely), that was until he saw the buggy! Then he was sooooo nice... He got to hitch a ride with his friends around the lake with Miss Lori.

Rolling with his friends

Nick loves to go to the lake by the daycare after we pick him up. Lots of ducks and birds, and of course the water. The daycare is right next to the lake and Nick wishes he was on the other side of the fence sometimes. The flight pattern for Sky Harbor must be above the daycare as well as there are always planes flying over.

Can I play?

Water play

With the summer coming (or here depending on how you look at it) the grass gets to drink again. Nick gets in on the action since the pool isn't quite ready to be swum in.

Busy week

So March ended with a bunch of activities and a good milestone.

The milestone is that Nick went to the potty multiple times, going both pee and poop, yeah team. He tells us when he went to the bathroom as well and wants to be changed. A long road ahead but it is a start.

The busy was Nick got a cold with a cough, ultimately nothing wrong and he recovered pretty quick but we got a weigh in of 25lbs 13oz. He seems like he weighs 50lbs but that is just mom and I.

Nick got to fly his first kite and he loved it. First attempt was with very little wind and lots of running from mom and dad.

Nick was indeed flying the kite himself. He likes to tug on the string (kite's don't like that so much).

We also went to the Tempe Festival of Arts which was okay, nothing special this year. Great weather though so that was good.

Finally, Mom and Dad took a ride in the miata to Tortilla flats by Canyon Lake. Great drive and pretty good food, a nice little trip.

Easter at Grandma's

We went over to Grandma's for Easter and hung out with Dixie and Don, Herb and Bev and Grandma and Grandpa. Nick had a good time finding eggs and playing with the puppy. We also had a good dinner, with dessert.

Nick's shades

Today was the first time Nick ever kept his sunglasses on for more then 5 minutes. In fact it was almost the whole day at the zoo. Below is Nick wondering why dad is bothering him during reading time.

What do you want, Buzz is saving the world.

Nice picture of Nick and Mom.

Spring fling

Yesterday was the Spring fling at daycare. Nick got to hunt for eggs and eat outside. He did really well with the egg hunt and filled up his bag quick.

Water and Ice store

Nick was quite a helper today. He first helped dad with the oil change and then he had to go to the store to get some water. Mom and dad tagged along.

The payoff, who knew they had ice cream there?

I don't really think I am in charge, I have two bosses.

Orange Gorilla

Orange gorilla you ask? Only in the Valley of the Sun(s). We got Nick a orange gorilla from the Suns shop (half off deal of the game - so good we got a black one too). Needless to say he liked it.

Hang on gorilla!

Nick offering his hand to the Duck to lick

Or so he thinks it will happen. That is how it works with the dogs so why wouldn't it work with the ducks? The ducks must be shy since they never come up and lick his hand.

Toddler Property Laws

I saw this hanging up in the toddler room next to Nick's room at daycare. I have to say that I had a very good laugh while reading it (especially #3).

*Note: May seem funnier to those with toddlers...

Aaron's Wedding

Here is a picture of Jen and I at Aaron's wedding. Very nice wedding and a beautiful night. The fireplace came in handy as it got a bit chilly. Photographic proof that mom and dad clean up well Nick.
