Almost time!

It is almost time for our trip to Disney. Hayden is so excited. We made a calendar to count down the days (and to work numbers). He has been saving change that we have given him. He has gotten a lot from others too. He loved putting money in his storm trooper bank. We took it to the bank and emptied into their machine. It took forever. The hole in his piggy bank is so small. Anyways Hayden had $60! I am sure he will easily spend it while down there.

Morton Fallys Boyce Mayview Park

This is an old post. Almost a month old... After a few days of rain the weather cleared up and was warm. We decided to go see some falls with our friends. We went in the morning so Amelia would be awake. It was still chilly then but warmed up by afternoon. Amelia did great in the backpack and Hayden enjoyed walking around. He stepped into a deep pile of mud and fell. He was not happy. Amelia eventually fell asleep in the backpack. I was surprised. She never sleeps in the car or anything. We had a good time, mud and all.

Things to remember about Hayden

Hayden says some pretty random things or funny things. I need to write them down here so I remember them. Here are just a few:

"I love nipples and boobies."

"I want to talk at church." when asked why he said "I want to say that Nathan's butt stinks."

"you want a piece of meat" (instead of do you want a piece of me)

He told me this crazy story how Aunt Hillary is going to buy wings. And he is going to fly really high up to God. Then he is going to trap Dia (my mom's dog that died) because he doesn't want to have to hold her(since he is scared of dogs). Then he will bring her back to Grandma. Totally weird.

He likes to look at pictures of disney world. He saw a picture of a girl with tinkerbell. He said I don't want to see that big tinkerbell. I want to see the real one, the little one.

He does not like when we say "Aunt" so and so. He gets upset and tells me they are not buggies!

Basically everything is pee pee and butts right now. He is such a boy.

He goes thru the drawers in the bathroom and pulled out some eye shadow and said "teach me to wear make up mommy". Then begged to have his toes painter for over a week. So I painted them metallic purple :)



But he also has said many sweet things:

Mommy when I get bigger I will still love you and give you hugs and kisses.

He always randomly tells me he loves me.

If someone says that Amelia is theirs, he says No Mia is MY baby sister (with a cute lisp)

He says a prayer for a his old teacher that is sick (then says he is sick and we need to pray for him)


Some other things to remember:

He is still getting foot cramps in the middle of the night. He hadn't had them in awhile and now he has had them the past 2 nights.

He is letting me read more and more to him. That makes me happy.

He loves playing with my ribbon stash. He ties things up with them. One day my mom was babysitting him. A few days later i found a bunch of belts in our playroom. He stole all of her belts to play with.

He has a great sense of direction. He knows how to get to many places (which causes some crying if its not where he wants). he randomly pointed out where my moms house was one time when we were on campbells run road. Then showed me where Aunt Renee's house was. it was weird.

He still loves looking at pictures.

His favorite ipad app is a disneyland tour one. He is so excited for this vacation.

He likes to show you his "trick". He lifts one leg up near his butt. He thinks it is so tricky.

When it rains he gets excited and tells me that the waterfalls will have water now!

He got his head stuck in a chair at church.

He Dressed up as a princess with Kennedy on Easter. Then came to show me and did the most dainty twirl to show me that I have ever seen. I am not worried. The boy is so rough and tough most times.

Is still scared to pee in public restrooms. I think it is the automatic flushers. He started to pee his pants in walmart one day b/c he didn't want to go there. So I forced him to go in. He was screaming at the top of his lungs over and over. I made him stay. He started to pee but wouldn't pee in the toilet b/c he didn't want it to flush. He peed all over the floor and the wall. He even kept trying to pinch his privates to make it stop. Mike said the entire store could hear him screaming. Not sure what we are going to do about peeing when in Disney.

Easter festivities

We had a busy Easter weekend.

It started with an Easter Egg hunt in Sewickley with some friends...


Then later Hayden and I dyed eggs while Amelia napped.



On Saturday we had Easter dinner with my family at Hillary's house.


On Easter morning we opened baskets...

Hayden loves kit kats and reese cups. But seemed most excited for the dollar paints he got. But he did love everything and it was fun to watch him. Amelia was screaming for her snacks.

Later that day we visited my cousins and Pap and Ava



We also had to take a picture of Amelia in this little outfit. We have one of Hayden in it at 6 months. It was a little small but still cute.



Here are the rest of the pictures. We hope you and your family had a nice Easter.

Siblings

I love these pictures of Hayden and Amelia. I know they won't always get along but i hope they will have a good relationship when they are older. Or at least tolerate each other ;)
