fwee

Our firstborn is soon to be "fwee" and it's pretty darn adorable.  (and sometimes not adorable at all.  Like when I say "turn around and sit down in that chair!" as he's in time out in the highchair, and he responds, lickety-split "YOU tun around and sit down! HAHAHA!!"  Not adorable.)

Ain't nobody in this house got time for a full-out pinterest birthday party or anything, so we're keeping it simple, but it's going to be great.

That squishy face tells all!

We're trying to convince him that when he's three, he won't wear diapers anymore.  He's totally on board, but I know he doesn't realize what this means or how soon this will begin.  But MOSTLY I think, "Ali, you're seriously setting yourself up for some high expectations of totally saying goodbye to diapers.  This could be ugly for Y-O-U!"

Potty training.  How does one do this???????

 We went to eat with Per at work friday.  AND BEHOLD, GREEN GRASS.  Really, it took until May to feel like spring and for all the snow to melt (and it all melted this fast ONLY because it rained for like 5 days straight last week).  That has made 4+ months of straight-up hibernation.  Well I declare this family un-hibernated.

 (we eat Kale salad.  And seriously, it was really good)

 And we are out on our bikes & playing catch at the park to celebrate this sunshine goodness!

 Here's a really good shot of me and Hank.  (And our sweet bike trailer, which I love love love)

 Wade made a "cake" on the frisbee, and didn't think there was a need to pretend, so he just went for it, taking a couple of handfuls into his mouth.  Gritty teeth ensued.  Gross!!!!  

But I'll still kiss him on the lips :)
