Sweetness in a Different Way...
Being that Hunter is 19 months old I never know what to expect when he is around other children let alone babies. Wayne and I are constantly redirecting behavior and reminding him to be gentle. The reality of the situation is that he is not old enough to know that his actions could hurt someone else, or understand that other children have feelings. In the end, he tends to be sweet but in a different way, like using Brooke's head as a road. He was being sweet, and gentle and playing with her in his own way. The best part about Hunter is that he is a lover and he loves to hug and kiss. For now, it works and he is learning.........

Schedules
As a child development major and a soon to be teacher I know the importance of not only following schedules but providing the little guy with meaningful experiences, stimulating activities, and most of all the chance to play and explore. Just like every other child in this valley , Hunter has a ton of toys that are overlooked because of the amount of toys in the toy box. My goal is to run our afternoons much like a preschool with indoor play, nap time, outdoor play, etc. This week I have been working on bagging toys together to bring out at appropriate times (cars, play-do, musical instruments,Lego's, coloring, puzzles). I have noticed that Hunter tends to enjoy the toys more, and he loves to help clean up when we are done playing. With the new baby on the way, I am determined to find a schedule that works for Hunter and I but will also allow the flexibility needed when the baby comes. Wayne goes back to work next week and I am going to give our new schedule a whirl to pass the time while he is at work. In the mean time we will continue on with our morning schedule which includes a lot of playtime with daddy .
I will keep you posted.......

Conversation with Emma
At Walmart today while standing in line to check out.....
(I am telling you that she is too smart for her own good, she is only four)
Emma: (looking at the magazine stand) Is that Obama's girlfriend?
She walks over to the stand and points at President Obama and Michelle Obama
Me: No, that is his wife....
Emma: Well, when are they going to get married?
Me: They already are....
Emma: Ohhh

Gone Cruising
Another Haircut
This little guy desperately needed a haircut, and the timing was perfect with our trip around the corner. Hunter was less then happy about this haircut and was grunting loudly at Barbie while she cut his hair.
Hunter telling Barbie in sign language that he is "all done" even though she had just started.
Now you can really see his bruised forehead
High and tight, just the way Wayne and I like it.
