The toddler life right? Our weekend was full of eating, playing and sleeping. The pictures tell the stories best.....
EAT
Saturday morning Cole enjoyed a pop tart at the big table. We decided to try him at the table with a paper plate similar to how he eats at school. He did great!
Eli being silly at breakfast.
Cole loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with cheetos on the side.
Oh yeah, and a cookie for dessert. Sweet face!!
PLAY
Ryan came over to play with Eli Friday night and those boys were CRAZY!! Tim said they tackled and rough housed each other laughing like silly boys. When I got home from yoga, they were running around downstairs pretending to sword fight with foam.
Giving both my boys an old fashioned "airplane" ride.
Saturday afternoon we went to our friends, Dean & Sheila's, for their housewarming / Sheila's belated birthday party. This is their daughter Amanda - isn't she a cutie?! She started loving on Cole as soon as we walked in. It was adorable. She gave him several big hugs and stayed close. Guess I've got two Ladies Men on my hands!
Playing in the sandbox
Cole got in on the sand action too. Eli actually shared the toys with him.
Cole decided to try to climb up the little slide.
But he kept sliding back down.
The swing set got quite the workout. Eli had fun on the glider. Here he looks like he's trying to calm a bull or a horse. Whoaaaa Nellie!
Little boy joy
Cole also enjoyed swinging.
Their baby swing is different than ours and Cole loved the "lazy boy"ness of it. He just lounged back and ate his snacks.
One of their calmer (and sweeter) brotherly moments.
Mommy and her boys - self portrait. They're both little cyclops!
Sunday morning we met Ryan and Carol at the playground for some serious play time before the rain came in.
Cole is trying his best to hang with the big boys. He was able to climb this ladder to the structure.
I cannot believe how big these two have gotten. Such great buds - Eli & Ryan.
I love this picture. They explored a little in the woods together. Actually I think we went on a fake lost ball hunt. The ball was never lost - it was on the playground!
Dancing while making cookies with Mommy. And I just LOVE those little boxer briefs. So cute!
Halloween preview - since his birthday, all Eli has talked about is dressing up as Buzz Lightyear so we got him a costume. He loves to dress up at home so it will see LOTS of use.
Buzz Eli - wings and all. To Infinity and Beyond!!!
SLEEP
Eli in his new Monster Truck pjs. Change of season means change in clothes. Probably will have to do another pj fashion post soon!
Saturday afternoon nap - Eli & Buzz, sacked out.
Cole is such a great sleeper these days. He gets antsy when we're reading him stories so we ask him if he's ready for bed and he shakes his head Yes. Put him in his crib and he's done. Amazingly easy....for now!
So by the end of nap time, I guess Buzz had kicked Eli out of bed as I found him balled up on his floor.
Both boys were pooped out Saturday night after the party. Cole went to bed immediately upon getting home.
It was a busy fun weekend. I should probably take better lessons from the boys on the simple things in life - eat, play, sleep, repeat. Speaking of, time for sleep - I need to get my rear in bed. Hope you all had a great weekend!
