I don't want to go!!

This week has been a very busy one for Vincent and I. We have been running lots of errands and going to lots of playdates. Well I think he is a bit worn out because this was my conversation with him tonight...
(Tracy) Do you know what tomorrow is?
(Vincent) I don't want to go to the park.
(Tracy) We are not going to the park tomorrow.
(Vincent) I don't want to go to the beach. (told him about vacation plans before bed)
(Tracy) We are not going to the beach tomorrow. Tomorrow is Easter!
(Vincent) I don't want to go to Easter.
(Tracy) Easter is when the Easter Bunny comes to our house and brings you a basket full of toys and candy.
(Vincent) I want to do that!
I love how his little mind works!

Visit to the St Louis Temple

We thought it would be fun to take Vincent to go see the temple one day. Although it was really hot we had a nice time. I tried to get a good picture of what I think is a hawk. Vincent really liked the water fountain. I think it is really funny in the pictures cause he looks like he is trying to control the water with his hands. We had a scary ride home. Vincent was in the back seat enjoying his raisins. We had to pull over fast because he decided it would be a good idea to put a raisin up his nose. It is very difficult to try and tell a screaming toddler to just blow his nose to get the raisin out. I thought we might have to take him to the emergency room. Well we finally got him to blow his nose and the raisin came right out. Needless to say, Vincent has not forgotten that and is no longer putting things in his nose.

They're Magically Delicious

 

Vincent loves to eat cereal and he loves marshmallows, so Lucky Charms cereal is one of his favorites. The other morning he told me he wanted to eat his cereal dry on the couch (he has to sit at the table if there is milk on it). I was busy doing some things around the house while he enjoyed his cereal on the couch. I went to check on him after a while and he was eating all the marshmallows and none of the cereal. I told him he was going to get sick if he just ate the marshmallows. He told me, "NO MOM! The marshmallows make me happy not sick". Hopefully the marshmallows have some vitamins and minerals too.

Costume trouble

 

 

 

Vincent loves Buzz Lightyear so I decided it would be fun for him to be Buzz for halloween. Vincent did not think so. Anthony thought it would help Vincent feel more comfortable if he put on the boots to the costume. It didn't help at all and when I tried to take them off they were stuck on his big feet. Of course I had to grab my camera and take pics. I did finally get the costume on Vincent but as you can see he was not very excited about the whole costume thing.

All in stiches

 

While I was at the Cards game with my Dad Anthony took Vincent to the playground at the school right by our house. Vincent tripped while climbing the stairs to the slide and his chin caught his fall. Anthony had to take him to the emergency room to get stitches in is chin. My mom went with them and kept Vincent entertained by blowing up the plastic medical gloves, thanks Mom. I have heard that chin stitches are pretty common for little kids, but I am so glad it happened while Anthony was around cause I would have been a nervous wreck. Vincent had fun telling everyone about what happened to his chin and was a real trooper through the whole thing.

Date with Dad

 

My parents came to visit us in September. I took my Dad to a Cardinals game for an early birthday present. We had a great time even though they lost.

Cardinals Game

This was Vincent's first Cardinals game. We had a lot of fun till we got rained on. Vincent had fun taking pictures of Anthony and I. Yes I had purple hair, it was fun for a while but too much maintenance. When the rain came and we were running to get back on the train Anthony and Vincent had to jump in the puddles. Vincent loves to ride on the train, I think that was more fun for him than the baseball game.

Slurpee Time

Vincent and I were in Virginia taking care of my sister after she had surgery. My nephew wanted to get some slurpees. Vincent would not let go of mine after one taste, he loved it. I think the cup was about as big as his head.

I won an award!

Ruby Red Slippers

 

 

 

 

We were having a hard time keeping Ginger from "tap dancing" on our wood floors, so I decided to get some dog slippers for her. It is much more quiet around here now. She is really good about keeping them on, but she looks like she is walking on hot coals when she wears them (it's really funny!).
