Wake up Jeff

Hayden's new favorite thing is learned from the Wiggles. He loves it when we pretend to sleep and then he says "1...2...3.... Wake up Jeff". Those of you who watch the Wiggles know what I am taking about. It is soooo funny. He also "falls asleep himself" and then pops up and yells "wake up Jeff". He is sooo silly. We all laugh and laugh and laugh.

Fun in the Sun

We had a great weekend. Saturday we went up to Waterloo to visit Joey's grandparents before they left back to Wisconsin. His grandpa is out of the hospital and doing great!
Joey's Grandma and I went to the yarn store in CF. Joey's Grandma is going to teach me how to knit.
We had a great Steak dinner and then headed back home. Hayden and I in the car, and Joey on the motorcycle. He is borrowing one from his Dad and is sooooo excited. He convinced me this was a good idea to save on gas money this summer. He is going to drive it to work. He also gets up close parking at work!
Sunday we measured the outside of our house and took pictures. We are finally going to get some landscaping done.
We got sand for Hayden's sandbox. He had a blast playing in it. He also played in a muddy puddle, learned how to spray the hose, and helped daddy wash the motorcycle. He had a bath BEFORE dinner last night!
We went back to the Dr. on Thursday and Hayden still had an ear infection. He said it was a sustaining infection, so the last round of antibiotics didn't take care of it. He is on a much stronger one now. Hopefully this takes care of it! He has been not feeling well for a month now! We go back in a week to make sure he is infection free!
This week we have Music, I have Bunko at my house, and we are hopefully having company this weekend!
Have a great week.

Honey

Our neighbor girls like to come over all the time to visit Hayden, and me. Monica (6), Marry Claire (4), and Caroline (2.5). Our neighbor says that Monica truly thinks of me as her best friend, and she would be over all day if she would let her.
Anyway, they come over all the time and ask if Hayden can play Honey. Monica is the Mom, Marry Claire is the other mom, and Caroline is the dog. Hayden is the Honey, as they call him, or the baby. It is soooo stinkin cute. He lets them push him around in a doll stroller and boss him around. I just love hearing them call him honey instead of baby.

This is driving me crazy!!!!!

Handy Hayden

Yet another reason I can not turn my back for even a couple of minutes while folding laundry.
When I walked out of the room, Hayden was dancing and clapping to his new favorite show..The Wiggles.
2 minutes later I came out to check on him, and was greeted by Hayden coming in from the porch, holding part of the back door in his hands. I went to the back door to see what happened, and was surprised to see that our little handy man had all of his plastic tools from his tool bench in a pile next to the back door. Somehow he got the hinge off the back door using his plastic tools.
At first I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I just started laughing, and laughing, and laughing so hard I was crying.

Big Boy Bed

We decided to convert Hayden's crib to the toddler bed. Over our last many weekends of sleeping away from home, we noticed he slept great in regular beds. We have been struggling with sleep in general at home since we got rid of the binky.
Sunday night he was very very mad to be back in his crib. So mad in fact he literally threw up all over his bed, blankets, stuffed animals, carpet, etc...
So at that moment Joey and I decided something needed to change. Joey gave Hayden a bath, and I started cleaning up the bedroom.
After his bath, Hayden pitched in with the transformation of his crib.
Once we had everything picked up and put back together we laid him in his "new" bed, tucked him in, and he fell right to sleep.
Nap time rolled around the next afternoon, he protested for 3 minutes by banging on his bedroom door, and then surrendered, climbed back into his bed, and crashed.
He now no longer protests at nap time, and we have not had an issue yet at bedtime. Which is awesome. He never cried when we put him to bed before we took the binky away. Since we took the binky away, he cried every time.
Now no crying again. That makes us all happy. Hopefully we have less crying now in his new bed!!!!

Giddy-up

Hayden inherited a new toy from his cousins. It is one of those spring horses. I thought maybe he would be a little cautious on this thing since it is so high up. Not our son. He goes to town on it. Grandma M already predicted that there will be some sort of injury on the horse. You can tell it is an older toy...they never would make a toy like this anymore. Exposed metal springs, no safety strap, way high off the ground. Makes you wonder how kids have fun anymore. :)

This makes my week

When I pick Hayden up on Monday's from PDO he is usually waiting for me in the window. I love seeing him get so excited when he sees me. Usually he and his friends all and pound on the window and wave. Today it was just him and his teacher. I love it!!!!
