Been sick!

My son got sick last week and I got sick midweek. He's starting to feel better but I woke up today feeling horrible! Looks like it will be another indoor weekend for us. I can only wish we are both better tomorrow for Mother's Day.

Big Donald's

Ok, this is totally random but it's funny so I wanted to get it written down. My son doesn't say McDonald's, he says Big Donald's. I wonder at what age will he figure out the real name.

Wall Art

Yesterday my son had another first... First time using markers on doors and walls. Most of it was on his bedroom door (which was easy to clean off since it is oil-based paint) and featured Mickey Mouse and letters of my son's name. On the wall in his room he drew an "A" which we weren't able to get off and my husband claims he's going to keep there until our son is a teenager and then he'll tell him to paint over it. We'll see if that happens! Too bad we aren't in prehistoric times so that toddler wall art would be appreciated.

Latex

About a week ago, I found Mickey Mouse latex balloons on eBay. They have his face on them and the balloons have ears. I bid on them and won them for Rohan but he caught me while I was bidding on them. Ever since he saw the photo of them on eBay he's been asking if he can have the "latex." He is so into balloons that he knows the different types. Each day he has made me take him to the mailbox to show him if they have been delivered or not. I tell him they haven't been delivered but he has to see for himself. Everytime the dog barks, he asks it it is the mailman with his latex.

Fourth Birthday Coming Up!

My son's fourth birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I've been spending time looking for and buying items for his Mickey Mouse birthday party. I found some really great deals on the Disney shopping site and on ebay.com. He's going to get some big suprises for his birthday! I can't wait to see his reaction when he opens his presents.

Also, he will be starting PreK in August. We went to his open house on Wednesday and now he has a cold. Not looking forward to him getting more colds because of people letting their sick kids go to school.

He now can color very well and stay almost all the way in the lines. He's learned to write and spell his name. He loves drawing me Mickey and Minnie.

I've just recently started scrapbooking again. I was in a creative slump for several months. I hope I continue to feel creative and keep up with documenting things on this blog.

It's been a while

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to post. Such is the life or a working mom! We are going to be going on a cruise in a month so we are very excited about that. I’ve been spending some time planning our shore excursions and trying to make the best choice for my son so that he isn’t stuck sitting in a bus for a long amount of time, bored out of his mind. I’m really looking forward to this vacation and I’m excited that my son will already be visiting other countries and he’s only 3.

My son’s infatuation with balloons continues. He is also a politically-minded toddler and recently those two things have crossed paths. Last year I was avidly campaigning locally for Ron Paul’s Presidency and I took my son to Ron Paul events. Because of this exposure he started getting excited whenever he saw Ron Paul’s photo and would start yelling “Ron Paul! Ron Paul!” Unfortunately, Ron Paul didn’t get the Republican nomination and has since then been pretty much out of the spotlight. Now my son is backing Barack Obama. When we ask him Barack Obama or John McCain, he emphatically replied “Rock Obama!”  When he sees John McCain on TV he yells “No John McCain!” This weekend he was asking for a Barack Obama balloon. I wish I had one to give him, but I don’t think they even make those!

He also still asks for a new green Mickey Mouse balloon. This is the balloon we bought him at Disney on his birthday four months ago. It’s so cute because I’ll explain that we are going on a cruise ship soon and we are saving money for that and then maybe a month or two after that we can go back to Disney and get a new green Mickey Mouse balloon. He’ll patiently listen and wait for me to get done explaining and then immediately he’ll say “I want a new green Mickey Mouse balloon.”

Lollipop Clouds

I haven't had a chance to Blog in a while. Things have been busy and last Saturday our dog was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor. She is going to have it surgically removed on Thursday. :( A few weeks ago I was explaining to my son the rain cycle, in simple terms. When I was done telling him that when the rain in the clouds gets too heavy, it drops the rain he looked at me with a twinkle in his eye and said "Lollipop clouds!" I laughed and said that although that is a great idea there are no clouds that drop lollipops everywhere. :) A couple of nights ago he came up with a new game and was cracking himself up playing it with me. He'll say "Eat" and then a food name and then he'll take pretend bites from my hand or my cheek.
