this week

***

Today Paxton had a hard time going to nursery again. I know he loves it there and he needs to be around other kids more often so I really try to get him in there and leave but the problem is that he knows that I will be taking off. The second we get in the room he latches onto my leg and just cries "Whyee (Whitney), eeees, no" so I have to try to calm him down and tell him that he needs to play with the other kids. Well today I figured out how to make him happy... We started off with the crying and at one point the light bulb got really bright in my head (its always on) and it occurred to me he would probably be brave if they needed his help. So I explained to him that there were a lot of babies in there just like Gauge and that the teachers needed his help taking care of them. AS SOON as I explained this to him, he quit crying and got really serious. I asked him if he could be brave and he nodded and then he stood there and wouldn't cry while I left him....I had to be the most proud mom seeing my child act like that as soon as he realized his help was needed. What a good boy!

The boys were really cute this week, Gauge hit a few milestones (in my book). He can stand in the jumper and keep his head up while he bobs up and down a bit, it is really cute. We also pulled out the high chair so I had to get a picture of him in it. Paxton is really getting tired of the camera which is really hard for me! It is getting harder and harder to get him to smile for me and now he has a really fake smile that I can't stand!! This first picture is one of many that I took, but its the one where they both actually smiled.

Here we got to bake some cookies, he poured all of the ingredients and helped me stir

He WAS sitting up, he is on his way down now

First time in his big boy highchair

Just a cute shot, I love him in these sweats!

In the jumper and LOVING IT!

It snowed this week and the haze is gone so even with the snow on the ground we had to pull out the mumm mumm (motorcycle-tricycle) It was so beautiful outside!
