Hide and Seek with Cooper

This has become part of our bedtime routine. So fun!

More dancing!

Let the brotherly good times begin!

This is ok, right?

 

At the end of the video you can hear Mason saying to Winston, "I'm not your food, I'm not your food!"

The Latest Mason Quotations

That nurse sting-ed me! I didn’t want that to happen!

(through tears, after getting booster shots)

Boys have a penis. I don’t know what that is!

(While taking a shower with Mommy)

The full moon is broke-ed! (looking at a Crescent moon)

I missed daddy last night.

       Why did you miss Daddy?

Because I love him and I wanted him.

I want to do glue.

Mommy, I’m retired

Aww, if you’re really tired, just close your eyes for a little bit.

No Mommy, Retired. We don’t go to work and we need to go home. (on a Friday morning en route to big boy school)

Mommy, are you milking the baby?

(8 month old Cooper was sitting on Mommy’s lap, playing with cars.)

What do your kids learn at Daycare?

Here's what Mason learned...yay?

Warms a Mom's heart...

Hungry?

Ten minutes later and I can smell my son who is playing outside. I am sitting in the family room. Ga-ross.

Early Morning Dance Party

Mason calls this his Butterfly Song. Like everyone else, it takes my little guy a while to warm up to dancing. Second 54 however is worth the wait, in my mom opinion. PS-the diaper got changed after the dance party. 

Afternoon Conversations

I was not aware that we had a giraffe problem...

Dinnertime Discovery

I left the dinner table for all of twenty seconds and when I returned Mason asked, "Mommy, can I have that noodle?" He pointed to the inch long noodle that was in the middle of the table. "Hmmm," I thought, "How did that get there?" 

"Sure, Mason," I said, "You must be hungry!"

When I handed Mason the noodle he immediately jammed it into the bottom of his straw and proceeded to blow with all his might into the other end, launching the noodle back across the table. This was apparently the most fantastic thing in the world judging from the delighted laughter. It's amazing what an almost three year old can learn in twenty seconds.

After the launching episode, Mason discovered that straws still work the regular way, even when they aren't in a glass...

Pet Rocks

This project turned out to be a bit messier than I had originally planned. I also didn't realize that using regular paint instead of children's paint would be so challenging to get off of body parts. It's a good thing Mason didn't get too much paint on his hands, arms, legs, feet, face and hair :)

I watched this about five times in a row last night :)
