Green Day

Walker has not been happy that Daddy is away for the week. And I think this displeasure is showing up as short but inflammatory fits. So today I vowed to keep the kid busy, happy and well rested. We began our morning at our favorite down town park. Walker has had the sniffles and a light cough for a few days, so when we returned home, I gave him a small dose of Children's syrup to help him sleep. After a three and a half hour nap, we headed back down town for a trolley ride and dinner for two. No tantrums, no tears, no problem.

This is what Walker made yesterday.

When I asked him for a title, he said "orange train". Its now framed and hanging in our living room.

Sunday in the Park with Walker

Walker and I had a lovely Sunday to ourselves. We played in the park this morning and then found some Mexican food for lunch. Walker ate an entire bowl of guacamole with a spoon and then decided to have a chip to wash it down. After an early afternoon nap, we spent the hours before dinner making a little good old fashioned art. After our painting foray, we washed off all the goo, wrestled into some clean clothes and are now happily watching "WALL-E" over a bowl of grapes. Happy boy, happy mama. (PS to Jack and Betsy: Notice the focused tongue shot at the bottom. Haha!)

Full House

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hanging out with one of Walker's best buds, Camdyn. She and Walker got into all sorts of mischief. About half-way through Camdyn's stay, we were joined by Miss Mackey. Walker was so excited to play host to his girlfriends!

Getting Around

Walker's two favorite forms of transportation: Daddy's shoulders and the stroller.

Party Time!

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday party today with all of Walker's buds. We played, sang, enjoyed some mini cupcakes and fed the ducks! Thank you to EVERYONE who came and celebrated with us!
