Date Nite

Tonight, Walker asked me out on a dinner date.  He wanted some time on our own and was fairly insistant that I wear a skirt.  He was also very excited by the idea of dressing himself for the evening out - which he did all on his own.  Here we are leaving the house for the Olive Garden.

Spring Break in the 'Hood

Bedtime Book

Every night for five plus years, we've snuggled in bed with Walker and read a book or five before turning out the lights.  Last night, he wanted "Market to Market" - always a favorite.  Walker is now spelling out the words and he even can sound a few out too!  We're so proud of our reading (almost reading) boy!

Charlie's Rocking Horse

Charlie has had a doozy of a week. He's had lots of little seizures and also been fighting off a cold.  Poor sweet kiddo.  But the mood changed today - he was upbeat, engaged, clear of seizures and snot and feeling like a million bucks.  Just before bed, we had some play time on his ricking horse!  He was a happy cowboy.

Classroom Campfire

Walker's teacher sent this to me on Friday.  

They were having a "camp out" and Walker insisted on tending the fire.

...and here's one more!

The First of March

This week, I finally pulled out the scissors and gave Walker and Charlie each a hair cut.  Nothing spectacular - just a nice crop so that I can see their pretty faces.  Here are some photos of the boys playing at the park this afternoon:

Rocket to the Moon

Miss Laurie, Walker's preschool teacher, snapped this photo last week of Walker and his friend Alex pretending to be astronauts.  Here they are in their homemade rocket ship!
