Just a few photos

Morning smile.


Still amazed that toddlers can squat and play like this. This is Boyd's new favorite toy. He loves the pegs.


Trying to do a somersault while holding the swiffer.

Obsessed with his firetruck too.






Elmo is helping him clean (Elmo's fur can collect the dust).


Boyd's getting a lot more hair. Here he is showing us his ear.













Boyd is growing taller. I found this out the hard way as he can now reach further onto the table. This week he stole 2 cookies from a cooling rack and this bag of goldfish. I think part of the reason he dumped them out was because he wanted to pick them back up and put them in the bag. Not to mention this also brought his beloved vacuum out.









Boyd and I went to Borders during the rain storm which turned into tornadoes. Boyd was a wild man (whose brilliant idea was it to have so many toys at the books store). We settled on this bus book for weathering the storm.












It actually has wheels.






That a Boyd!

Vehicle Day!




Garbage truck!

Farmer Boyd on his John Deere tractor.




Mail Delivery.

On the big cheese wagon (that's what Adam calls the bus).





Some kind of big bulldozer (I think). Mom needs to do some vehicle research so she doesn't just categorize them as tractors.







When I asked Boyd what his favorite part of Vehicle Day was he said, "Bus". Sorry Garbage truck, the bus won. I had an inkling since Boyd kept running to the bus cutting in line to try to get on board. I'm not ready to send him to school yet, so for now we'll just watch the buses drive by in the neighborhood.

Snuggles and smiles at the end of the day.

Good Morning! Wearing Daddy's shirt.

A Morning at Drace Park

Boyd would spend all day outside if I let him. We are currently on a tour of parks around the St. Louis area. Today we visited Drace Park. Boyd joyfully pranced around like he owned the place and made mom's heart stop several times as he tried to complete big kid tasks on the playground. These photo's were taken prior to many mom saving swoops. Steps are of interest, yet Boyd has no interest in crawling up them. He'd much rather take them one at a time with large scissor steps while mom holds on because his body is pretty much horizontal to the ground-yikes. Enjoy the pictures. Did I mention we love Spring adventures.
The first photo is of Boyd being semi safe attempting to climb the stairs.

One of the Boyd faces that makes us laugh and laugh.











Swinging with a smile.



Early literacy all the way.
















Roaming the grounds.

The fun day was fueled by a yummy breakfast.
