Cupcakes and Commentary

So A and his cousin J have had at times a “strained relationship”, haha. They are very close in age (9 months apart), which means that they are a bit competitive for the same attention, reach milestones at similar times, and tend to bug each other at times. However, my sister and I have noticed [...]

Celebrating with a birthday bagel on his birthday day October 16th. I’ve been meaning to complete this for awhile, but kept getting sidetracked with other posts, so better late than never! A compilation of things that A is into, accomplished, and looking forward to at the sweet age of 3. A weighs in at 29.6 [...]

I wasn’t kidding when I said A really did not want to dress up for Halloween. Here is his first costume: I could hardly get him to keep the sticker on. So imagine how it was trying to get him into the next costume: He has the roar of the dinosaur down well. The only [...]

So two weeks ago when A was right in the middle of his ear infection that we had started treating, but before we knew we were going to have to start new antibiotics, he and I were spending quite a bit of time at home. I found these pictures on my Ipod the other day [...]

Close to the last day of each month at A’s preschool they dress up in the color they learned that month. Today was Orange Day. A was not so excited about wearing the little orange and brown plaid shirt I had for him to wear (he thought it was a jacket, and he is revolting [...]

The past two years with A we have headed out to one of the large farms on the out skirts of our city to pick a pumpkin. A usually liked part of it, but for the most part would seem overwhelmed. I have found that doing things on a smaller scale work better for him. [...]

On Monday the 17th my husband and I took cupcakes up to A for his party celebration at preschool. He was quite subdued about the whole affair, but I know he enjoyed getting to have a cupcake in the middle of the day, and everyone singing. Enjoying his cupcake!

I cannot believe A is three! Despite having to go on a new round of antibiotics the night before his party, A’s birthday party turned out great, and we had a good time celebrating with the family! Up first, pin the eye on the monster… Then, presents…because A could NOT wait any longer. A’s shirt [...]

I fear I am reverting back to my posting methods from a few months ago. However, our last week has had some unforeseen issues, bumps, and viruses, etc. A started running a fever last week and was complaining of ear pain. I took him in to the doctor to find out it was only viral [...]

Even after all this time, A still loves his bunny. So much so that when I was doing a little practice session for A’s three year pictures, he wanted to bring the bunny. Then A did a few donkey kicks while bunny watched from his seat on top of the grill. Such a ham.
