Playing With Markers

   Since I am home with Connor during the week and he is getting a little older, I thought it would be a good idea to start doing crafts with him during the day. With that on my mind, I was able to find a few things for him when I went shopping today. I bought washable markers, easy to hold crayons, a tablet, and a smock. I would also like to make him some edible finger paints once I find a recipe.

Our {Eventful} Day

Most days aren't this busy, but for some reason today was!

5:50 Aaron left for work.

6:00 Connor woke up, so I brought him into bed with me.

6:30 I decided to finally get out of bed after trying for 30 minutes to get him to go back to sleep. He was just way too hyper.

6:40 I took Kylie outside and then grabbed breakfast from the lobby. It takes me two trips when I have to carry Connor. He ate a whole blueberry muffin, a piece of a boiled egg, and cereal. I ate cereal, a bagel, cereal, and the rest of his boiled egg.

7:00 I started to get ready for the day. Connor played until it was his turn to get dressed.

His mean face that he does quite often these days.

Back To Our After Dinner Walks

     Aaron and I have always loved going on walks after dinner, and now that the weather has been warmer we were able to do that tonight. My little man loves the outdoors and Kylie loved being able to run around. 

On Call and After Dinner Walk

     Aaron left yesterday and is going to be gone for the entire week... again! This is the reason my mom came though. I am so happy she has been here to help me with Connor :)

    I got off work yesterday morning and took a nap until about 11:30. I stayed up with Connor and my mom for a little while before taking another nap at about 1. I knew there was a possibility I would have to go into work for mandatory overtime, so I needed to make sure I was well rested. I got a call at 5 from the charge nurse letting me know that I was on call for the rest of the night. I was so happy that I wasn't called into work right then. We picked up dinner at Sonic, played with Connor, and watched TV. It was very relaxing and just what I needed.

Daddy's Home and Family Time

      I had a long 3 days at work this week, but I knew Connor was in great hands with my mom. He was a very good boy for her, so that made this momma proud!

After Dinner

      After dinner we decided to go on a walk. Before we had Connor, we would go on walks all the time. It gives us a chance to catch up on what happened during the day and Kylie gets her exercise. Since Connor loves the outdoors, we figured he would like it. Well... he loved it!

On our way out the door.
