GI Jane Day

    Today we had GI Jane for Aaron's work. We were asked to bring either a side dish or dessert, so I chose to make homemade red velvet cupcakes last night.

 So many ingredients.

Block City

    While Aaron was away in the field, Connor and I played with his blocks... A LOT! I thought it was funny that he loved to knock over anything that was stacked. And wouldn't just gently knock it over, he would swat at it until every last block was on the ground. He would play rough like a grown boy! I told Aaron about it, and he thought it was funny too. He told me I should build him a big city of blocks and let him go to town knocking them all over. I am not very imaginative when it comes to block stacking, so I told him I would just wait for him ;) So tonight after dinner, he kept his promise and built Connor his city.

 Creating the city.

You Wake Him, You Take Him!

   For the past week it has just been Connor and me at home. Aaron was away in the field, but came home late last night. I missed him a ton and couldn't wait to see him! I kept Connor awake so that he could see his daddy before he went to sleep too. We played and watched Oz the Great and Powerful to kill time before he came home. 

 He was acting silly before the movie.

Another Trip to Ikea

    I had another successful trip to Ikea today! One of my friends and I somehow fit all of our stuff in one basket (it was overflowing) and then got it all into my car. I didn't find everything that was on my list, but I got a few extra things... like a small table and chairs for Connor.

Playful

    I love that Connor still naps twice a day. He's a totally different toddler when he misses his naps. He fell asleep on me for a few minutes this morning, then took a 2 hour nap.

     After he woke up from his morning nap, around 10:30, he was in a very playful mood! We played with blocks in his room until he got bored. He loved dumping them all out on the floor. Anytime I tried to build something, he would knock it over. It became a fun game for him :)
