Summer Fun!

I am actually doing it.....a monthly post before the very last day of the month! Mason is now sleeping in a toddler bed (well, the crib with the front rail removed). He decided to start crawling out (and then back in) the crib on his own. We feared bruises and broken bones, so we had to do something different.

For the most part Mason sleeps through the night. HOWEVER, he is an early bird!! It doesn't matter how early or late this kid goes to bed....it is a miracle if we get him to sleep until 6am. He is usually awake for the first time by 4:30 am or 5 am, but we tell him "Mason, it's night-night, go back to sleep". We then hope and pray he falls back asleep until at least 6 am. His bedtime is 8 pm, but even if he's up later it has zero influence on his awake time.

Nana Jeanette and I took Mason and cousin Dawson to a Day Out With Thomas yesterday. I must say, the events of the day are still fresh in my mind. Beautiful day and thankful for the time with family. BUT, let's just put it this way..... If you were there and noticed a precious little boy using the bubble wand as a bat, throwing a FIT when he had to leave the bounce house and slide, sitting in time-out next to a tree behind the bounce house and then another time-out in one of the Johnny On The Spot's (yuck by the way) and then the grand finale.....a MAJOR breath hold under the tent while waiting on Thomas' arrival......it wasn't Mason. Ok, it might have been Mason. ;o)

Riding the train....status post breath hold

Sharing his water with the Llama....
Petting the goats....Mason LOVED the bounce house...Climbing up to go down the slide..... Big D "trying" to take charge of Mason.... Big D, Mommy and MasonMason's Thomas Hat from his Cogswell buddies Big D and Mason.... Mason and Big D ready for take off....Mason and his baseball glove....

Nap Time!

Sounds like your household is a lot like ours...nearing the terrible 2s. Seen a lot of tantrums lately (or should I say HEARD a lot). Kate is a climber too and I worry if we will not be able to do the pack-n-play much longer when we go places. She mostly jumps and body slams in her crib (laughing the whole time).

I love all the pics of Mason. His hair looks like it is getting thicker. Laughed at the pic of him wearing your shoes;)

He is so precious...even if you holds his breath and throws a fit. :)
