It has been SO warm here lately. I'm talking 80's...in March. This is awesome right now but it makes me a little nervous about June & July!
remember these AWESOME cankles circa 36 weeks with G?! Yeah. Me too, unfortunately. That's why I'm scared of the summer heat.
We've been playing outside for a few hours everyday. Grayson loves being outside & I love that about him. I hope he stays that way!
Everything makes Grayson's day...everything. And this face? This is what we get to see on a regular basis when he gets excited. I love it. This is what G did as he saw the school bus last week. The kid loves waiting for his friends after school!
Fun fact about yours truly: I don't do chalk. This whole chalkboard paint trend totally gives me the heebie jeebies. If you want to torture me, make me hold a piece of chalk. If you REALLY want to torture me, make me draw with chalk. I just got chills thinking about that. ew.
I decided to make homemade sidewalk chalk paint (thanks to Pinterest) on Saturday. All you need is water, cornstarch, food coloring, a brush, and coffee (for the mama).
Grayson was curious about the chalk paint for a little while. It was so much better than real chalk. However, when our neighbor came out to play basketball, all interest in chalk paint was over.
That chalk paint looks cool - Thatcher is just now getting into "art" :)
ReplyDeleteHe likes crayons at the moment - partially for drawing, partially for eating!
Love your non-chalk! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHis little red shoes are so sweet!
Laura- I actually meant to comment the other day about your nursery situation. From the little bit of reading I have done you may want to think about keeping G in his room and giving the new baby the "guest" room. I have read (and partially experienced with my niece) that the first child can have a sensitive time adjusting to a new baby and too much change at one time can set them back a bit. If G knows that as his room and then the new baby moves into it you could experience a "rift" and G could become SUPER jealous. I think it is AWESOME you are keeping him in his crib for a bit longer because I can tell you from experience...moving to a toddler or big bed can be stressful for some kids/parents even without a new baby. Just a little something I picked up along this crazy motherhood thing. I would just hate for G to feel like your "taking" his room away. But as a mom I also TOTALLY understand how easy it will be for you to "recycle" G's nursery! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard at "I don't do chalk". I actually don't get the chalk paint trend. I don't mind like sidewalk chalk, but do people remember how bad it was when your class had a blackboard?! I hated using that thing because of the dust! Now they want that in their house?? Don't get it.
