Fly Away With Me

I eat my words.

I actually enjoyed making an airplane for my dude to take to M.D.O. 
It's been a while since I pulled out a can of spray paint and enjoyed cutting up a card board box.

It was oddly therapeutic.

My very literal first born is too much like his mamma for his own good. He was not about wearing the airplane at the parade. He was convinced that he was going to 'take off.' 

The conversation went like this:
n: I don't want to wear it.
m: Why?
n: I will take off and start flying around and I don't know how to land the plane. I am not a pilot.
m: It's not a real plane. It doesn't really fly.
n: Is it pretend?
m: Yes, it's just pretend.
n: But I saw the puh-pell-a's spin.
m: Just because they spin doesn't mean that the plane will fly away.
n: I'll just not wear it in case it flies off. Ba-member, I told you I don't know how to land?
m: Yes, I REmemeber. But, remember that I told you it isn't real?
n: Okay. I'll not flap the wings, just in case.

And so he didn't.

Parking Enforcer, Kayt.

It didn't last long. 
This is how he spend the rest of the parade. 

They are so sweet together. 
Noah is her keeper.  

This is what you get when you have an independent seventeen month old who would rather watch the fish than take a picture and a brother who thinks she's crazy.

Once at home, he was ready to soar.

She's her daddy's daughter. 
Bad habits starting early.

Your babies are very cute! Do you think the small group that you were telling me about that mostly haven't had kids yet still has some space? There is a couple that I do Epicenter with that might be interested. I don't think the other couple I was thinking of that has a daughter is really all that interested, but thank you for being so willing to accommodate them! If you would rather email me that write on my blog, I am

What sweet babies you have! Great job on the airplane--although I think you made it a little too realistic for Noah!
