Wordy Wednesday

Somewhat Wordless Wednesday! The first is a picture of the boys disassembling Moses' crib. Last weekend I (yes I did it using all 16 pages of picture-only instructions by myself thankyouverymuch) assembled Mo's toddler bed and have slowly started transforming his nursery to a little boy's room. We were uncertain how the big move from crib to bed was going to go seeing how last time we tried it failed; we decided to leave the crib up as a backup for one week. I'm happy to report the transition has gone wonderfully; I truly think he wasn't old enough before that's why it was a constant struggle. This time around he has done well staying in his bed all night and will even stay tucked under the covers (babbling) until he falls asleep. After a successful first week we knew it was time to take down the crib. In true boy style Mosey copied everything Davy did and together they took it apart.

(So this is turning into Lots-Of-Words-Wednesday but I'll go with it)


These little moments happen all the time around the house and thankfully I was able to grab the camera and capture it. The boys are smitten by each other and spend most days making the other laugh. Moses was just about ready for bed before Davy started a game of Spitting Passies Into the Air and Catching them. If you're not a parent yet please don't think we're crazy; kids change you in the best ways possible.

Moses drops his fork.

Inspired by Pacing the Panic Room I wanted to shoot an almost silent video of Moses in his environment while we ate dinner. It was towards the end of dinner and I was afraid he wouldn’t want to participate. His beans were speared all over the table, yellow rice almost gone, and we turned to coaxing his with salsa as “dip” to finish the last bites. What happened next was something all the cookies, juice, and Mickey Mouse clubhouses in the world could not provoke.

Come, see the fruits of our labor.

We have taken so many little snippet videos of Moses the last 17 months and I’ve never posted any of them! Eventually I want to put them all together on a DVD to create a home video. I still love pulling out old videos when I was younger and watching life back then; I’m hoping the snippets all together will let Moses feel that same sense of nostalgia.

This one is showing off his dance skills. The arm quaking is a mixture of my bad dancing and Davy’s car arm bouncing to rap. The music you are hearing is a Disney music channel On Demand; I take zero ownership of it.



This is Sunday afternoon playing in our new pool. Please ignore my untanned skin and “spillage” (I have yet to adjust the back strap to avoid “spillage”).
