Dance Moves

I was finally able to catch Weston's dance moves on video. Papa had to sing to get him to dance. Papa, I hope this video doesn't embarrass you! We think he looks just like his cousins in Hawaii (or Elvis) when he dances.

A Trip To The Mall

Weston was in desperate need of summer shoes so we made a trip to the mall. We let him play on the playground first, and then we started our hunt for shoes. We found a pair of camouflage Crocs (a fake pair) for under $10 that we thought would be perfect for him to wear outside. I have had to wash his other shoes almost every day because he gets them dirty and wet. These shoes were perfect! Nathan found a pair of brown leather flip-flops and he insisted on buying them for Weston. I just knew that Weston would not be happy about wearing them! Dad bought them and let Weston wear them out of the store just to prove that he would wear them. Well, to my surprise he did not seem to mind them one bit! It was so funny to see him wearing flip-flops at 18 months.

He tried out his Crocs in the rain puddles and loved every minute!
Money well spent!

Letters and Sidewalk Chalk

The Easter Bunny brought Weston some sidewalk chalk for Easter so we've been putting it to good use. It has been keeping Weston entertained while I have been trying to work on spring gardening. I write down a bunch of letters and he tries to name them while I write. When I am finished he takes the chalk and tries to make marks all over the letters.

Kindermusik

Every Wednesday Weston and I go to a Kindermusik class together. It is a 45 minute class that involves singing, dancing, and instruments. Weston hasn't been too interested in the music part lately. He usually follows his teacher around the entire time asking her to get balls down from the top shelf .

Well, we have missed the last three Wednesday classes due to Weston's unpredictable nap schedule. We have been trying to transition into taking just one nap a day but it has been difficult. He has either fallen asleep on the way to kindermusik or is so grouchy I wouldn't dare take him. I decided to ask if I could join the class on Sunday at 4:00 until we get the nap straightened out. I took Weston to the Sunday class and he seemed excited to see his teacher again. He looked a little confused by all the new faces but he fit right in! This class was all boys so I wasn't as worried about Weston being too rough. Our Wednesday class is mostly girls under the age of one. And yes, he did ask her to get the balls for him the entire class. As you can see in the photos she got the balls down for him!

Haircut

Nathan and Weston both needed a haircut so I decided to give them one at the same time. I have been cutting Nathan's hair for at least six years and I now have another head of hair to cut! This will be Weston's fourth haircut. The first time we cut his hair I cried so hard! He does pretty well getting a haircut although I can never finish it in one sitting. We gave him a Hershey Kiss to keep him busy. He will take at least 10 minutes to eat it! I had to finish the front of his hair with the scissors after his bath.

The finished product

Water Hose Fun!

On Wednesday, I decided to rinse the inch thick pollen that has accumulated on my car over the past week. If there is water involved, Weston wants to be part of it. I don't know how many times a week Weston manages to get wet. Right, Nana and Papa? He will find the smallest puddle anywhere and make a mess. Today was no different. He ran under the water hose the entire time I was rinsing my car. I gave in and handed him the hose when I was finished. The water was so cold!
