Life in the Fast Lane....: Afternoon of Fun....

I think we are suckers. Not the kind that get licked, thrown, hair stuck in them, and basically abused by the children of America. I mean the kind that walk into a store and can't resist "buying" something for their beloved child. Yes, the same child that was throwing the royal tantrums the other day. I digress. I justify everything that we get for him. I mean, the child needs some sort of entertainment--he is a boy after all.

Well, we got him a little table set complete with an umbrella. Seeing that we live in Murrieta, where it is hotter than Hades outside, he needed a little shade to protect his porcelain white skin. That, and we figured the table inside would teach him how to sit at the "big boy" table, sit and draw, do art projects, etc... Yes, I am still continuing to justify the purchase of this product. In the words of my husband, "He is worth every penny." And, I concur. He LOVES it! He drags the table and the chairs all over our kitchen, mind you, that we store the table set in his play room. He did sit at it this morning and drank his milk. It was a sight to make his little mama's heart melt into a big pile of oozy goo.

Does this not make your heart melt? I even love his cheesy smile!

Yes, he loves his stuffed animals.

Next up on this list: Markers! Now, this isn't his first experience with markers, but something was a little different about today. He's discovered that they work just as well on him as they do on the paper. Therefore, he felt he made a better canvas then did the drawing for his grandma. Let the marking begin!
