Good Night Sleep Tight

Grayson was such a ham at bed time. We wanted to share our bedtime routine. Grayson heads up for bath fun and bubbles at 6:00pm. We get undressed. Grayson takes off his pants and diaper and heads to the potty to stand and aim and sit on it for a sticker to add to his potty chart. Afterwards, we head for the tub to tackle the bubbles. We begin with a wash and then shampoo the hair. Grayson turns the bath into an adventure under the sea with lots of splashing and sticking his face in the water. After bath, we dry off and play cave with the towel. We then brush our teeth with our Spider Man spin brush and Spider Man tooth paste and floss our teeth.

Next, we make a mad dash into the bedroom where we run around naked and Grayson throws himself into his bed. We get lotioned up, dressed and head into the loft for a short show where we snuggle on the couch. We watch Scooby-Doo usually, sometimes Arthur, Ooobi or Wiggles. After that we head into his room where we read lots of books, say our prayer and get tucked into bed and turn on the projector. It is now 7:00pm and off to sleepy town for a good nights rest to begin a new day! Grayson wanted to wear his fire hat this evening during his show and pose for the camera. He loves Spider Man as you can see from his sheets. The quilt on his bed was made by his Aunt Pam. The quilt was made from his baby blankets we would swaddle him in. It is good to Grayson!:)

Will You Be Mine.....Valentine!

Grayson had a good Valentines Day with Daddy and Mommy. We had some holiday cupcakes along with candy and cards. Grayson got some new books (he loves his books). Grayson made valentine cards for me and Marc so that was really sweet. He made one at school and then some with Grandma. Grayson and I put together valentines for his friends at school and his play friends and family. We had fun. On Valentine's Day, Grandpa and Grandma stopped by to eat at Qdoba with us and give Grayson his Valentine's present from them. Grayson got some paints and alphabet flash cards (which he loves). Grayson wanted Grandpa to ride in the car with us on the way home. He sure loves his Grandparents.

Grayson has been busy playing with Grandpa and Grandma who have been over to visit and also Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah. Grayson has been playing lots of play dough with me and Daddy! He's been adventuresome as usual. He has also played with Palmer and Lily a few times. What ever Palmer does, Grayson does! Grayson follows him around like none other! Grayson is on the up swing of a cold that he got about a week ago. Still has a runny nose. Today we are headed to Grandpa and Grandma's for a visit and some dinner. We have been going to the library lately for videos and books. After one day, Grayson already knew the names of his new library books and is ready to go back, "Get new books," he says so tomorrow when we return our videos, we will pick up some new books again. I am so glad that he loves to read. Grayson's latest is fixing mommy's hair. He loves to run his fingers through my hair and then back and forth. It's the latest trend in hair fashion.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who's the Cutest of Them All

Grayson as you can see could not get enough of himself in the mirror. A life size reflection of himself, could life get any better! Grandpa and Grandma have a mirror in his play room up stairs that Grayson enjoys running back and forth in front of. Grayson went for a visit on Saturday to their house. We had burritos and dip, yum! yum! Grayson runs around their house like he owns it. As far as Grandpa and Grandma are concerned, he does.

Grayson got a hair cut last week and did great! He was a bit unsure at first and started to get upset but then he did great and sat there while she cut his hair. I read to him while she trimmed. I also had him watch another guy in there who was getting his hair cut at the same time. They were using the clippers on the other man like they do Daddy. Grayson sure love his Pablo stuffed animals and yes, he has quite a few along with the rest of the other characters from the Back Yardigans.

Well, the groundhog saw his shadow and we all know what that means! We sang our groundhog song on Saturday and Grayson put on his groundhog hat he made at school. He prefers his Indian hat with feathers. He was protesting and wanted Daddy to wear the groundhog hat.
