A New Hat

After we got haircuts yesterday we went to Walmart to pick up some shelves I had ordered online, and get a new crib mattress since we put the old one on the toddler bed. While we were there Skyler found this hat and decided he needed it. I've been meaning to get him a hat anyway because we've been spending a lot of time outside and I'm worried about his head and face getting burned, so I figured if he loved this one enough to wear it all over the store, then he might actually wear it outside as well. He wore it in the car the whole way home, and now he won't go outside without it. Both yesterday and today he wore it the whole time we were playing, which is great! Andy thinks it's kind of white trash, and maybe it is...but hey. He's ONE. If he'll wear the hat without me having to glue it to his head...I don't care if it's white-trashy!

Hair Cut Time!

 We recently decided that it was time for Skyler's first haircut, and then Andy saw that Great Clips had started a $6.99 haircut sale, so yesterday I took him in. His hair is so lightweight and poky-uppy that I wasn't really sure a haircut would make that much of a difference, but it really did. He looks so much more grown up now! Skyler basically sat there like he was completely frozen, drooling sucker goo all down the front of the cape, and the lady got it all nice and handsome-looking for him.

 While we were there I got Kylee's trimmed up too because I realized her ends were really uneven. I told the girl what I wanted her to do, but then I had to go stay with Sky and Kylee did a great job sitting there all by herself, talking to the girl, answering questions, and not acting at all shy. She's getting so grown up!

Skyler Gets a Big Boy Bed

In preparation for our new baby, we got out Kylee's old Elmo bed and set it up for Skyler. When Andy first got it out he played and played and thought it was so fun. That night when it came time to go to bed, though, he got really upset and started throwing all his things back in the empty crib. He even tried to lift up the mattress all by himself. It was so pathetic we decided to let him go back in the crib and try again the next day. On the second day...SUCCESS! He napped on his bed, and slept on his bed as well. He's fallen off a few times, but then he just falls asleep on the floor, and we put him back in bed when we either hear the thump, or when we check on him and find him on the ground. Overall, it's been a pretty smooth transition.

  

Fun Times

 We recently inherited this huge beanbag from Grandma Karen, and the kids LOVE it. Skyler lounges there to watch t.v., and Kylee wanted to have a sleepover with me last Friday so she could sleep on it. I didn't think she'd really last because she's tried to have a basement sleepover with me before and finally ended up just going back to her bed, but this time she fell right asleep and stayed there all night.

Yesterday Andy went skiing with some of his siblings, so after Kylee finished her Bright Ideas activity my sister Tiff met the kids and I at McDonalds in Spanish Fork and we had lunch. Skyler is usually content to play in the tiny kid play area, but this time he went exploring. Next thing I knew he was way up top in this little pentagon shaped cage thing, yelling "Hewwwooo!" down to us. I sent Kylee up to get him and it took her awhile to convince him to come down. He thought he was super cool up there.

Dr. Suess Week

 Last week at Kylee's school they did Dr. Suess week, and each day they were supposed to do a different thing. I forgot to take pictures of wacky socks day and "wear stripes" day, but the picture above is mis-matched clothes day, and picture below is "dress like your favorite character" day. Any guess what Kylee was? It was a fun week.
