Hayden's First Live Show!

We hit a milestone for Hayden this weekend..our first live stage show! We of course had to see Nick Jr. Storytime Live, since his favorite show, The Backyardigans, was there! It was pretty cute and he was entranced the entire time. You were not allowed to take pictures, so they are few and far between, and not fantastic! The lady in the red shirt monitoring that was sitting about 6 feet from us, so we had to be sneaky. It wasn't until the second half that I though to turn the flash off and see what I could get.

Entranced with his favorite's...

The Backyardigans! Got this off the website for memories sake!

Hanging out during intermission.

The Wonder Pets!

The ending dance number!

Hayden sang the theme song for The Wonder Pets, his second favorite part, for us at dinner and drank his milk out of his souvenir cup, complete with curly straw!

This and That Over the Past Several Weeks

We have had a mish mash of stuff over the past month or so. Nothing too exciting! We headed up to Tulsa for the Forth of July holiday. Hayden does not like do it yourself fireworks in any way. Maybe by next year he will like the real fireworks.

Sporting his red, white, and blue!

Hayden's biggest news is that he is a big boy now and uses the potty. It has been a little over a month with not a single incident. We have even traveled and flown without problem! He is even dry at night and naps, although he has been that way for quite a few months. We decided to wait until summer, when he decided he was ready. We did a sticker chart, with prizes, at first but he quickly didn't need it nor did he care about it! I am very excited to go over six months without any diapers. Now I am jut stocking up on the tiny ones!

Hanging out in some big boy underwear :-p

At the end of July, we flew down to Houston (Hayden's favorite past time is flying...he wishes he could do it everyday!) do go to a close family friend's wedding and just hang out. We spent several days not doing a whole lot, except playing with fun toys and swimming in my parent's pool! Hayden has a great time when all of his "people" are together.

At Mimi and Grandpa's house the toys of choice are the Brio train and this one, Marble Works. He played with both any chance he got, and chased kitties the other times!

Swinging and swimming.

Best Wishes to Jeff and Katie!

Braved the heat for a quick photo!

"My mouth turned blue!!" said Hayden. There was a candy bar at the wedding. The blue Sixlets were a hit with him.

Dancing time!!

In other news...IT IS HOT HERE!!! We're on like day 10 of over 100, and it is supposed to continue until at least the middle part of next week. I'm really wishing for a tropical storm or something to cool us down and water our lawn :-P Some days it is almost too hot to go to the pool, so we stay inside!

Shaving cream painting...also will clean anything. I used this method in my classroom to clean crayon and marker stains off tables and walls!

We keep the coupe in the house for cool driving!!
