Biding our Time
Well, baby time is fast approaching and we can hardly wait. Over the last few months Paul and I have been helping Silas along in his journey to big brother status. In January we had the “bye bye binki” ceremony – Silas having the honors of “chuck binki in trash” while we all clapped and cheered. In February he moved into his very own toddler bed – only once did I come in the next morning to find him cuddled on the floor. And last month Paul successfully potty trained him in a day…no kidding! (a HUGE thanks to our dear friend Jen for the excellent recommendation: “Toilet Training in Less Than A Day” by Nathan Azrin – it totally works.) Silas is all excited for this new “baby brover” or “baby sista” to “pop out” so they can “play diggers” together and “share.” So now we’re just hangin’ out, biding our time, waiting for this new little one to make his or her appearance.

“Baby seep here”

“Si-yas seep in toddyer bed”

Biding our time: Reading

…and more reading

Reading to Huckleberry

Reading with mama

Reading to dad

Climbing! on his own little segment of wall Paul built for him this winter. Notice the crayon in his right hand. He likes to stash them in his pocket and pull them out at the top of the climb to do some coloring. Silly boy.

Hiking. With his toolbox of course – never know when you’re going to need a wrench.

Logging some hours on the bee…and not leaving any toys behind

Playing in dad’s dirty clothes

Playing with George

Playing with his dinosaurs

Eating pancakes. Dude. This kid can put ’em down lemme tell ya.

Playing in THE biggest box EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

And more climbing! (This is a photo of Silas trying out his new gear for the big climbs for the first time. Not surprisingly, he was too distracted by all the gear to actually make any significant vertical progress at the gym. Eh, born boulderer then I guess. That’s my boy. 😉
