Nap time.....

I have told many people how hard it has been getting Kingston adjusted to not sleeping(contained) in a crib. Because over Thanksgiving he learned how to climb. And so it has been a down hill battle for a while, but it definitely has gotten way better. But just to give you an example of what I experience during nap time, one day he decided to use his poop as paint and pant his whole bed, rails, sheets, his peak boo soother, and himself from head to toe. I didn't take pictures of that incident, but here is another example of something alot tamer. And yes this is tame for him! I am not kidding you, he can do all of this with in 5 to 10 minutes and very quietly too I might add! The poop incident was right after I had put him down, and I heard him about no more than 15 minutes talking on the monitor. So I go upstairs and check on him and the "poop incident" had happened! That is how fast he works people! Thankfully we have figured out a method for him to not do that again though. We have now cut out the feet of his sleepers and we zip it up backwards! ha ha ha...

p.s. In these pictures he is in one of the few onesie's he still can squeeze in. And in an attempt to take off his diaper he managed to take off his pants, but thankfully he has never figured out the onesie's either!






Hummmm? Is that Kingston's changing pad on his bed? Wonder why that is???? Hummmm?



Ohhhhh, so this is why....



Look mom, I got some diaper wipes ready for you!



Kingston is giving me his Spiderman pose going "steeeeeeeeu," which means he is trying to stop me from coming in... Right!

St. Patty's Day Playgroup Fun

So if you haven't already noticed, we have a pretty cool group of friends that we have our play group with. And not just "any" playgroup is cool enough to go to a bar for St. Patrick's day either! We took the kids to a place called O'Tooles for an early lunch, and had a blast! When we got there, which was around 10:30 in the morning mind you, it was packed! Full of older retired type (shall we say) people, who didn't seem too enthused to see us roll in with about 6 rowdy toddlers. Enjoy!







Not sure if this guy was the token Leprechaun for O'Tooles or just an old man dressed for St. Patty's day....





Kingston must have gotten into the Guinness.....




Cheese, Irish Boy!



These two men thought Kingston and his buddy Jackson were pretty cool. So they decided it would be fun to give them their hats to try on.






Do I look good in the hat mom?




Jackson what do you think? Nahhhh, we aren't old enough for these hats yet!






Kingston and his friend Charlotte giving high fives to their buddy's, one last time before we headed out.






Aviation Museum

The week after we got back from Puerto Rico, Kingston and I went with our playgroup to the Aviation Museum. And we had a great time with our friends as usual.




Wow! Nice! Can I fly this baby?





Forget the airplane, let's go with a helicopter mom!



Kingston and his my buddy Jackson checking out the display of small planes. (Ahhhh, a small window of a peaceful moment here people. I cherish these! )





Let's race dudes!





Kingston was in love with this cockpit from a plane. (We all let the kids get in this, and then afterwards found out that it wasn't a display to get in.... whoops!)





As you can see, he enjoyed checking out all the real stuff...





And he enjoyed the outside part too...







And even helped his friends with the parts inside....









"Hey ladies, this is how I fly the plane!" Kate and Charlotte don't seem impressed though. ha ha ..









Okay, I will sit down and fly the right way. Safety first!




Yes! Something I can finally get into and it actually kind of works! Yayyy!




Kingston some how didn't want to get out, and so all his friends had to get in with him. He was totally into all the electrical stuff!






Another example of what I said before....



I think you get my point as to what Kingston really liked at the museum.






Boys being boys, and fighting over a stick. ha ha ha...
