I Just Don't Know What To Do With This Boy

Special Day for Nicholas

On John's second day to school, Maureen took Nicholas to drop him off.  After drop off, they headed over to Larchmont and the park for some one on one time.  Aside from enjoying his muffin and milk, he got super messy at the park. The boy found the one muddy spot and decided to sit in it.  He even appropriated some other little boys sand toys as if they were his own.  It seems our dear sweet little boy is a bit pushy.  What are we going to do?

Our Messy Guy

John decided that we were going to have lunch at Costco today.  Much to Nicholas' delight, we did have lunch at Costco.  You'd be amazed watching him eat.  It's a miracle anything made it into his mouth, but he almost finished 3/4 of a piece of pizza.  That's our little Pig Pen.

How Can I Ever Be Mad At This Face?

For all the aggravation and frustration that this little tyke causes me (he rally tasks me and he knows it), I can never stay mad at him.  He's just too darned cute and cuddly.  Look at this face.  I got home after work yesterday and he asked me for chicken.  Apparently, he told Maureen he didn't want any, but he told me otherwise.  Sure enough, he eats it.  And, the look on the face says it all.

The Calming Influence of Cheesey Crackers

I don't know where we'd be without these wonderful things.  In this case, they were some Annie's Little Bunnies.  Normally, we have Pepperidge Farm Goldfish, but Annie's will do in a pinch.  Nicholas was being a bit of an ornery little cuss since he was in his stroller and he was getting a little hungry.  As soon as I popped these puppies out, he was as happy as a clam.  They tided him over until we got to lunch where he had his favorite chocolate milk and cheechas.

This Little Stinker

So, during our visit to the Natural History Museum, John came into possession of a rose from the garden at Exposition Park.  It calmed him down after we had to leave the fountain at the center.  Eventually, we let Nicholas take a look at the rose.  In a few minutes, John was asking for his rose again.  Nicholas, being the little devil that he is, kept switching it from one hand to the other in an effort to keep it away from John.  He had a grin on his face, so he knew exactly what he was doing.  He's such a little stinker!

Cookie Party Tonight

Last week, it was Africa Hot in the San Fernando Valley at Mami and Papi's house.  As you can see, the boys enjoy dining sans clothing.  Don't worry.  They aren't naked.  They were wearing diapers.
