A B C's

Drew is learning to sing his ABC's and we are very proud parents! He doesn't have them all but he is doing great! We love how proud he feels when he knows he is singing the right letter. I would love to be able to take the credit for this but he has toy that he just plays the song over and over again. One day I was singing the song to him and he just started singing along. We love him so much and want to share his accomplishments with everyone!

Did it snow in my pantry?

I don't think I need to explain these pictures... this was definitely not a mom-approved activity!!! This was oatmeal..... looks to me he was attempting to make cookies.

Grandma, Elmo and Cousins..... who could ask for more?!?!?!

Drew had a big adventure. Sam and I went to Kansas City with a couple friends for TWO NIGHTS!!!! It sounded like a great idea up until the night before, then I started to panic and woke up the day of crying. Sam talked me through it with the regular... "he will be fine", "he will be with Grammy and Grandma and cousins" and "he needs to learn that he is okay without mommy and daddy in case he ever has to spend time away for some reason." Well I got myself together and then cried two other times, I have been away for a night before but never two. So we left. He spent the first afternoon with Grammy (Sam's mom) and her friend Nancy. They kept him busy and then my mom came for the night shift. The next day they headed to Lawrence to visit my sister and watch Elmo Live. I kept calling to check and kept hearing "he is doing great and he hasn't asked for you at all." Now all you mothers know that is bitter sweet, I want him to be happy and having fun, but it would be nice if he remember I was alive! :) Anyway they had a great weekend and so did Sam and I. My mom is already asking for more time with him so I guess that is a good sign. Here are some pictures of the weekend.
