Ballerina Bella

A week or so ago I captured this moment when Anna Bella was admiring herself in her little "Lily Anna for Girls" tutu a friend of mine gave her when she was born. His wife makes them. Isn't our little Ballerina adorable. I like to thinks so.



I took this photo because I just thought she looked cute sitting there. No special reason.



Here, if you look closely, she had got into a kids watercolor paint set and painted her face up a bit. What cute girls I get to spend my life with. You may find that I randomly post photos simply because I think they're cute, without a great story or reason. It's fun.

Sleeping Buddy

Timothy has rediscovered his love for his gummy's music in the last couple of weeks. He listens to it during play time, bed time, quiet time, relaxation time, etc. You name it, he's listening. He has to be close to the CD player so he can listen to his favorite songs over and over. He loves to hum along with his favorite intros and melodies. He's even starting to sing along with some of the lyrics as he becomes more familiar with them. Last night, he said "Dad listen, this is my favorite part," as he sang along with the bridge to "Broken," a song from her album "Pontiac Rocket." It was sweet. About the photo, it's pretty much impossible to make a 5 year old take a nap, so we started what we call "relaxation time," time when he quietly listens to music, reads books, etc. Yesterday, I peaked in to check on him, and he had fallen asleep on the floor, next to the CD player, listening to gummy's music. I had to capture the moment. Precious.

Timothy's 1st Week of Pre-K / Visiting Mommy

Timothy had his first week of Pre-K last week at Second Friends Preschool. They are helping the kids get use to being dropped off and picked up out front. Here, Timo was heading to the car last Friday after realizing I had arrived to pick him up. He's getting to be such a big boy! Sniffle, Sniffle.



We love to go visit mommy at Children's Mercy Hospital. The hospital has a really fun park that the kids love to play at when we're there. Here's Anna Bella after climbing on this dinosaur for a ride. Yeeehaaa!

Yogurt Fun Fest

I'm learning lessons about leaving kids unsupervised for even a moment. So, I hear giggling in the kitchen. What could be happening that is so much fun? Well, Timothy decided to cover Anna's hair (and his) in yogurt. As you can see, the yogurt in Timo's hair is not as noticeable as it is in Anna's. What a mess! Though it was a bit frustrating, I couldn't help but capture the moment. I told Dan about it and he mentioned it might be something we could use in the song we're writing called "Love 'Em Where They're At." Anyway, I guess it's just one of the joys of being a stay at home dad for a while.
