Monday {words & photos}

Wow! What a day to start. I learned so much from last year and was able to get a lot of really great photos of today. Not pictured, my massive nap and slacking off on the couch to watch the final two episodes of The Good Wife. That’s ok, that’s why the words count too!   

We took a slow start to today because the boy slept in!

 
I apparently have the breakfast tastes of a child. But that’s ok, I love peanut butter in my Honey Nut Cheerios. 

   
Friends and family who know us we’ll know that Max is a poor eater. Mostly due to his time in the NICU & being tube fed, this kid would rather have food magically appear in his tummy, so we have to keep on top of things and he is still bottling at 3. Is it discouraging to have your three year old take a bottle?  Yes, but I also know he is getting well rounded nutrition with the pediasure and his nibbling continues to get better. He is at least mostly excited about food. 

 
My boys. 💜

   

Painting my Mother’s Day shed that my Excellent Husband designed and built for me. Half greenhouse half shed.   
Planting my Mother’s Day tree. A little late, but with help from the boys. I got a Norland apple, no one can remember what my parents had growing up, so I stood and studied the pictures and tried to get the closest thing to my memory. 

Walk that dog. I did a miserable job of this today and since he is recovering from being sick, he wasn’t a 100% either and we had some major accidents in the house today. *sigh*

  
Had to stop painting because this loud had way more bark than bite.   

Getting ready for nap time. (Both of us)

   
  
   
He discovered the taps. “Rain!”

 
Nails clipped right before bed. He never cries when I clip his fingernails, but the instant I grab a foot it’s total mayhem and wailing the entire time.
