Splish-Splash









Leyton received a very cool bath set for his birthday from Mimi Sharon and Pop so he HAD to take a bath to try out his new bath fizzes and shower gel. Even though Leyton less than loves bath time, he decided to take a bath at 7:30 am.
I left the bathroom to get a towel for Leyton and when I came back, Redding was in the bathtub with Leyton! Fully Dressed, still in his pajamas! I didn't even hear him slither his way past me and into the bathtub! He didn't even make a splash! Sneaky kid! Redding LOVES taking a bath, I don't know why I was surprised!
After I recovered from a slight panic attack and a myocardial infarction, it was funny.

Just a few cute pics...

Looking like a little man...
The ever serious Leyton

Eat Redzilla
Ahh, so sweet!



And then, he was 3

Leyton enjoying cupcakes with his class
Leyton with a few of his friends (holding hands with "Richy")
Leyton and Anna
(they have been in the same class since they were 8 months old)
Leyton, Richard, and Anna are the "3 Amigos". He talks about them nonstop.
Leyton wanted a "Thomas the Train" party this year. I find it difficult to accept that he is already wanting to make his own decisions about things. I really wanted him to have a "Cars" party (mostly because the party favors were much cuter and much more abundant) but try as I may, he was insistent on having Thomas. I guess I should get used to this...and be more respectful of his opinion. He is growing up after all.

Birthday Festivities

"Best toy ever".
Actually, I think all his new toys earned this title...
Admiring his gifts from Mimi Sharon and Pop. I think Redding was pretty interested as well.
See, we read the cards too!Mmmm, tasty!
"Daddy, you help me"
Leyton had a great birthday! I can't believe he is already three! We didn't go too crazy with parties this year but Leyton still had his fair share of cake and other bad food items. I threw a party for him at school and we had a family get together at home. Also soon to come, a party with Mimi and Geep! Mmmm, more homemade cupcakes!

Oh, how they grow! Oh, how I hate cleaning!



The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs;
Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

By Ruth Hulbert Hamilton


I thought this was appropriate since Leyton will be 3 tomorrow!
Where did the time go?
