Busy busy

So these last couple of weeks have been really busy!! David's little brother, Mark came home from Virginia for a little over a week and brought his sweet little girl, Jayanna with him. She just turned 1 in September and was really just too adorable. I got to babysit her one night and had so much fun. Trent was unsure of her at first but did really good being gentle when he played with her, helped me get her to bed, gave her hugs and when he woke up, ran straight into the guest room kept saying "Baby..baby...wake up!" He was ready to play :-) They were just adorable running around together, laughing and giggling. I really miss my two nieces (Jayanna & Teagan) and my little nephew (Braden) that I don't get to see very often! It was just wonderful to get that time with her! Now I'm just counting down till I see Braden and Teagan at Christmas!

Trent has been keeping us very busy too. We have a box of crafts for him, crayons, coloring books, play dough, glitter glue, etc and apparently we under estimated he's capability of opening this container so we have kept it in his play room. One day when I came home I had noticed some crayons and a color book on the fire place and just thought David had gotten it out for him. The next night he was in his play room and I went to check on him and had found his whole box of crayons all chewed and broken all over the floor!! I guess before breaking them he decided to color the bricks on the fireplace too. I later said something to David about leaving it out and he thought I had gotten them out for him. At that point, we figured out he had done this all on his own. Lesson learned.

Also, the last couple of days, I have asked David to walk with me in an attempt to not gain as much weight this second time around (fingers crossed!) Trent is at a stage where he would rather walk with us than ride in the stroller and so we get the dog and head out. Trent LOVES walking the dog but the dog just makes him fly right to the ground! He doesn't even care about the fall, he cares that the dog got away and starts yelling "Boo boo...boo boo come back" and starts chasing him. So David has to walk in the middle of the two of them and hold the leash and then he lets Trent hold the end part. I really get a big kick out of this and tried to get a good picture but it's very hard to catch!! They are just all over the place, Trent's laughing and having fun, the dogs a little freaked out and David gets all wrapped up in the leash.

Last but not least, Trent is quite my little helper! We made some banana bread for him to take to his daycare tomorrow and he really enjoyed this. He is such a helper and loved the stirring, pouring and of course tasting at the end. He's very interested in learning what we are doing and what things are so he would constantly ask me but when he knew things like the eggs would say "Eggs ma ma!" very excited and proud.



Sorry for the very long blog but like I said, we've been busy and wanted to get everyone caught up :-)
