new friends...and a big boy bath.

we've had a busy weekend...and it's not even over yet.

friday we went to the lake to stay with cookie and poptart. bill, denise and elaine came over and brought their granddaughter, kendall who is three. for those of you from my hometown, this is elaine's daughter. she is a doll. she hasn't ever met pratt...and was excited about seeing "the baby".

however, after the introduction, i'm not sure that he wasn't more excited about meeting miss kendall. he just stared at her and smiled. it was so cute. he LOVES other kids. especially little girls. i'm not making this up...he really, really does.
kendall was so sweet with him. she helped me give him a bath. and she was super helpful in putting on his lotion and pajamas. she was able to keep his attention while i tried to put on a diaper. (she deserves a medal for this)

at one point, she brought over her little makeup bag and asked if pratt would like to borrow her makeup. clint wasn't around yet...so kendall and i put a little blush on pratt. (fake blush, poptart. fake blush.) kendall thought it was pretty funny. such a sweet and beautiful little girl.





we got home on saturday night. clint and i watched twilight. which, he secretly loved. i mean, he occasionally mocked edward during the movie...but i know deep down he loved it. and i'm pretty sure he's super excited about the next three!

this morning, we had a little accident with an ill fitting diaper...which meant that a bath was needed. stat. pratt has been trying to sit up in his little reclining bath seat for a while. he always wants to grab at the water stream. so, i decided to just put a towel down and bath him.

he LOVED it. i actually tried to get him out after about ten minutes...but he was not having it. so i put him back in. let's just say that he stayed in there so long that we both had wrinkled fingers when he finally got out.

he would just splash and splash. the water would get him in the face and he'd laugh. he discovered the bubbles after he'd splash and would ever so carefully try to touch them with his pointer finger. so cute!





happy (early) memorial day to everyone! how important it is that we always remember...

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
