Rudy's can't fail cafe

Two years ago we ate at Rudy's can't fail cafe on St. Patrick's day. I remembered this while we were eating there and pulled up the picture thinking he wouldn't look too different. I was wrong.

Dinner time time-out

This is what happens when you refuse to eat and scream for ice cream at dinner time.

Fwd: Sawyer's First Day in the Primary Environment

Blogging this email so we can share and remember it. It's the end of a chapter in sawyer's book.

Subject: Sawyer's First Day in the Primary Environment

Emily and Chris,

 

Sawyer's first day in the Primary environment went well! Originally his visit was planned for one hour however Sawyer stayed the whole morning work cycle – 3 hours. Mrs. Wilson said she would love to have at least five more little Sawyer's in the class. He came back to the Toddler class and he just talked about all the different things that were in his new class.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Sawyer's life. It has been a joy to see him develop.

 

And thanks again for the eggs I know what I am having for breakfast!

Christmas Eve at the DMA

We took Sawyer to the DMA this morning to see the Gaultier and Mark Bradford exhibits. He made a sculpture to take home.

Happy Birthday, to Mommy!

Sawyer couldn't understand how there could be presents that weren't for him.  He tried on my shoes (thanks Aunt Kelly!).  Then, he tried on my new watch and bracelettes (thanks Daddy!). 

Then, he gave up and got ready for his school's Christmas party and book exchange where he'll surely have a present just for him.
