In March, we finally bit the bullet and got another gate and installed them on the stairs. This allowed us to be able to watch TV and play upstairs again without worrying about the little monster falling down the stairs.
Hayden loves the new areas to discover. I was sitting there one day watching TV while the kids played. I look down and realize that Hayden has figured out how to crawl under the coffee table. He is quite the curious little guy and loves to try new things out. He's a climber for sure.
Ryleigh was pretty good leading up to her Spring Break, so I took her to Build-A-Bear to finally pick out a bear and build it. She seemed to finally get into the experience and enjoy it.
Stuffing her bear - of course she chose the pink one :)
Washing her bear.
"Hayden, meet Princess Aurora the Bear." Ryleigh was pushing Hayden around the house and Princess Aurora had to tag a long in the back of the truck.
A rare moment - Hayden sitting down playing with his cars. He's always so busy and all over the place, it's not often he sits down and plays nicely with his cars.
In mid-March we went to the Aloha Festival in Tempe. Tried to get a picture of these cuties in their Hawaiian clothes, but Hayden didn't like the sun in his eyes.
He was much happier in the shade!
This is how you entertain Hayden when you need to distract him for a while - Open photos on the ipad, especially photos of Ryleigh. He loves finding pictures of his sister and pointing her out. (Yes, he's wearing a beaded rainbow loom bracelet. That's what happens when he has a sister and wants what she has. He was so happy he had his own bracelet.)
Little man got his first haircut in March. I held on to that silky baby hair as long as I could, but it was getting out of control! He looks like a completely different baby with is hair cut. (Both pictures were taken on the same day!)
This kid is hilarious. Whenever I get out the vacuum or mop, he has to run and grab the swiffer to help clean up the floors. He takes his swiffering very seriously and gets very angry when someone else uses his swiffer.
Ryleigh has become quite the reader. All that work with sight words and spelling words has turned my little kindergartener into a reader. She still guesses at a lot of words, but she has the tools to sound out words, and recognize words. I am very impressed with her progress this year. One night she pulled out this Dr. Suess book and started reading it.
Ryleigh has made Principal's List all 3 quarters at school so far! That means she's gotten straight A's!! So proud of her! She's a smart little cookie just like her mom. And given her mom and dad's high expectations, we expect her to stay on that list!!
