Tricycle Time

Okay, this first picture is not really part of this post, but I thought it was too cute and decided to randomly post it in this blog post. This is a pic of B-man and Boo in their Clemson shirts watching football on Saturday. One of my faves.


Now, the real subject of this post is to highlight Boo's first attempts at riding his cool Clemson tricycle...that he got before he was even born!! Nope, he's not spoiled one bit, huh? He was all too eager to jump on it and try and there I was trying to record his first moments on his trike, when he crashed and burned. It happened so fast, I didn't even get it recorded. What was his reward for his efforts? Well, he managed to get a nice bump and big bruise on his head for that one. So, naturally we set off to the store for a helmet for our Lil Boo! I've already gotten some flack for this knee jerk reaction (a-hem....BeBe and B-man) so I don't need to hear anymore about that! :) ha! So, just enjoy these photos and a short video clip of his subsequent attempts. He did in fact crash 2 more times before we put it away for another day. But, we didn't get those on video either. Just as well.

He's still a little short for this model, but it won't be long now before he's cruising around our cul-de-sac with me trailing behind! hahaha! No, seriously...I'll be right behind him! :)

A Hitter Among Us!

Well, it seems our sweet lil boo is no longer content to just throw himself on the floor. He has now taken to hitting people.

It started yesterday at playgroup. A little boy was trying to get into the same toy bucket that Boo was, and so Boo (probably more appropriate to call him Boo-cephus for this one) just rared back and hit him!!! I was mortified!! I quickly grabbed his arms and looked him straight in the face and said, "NO!! We do NOT hit. You need to say you're sorry." And then he rolled on the floor.

Today, it happened again. Except this time his target was ME! We were at a restaurant meeting some friends for lunch (luckily they hadn't arrived yet) and I was carrying him with me to get our food and he didn't want to go with me...so he hit me in the face!! Again, I put his arms down and said, "No hitting." As soon as I let his arms go...he did it again...and again!! I was SOOOO mad and embarrassed! We ate and left as quickly as possible. I didn't know what to do. I did have him say "sorry" but that didn't really stop him. I couldn't really spank him, b/c I just said, "we don't hit" and I'd really rather not go down that road unless absolutely necessary.

I know he's frustrated because he can't tell me what he wants. But, still! We're not having this!
At home, I would have immediately put him in timeout. But, what do you do at a restaurant??
Any advice?

J&R Gymnastics

Last Friday we went to J&R Gymnastics for their open playtime. It was the first time that we had been there and B-man was able to come too. Boo had a wonderful time! He did have trouble taking turns though...a lot of trouble! Seems like we need to keep going back to so he can learn.

Balance beam!

Sliding into the foam pit.

Jumping into the foam pit.

Running on the trampoline.

This is where we had the problem with sharing.

Only one person is allowed on the trampoline at a time...need I say more??

Jumping with Daddy.

We've been missing our Daddy this week. He's been in DC but is on his way home now!! Yay!!!!

Petition

So, I'm thinking of starting a petition to change the pronunciation of the word banana from
(ba-nan-a) to...

What do you think?

GAME DAY!

It's that time of year again! And although the temps are still in the mid 90's here in south Texas, it is fall, and that pretty much means one thing in the Faye household...

COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!

We're all sporting our new Clemson shirts today in honor of the new season.

Go Tigers!!!

Go Razorbacks!!

Our Little Reader

Our Lil Boo loves to read! Here's a pic of him just chillin' in his room, reading his favorite book about his favorite thing...Tractors.

Here we are reading, "Where is Baby's Beach Ball?"
It's just adorable, the way he says, "noooo".

Reading our Opposites book.
If you listen very carefully, you can understand what he's saying. It also helps if you know your opposites! ha!
