Max, Mama, and Papa - February 2016

Another month has come and gone.

I love this little project of mine and I never

want it to feel stressful.  So, I usually run around

the house gathering up these items and take

all the pictures in a matter of about twenty minutes.

February was a doozey of a month....we finally

got some snow, celebrated mama's birthday,

powered through a terrible cold for Max and daddy,

and finally decided to order some parenting books.

As Max gets closer to three, he's certainly

exerting is desire to be in charge and showing

those dreaded "three-nager" signs...and thus -

we need some sort of plan.

 

Here is what Mama, Max (33 months), and Papa were into during February  2016.

(From left to right - Papa, Max, and Mama)

 

CARRYING:// his man purse, a box of tissues everywhere, and my work bag

*Rob carries this trendy man bag to work every morning

and I swear it weighs like twenty pounds

*Because he's been fighting a runny nose/cold - Max has been

obsessed with tissues

*Papa Rob got me this bag for Christmas and it's

just perfect for carrying all my crap to work.

DRINKING:// vitamin water, cough syrup, and sparkling water

*How did I not know about sparkling water?? It's

so delicious!

EATING:// baby carrots, applesauce by the containerful, and edamame

*Each week we by each of these three things

at the grocery store. Rob takes the carrots religiously

in his lunch, Max would have applesauce at

every meal if we let him, and those edamame

are such a great snack!

 





LOVING:// our new kitchen cabinet handles, Paw Patrol, and my new map

*Papa Rob randomly installed these new cabinet handles

on all of our kitchen cabinets

*Paw Patrol all the time over here

*Auntie Stacy got me this really adorable map

for my birthday and when Max took our calendar for his

room, I had the perfect spot to hang it in the kitchen.

READING:// the Dragon Reborn, Spot the Dot, and How Toddlers Thrive

*Sometimes I question Rob's book choice, but then

I'm usually like, well, he's reading...and that's better than

a lot of other crap he could be doing. And what a good

example for Max!

*Max's book choice was less of a read aloud

this month and more of a seek and find on each page.

*I told you about the parenting books...this is just

one of them...

WATCHING:// Detroit Muscle, Lego City, Fuller House

*Car shows always for Papa Rob

*There is literally no dialogue in Lego City

and I think it's really dumb, but Max likes it

*I could not resist Fuller House - and while

it was terribly cheesy - I still liked it.

WEARING:// bombas socks, "comfy pants", and rolled cuff jeans

*We had been searching high and low for the perfect

athletic socks for Rob...and these are it!!

*Max chooses to wear "comfy pants"

over all others these days.  And, I don't mind

because he can put them on himself

*Rolled jeans go great with booties

WRITING:// cards for all the February holidays, his name, and letters to my pen pals

*Rob's valentine's day and birthday card

cards were perfect for me this year.

*Max is getting good at writing his name!

*I love to send snail mail to my friends!

 

What will March bring?!?
