I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that this post will always be late. There’s nothing I can do about it (except manage my time better and/or stop being lazy, but those don’t count).
And since I’ve got this kid who’s all like “feed me, change me, clothe me, entertain me, make sure I don’t die” (seriously, who does he think he is?) I’m going with a mostly picture post again.
So this week we…
Struggled intensely with bedtime. My sweet baby just doesn’t like to go to sleep. He’s very busy and important, so I suppose it’s hard to wind down with all that pressure. But when he does fall asleep, he does it nearly naked.
Had our first toddler class. Wyatt took things very seriously.
Went to the Mall of America with my parents, where Wyatt found his first true love, the escalator.
And rode his first carousel
And had ice cream shoved into his face. Not that he was complaining.
And here’s one more, just because it’s so cute I can’t stand it.
So tell me, how was your week?

Lovely photos. Your baby boy looks really cool. Love that t-shirt with a tie print. So funny! ANd, yes, being lazy in your free time is totally acceptable.
Glad to find your blog through SITS comment marathon.

Thank you for talking about this. The show has always bothered me a bit. It does, in my opinion seem a bit extreme. Our health should never be something that becomes a game. That’s just my thought. Visiting from #Sitsblogging.
Oh, he is so important,he doesn’t even need to sleep clothed! Those are adorable pictures and a great way to recap your week. With kids that cute, who needs words? 🙂

I feel like my week has been lagging a bit so far. Glad your son liked toddler class but no wonder he was so serious about it – look at that professional tie he’s got on!

He is just the sweetest! You are blessed. Of course he’s the most important thing out. Why didn’t you know that? LOL My son did the same, he never wanted to wear clothes when he slept. Up to now, he goes to sleep with them on and wakes them up with them on the floor.

Well of course he took toddler class so seriously, he was in a proper tie! 🙂
I love the pose in his sleep. Too cute.

My daughter is two and still hates going to sleep. It is battle royal when it’s time for bed. And don’t even get me started on nap time. That went out the window months ago. Sorry, wish I could tell you it get’s easier…
Waytt is too cute! Thanks for sharing your weekend with us. I have been dying to go to the Mall of America. Maybe one day…

Your boy is so adorable. I love the sleeping picture. I am a sucker for pictures of sleeping children. They look so peaceful.
He’s so adorable! V loves escalators too.
Hope you’re having a great week. 🙂

My kids are 20 and 25, it has been a long time since they were little, but the memories do not fade. I LOVE the photo of the escalator. I like the angle that you used. You have a great eye. I look forward to coming back and seeing how he has grown. Visiting from SITS and I greatly enjoyed it!

Cute boy! Try using Lavender Essential Oils on him at bed time. You might find him sleeping better. I’ve tried it recently and I find that I sleep deeper and settle easier. There’s also Peace and Calming EO that might help him settle – my daughter uses it on her oldest son who is wired most of the time.

Hi Trish!
First time here on your site. Looks like your little guy is active and doesn’t want to relax! Lol.
I appreciate you sharing these pictures, I’m sure it’s a very humbling experience at the same time gratifying. Thanks for sharing!

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t think of a kid that doesn’t like escalators & carousels. Oh, and ice cream too. Or maybe that is just me. 😉

I remember the time when I was a young mother. There are never enough hours in the day. How you get around to blogging, I don’t know! You’re amazing. And so is your sweet son.

Cute children! I had a very busy week and got a lot accomplished and had fun along the way so I can’t complain!
Really adorable photos of your children. My granddaughter is 16 months it is a challenge every time to get here to go to bed without putting her ‘fight.’ My week was a bit on the hectic side, but got most of the priority stuff out of the way.
Blessings!

How cute! It’s awesome that he loves the escalator, I feel like most kids are scared to death of it!

He is a cutie! My kids love escalators, too, anything that moves!

Oh…my…word! Your boys are adorable! Totally love the tie shirt by the way! I would love to visit that mall someday. It looks more like an amusement park! The malls here in Idaho are sad in comparision to the ones back east it would seem.

Love your pictures! The ride on the escalator is fantstic. We are hoping to visit the Mall of America in May. I can’t wait to check it out.

You can never go wrong with pictures, especially when the subject is so adorable. How great to have the Mall of America nearby to chase away the winter-that-never-ends cabin fever!
