My Assistant

I had Friday off work and decided I wanted to make my little man some pancakes for breakfast. I made a bunch of regular pancakes and some blue pancakes. Then I used cookie cutters to prepare a plate of star pancakes, some bluish, some regular with syrup. Declan loved them! He thought they looked cool and he ate every last one.

I felt like such a "mom".

Later in the morning I told Declan it was time to bake cupcakes. He ran over and got a chair, pushed it up to the counter and helped me make cupcakes.

I wasn't counting but I'm pretty sure he ate about 6 kisses while we were making them. It wasn't even lunchtime yet.

When we got Declan up from his nap we drove to Daniella and Mikes for a visit and it let Declan and Chelsey have some time to hang out. They chaced each other around the kitchen and down the hallway. At one point they were following each other while crawling on their hands and knees. There was squealing and laughter so we let them be. 

After dinner we all headed to the basement. Declan and Chelsey on the playroom side with the rest of us relaxing, listening to music. Daddy peaks over and ...he finds the two of them. They're up on top of a large desk and both standing at the basement window. They were calmly standing and checking out some Lego up about three feet off the floor. Now we know, we're going to have a lifetime of these two getting into trouble together.

Around 9:30-10pm and we put Declan to bed in the spare room we will be sleeping in. He went to bed easily as he was very tired. Should have known though. There he was staring at my face at 4am. He wants to get up and watch Lego videos or go and play with Chelsey's toys.

No way kid. 4am!?! I dragged him in between Daddy and me and we made him go back to sleep until 6:45am. So today I've been tired and annoyed. He better sleep in tomorrow.

And finally he went shopping with Daddy today. Kids got a new Lego set: Spider-Man.

I think he likes it!
