I have been seriously neglecting my blog lately. Wall paper glue can do that to you! We finally are done, and I have a nap time I can use to blog, instead of scrape off icky glue. We still have so much to get done before we move in, at this rate, we may be moved in by Christmas. Kidding. Kind of.
Beach Day #1
I love the beach.
A lot.
A lot, a lot, a lot.
Karson has decided he loves the beach almost as much as Mommy does.
I wish I had time to find a picture of me sitting on the beach when I was little. I am sure I have sat in this exact spot. Doing the exact same thing, while my Mom watched me. She loves the beach too.
Karson is really leery of water. It has to be warm. It has to be his idea. On his timing. If he gets splashed, or spooked...forget about it. He is done. We aren't pushing the issue. He gets better every time. This particular beach day, he finally started playing in the water a little. He fell, got soaked, and was done.
Have you ever read Kelle Hampton's blog? Her girls sleep on the beach all the time. Mine-not so much. He will not sleep. We got to the beach at 9:30. We left the beach at 4:30. He never napped.
He did sit in his wagon blowing bubbles, with an exhausted look on his face for a long time.
My new beach rule: Naps are not required, nor are they necessary with Karson.
He was happy as could be blowing bubbles in that wagon.
As soon as we got to the car to leave, Leesh picked him up and he crashed.
He was out!
He didn't so much as move when I put him in the carseat.
I even checked to make sure he was still breathing.
Kid was exhausted!
Beach Day #2
told ya I liked the beach
Karson is slowly getting over his fear of the water. He was having fun stomping and splashing with his feet
He got splashed by a big kid, and he was done.
Then he decided trying to race the waves was fun.
The fact that the waves comes in never gets old to him.
It surprises him every time.
We put on some dry clothes, and played in the sand for a while.
Then he decided it would be fun to play in the water again. We were having so much fun watching him slowly start playing in the water, so I don't have any pictures until he was ready to really get wet.
Auntie Leesh set him down, and he went racing up to the shore giggling so hard.
Then he turned around, reached for her, and said 'wee wee wee.'
We about died.
He was trying to tell us he wanted to go 'weee' again.
As soon as she grabbed his hands, he pulled up his legs, and the giggle came back out.
And no.
He didn't nap on Beach Day #2 either.
My Mom and I took Karson to Milwaukee this weekend, to visit family. Saturday morning he woke up at 5am. Um...that is early! So Saturday night, we took him outside, and let him run and play. I was determined to wear him out.
No water toys at Gigi's?
A bucket of water and some measuring cups will do!
He was entertained for an hour.
And he slept until 7:00 the next morning.
Iced Coffee
If you like coffee, make this.
Seriously.
Amazing!
Mosquitoes
I have decided their mission this summer, is to eat Karson and I.
He did not inherit my love of french fries, but he did inherit my mosquito bite allergy.
Little Man is Talking
Karson has decided to start repeating what we say.
He now says no, more, doggie, Mom, Daddy, Nana, hi.
Today he was playing with the hose.
"Karson say 'hose.'"
"ho, ho, ho."
He has now been walking around all day calling everything 'ho.'
Fabulous.
And that is what we have been up to lately...
Ya know, except for tearing down wall paper.
I love love love this post! The beach pics are so much fun!
