Firetruck Bed

Deacon got a firetruck bed from his cousin Drew (Thanks Drew!) and he loves it. He even slept in it a couple of times Ü. We're going to try again in a month or so (after the holiday traveling) to get him to sleep in it. For now, he loves climbing on it like a jungle gym. He snuck a bag of Cheerios off the counter in the kitchen and decided to eat lunch in it too!

He love, love, loves to help in the kitchen. Nate was making waffles this day and Deac was playing in the flour.

He is a big boy and eats cheerios out of a bowl of milk with a spoon. Well, at least a few bites before he starts grabbing with his hands.

On this day, we heard him in the kitchen saying, "NO, NO, NO" very loudly. We walked him to him shaking a big knife (which he knows is a no-no) and then trying to cut the lettuce with it.

When I was so sick in November, I really slacked with Deacon. He has watched more TV that month than he has in his whole life Ü You can tell by the blank stare he gives me in this photo:

And then goes back to staring at the TV in this one:

Another photo where I was neglecting my motherly duties. He got a chair and drug it to the sink and climbed inside (at least I had done the dishes that day!).

He fits inside so perfectly and likes to play with the soap.

A Week in the Life of a Balloon

FRIDAY: We go to daddy's work and get a balloon!

SATURDAY (morning): We tie the balloon to a bat so we stop having to retrieve it from the ceiling.

SATURDAY (night): The balloon watches some TV

SUNDAY: He tries to take the balloon to church.

MONDAY: The first thing he says when he wakes up is, "Bloon?"

I kid you not, this balloon has not left his hands for more than a minute this weekend, except while he was sleeping! So I was kind of surprised when, on his own, he took a fork to it:

So cute:

The one piece of candy Deacon ate from his loot.

Free Kitchen Ü

I pulled this kitchen out of the dumpster in the park behind us. It is in great shape! It's missing detachable parts like the iron and cordless phone, but all the stickers are on there, it just has a little dirt and mud. Deacon likes it.

Taking advantage of good weather.

OCD and Narcolepsy

Deacon likes to spread the dishrags out in perfect squares throughout the house.

This is the ONLY time he has fallen asleep somewhere other than his bed (or occasionally, his car seat). This was on a Sunday morning and I had fallen asleep in this bed. I woke up about noon (which was when he usually goes down), and he was a few feet away from me asleep on the floor. My first reaction was terror! That he choked or collapsed or something. I had just never seen him fall asleep somewhere before.
