Boy had he grown up!

Wow! Here is Hayden exactly a year ago. Wasn't he sweet. Boy has that changed! Hayden has now learned a new great word. No. Its not just no its NO! A big forceful, NO MOM. When i tell him we don't tell Mama no he will say Mama, Mama, Mama, until i answer him, and then says NO. Stinker. Also he yells, Move, and Come Here. He is being a good little potty trainer. He woke up this morning and took off his diaper and went "Winky" on his potty chair right away. We are getting there. I haven't really tried pull ups or anything. I am waiting for him.
He talks all the time. Tonight we were driving past our house and i didn't stop or slow down or anything and Hayden said Bye Hayden's House and he also LOVES christmas lights. He does have one favorite house though. All it has is LED blue and green lights. But everytime we drive bye its Oh pretty lights. Every other house its just Oh Lights!
Hayden also misses Jessica very much. All morning along its Where's Jess. Where's Lissie. Poor kid. Its hard to tell him where they are. But Lisa is always working and Jessica is always at home. Everytime we see a beige colored SUV, its Lissie's car, Jess's car. Today we pulled up next to a rusted out old jimmy and he thought that was theirs too.
Today was Jacob's 3rd birthday. Hayden gave him a birthday smack. It was the first time at Angie's that he was naughty! We had a good talking to tonight. Hayden now knows that we dont hit. We don't take or break toys. And we don't push. Sorry Lisa but i think Hayden picked that up from Jessica!!!! Remeber when we use to talk about them picking things up from each other like crawling, Sitting, Standing, talkingm, and Walking! But i suppose they have to pick up those Two year old habits somewhere!!!! I am sure Jessica is walking around screaming "OW." That's what Hayden says whenever he doesn't like something. And Hayden yelled at Jessica a few times. He yells even if someone gets like too close to him, its awful. In the middle of Target, screaming ow isnt so cool. I swear people think i beat him or something right there in the store! Hayden misses Jessica so maybe that's his way of keeping her close to him!!! =) (But then again he could of gotten it straight from Jacob who i do recall did push him after my sweet innocent little son stole his train!) See Jessica is innocent! She is our princess. Kasie thinks that Princesses are perfect! She has a lot to teach my little prince! Here I included a picture from Jessica giving Hayden the first lesson in being perfect no stealing! Those were Jessica's crackers!
Well i hope everyone has a great week. Good Night!

Yes, A Picture

What is this, why its a professional picture. And he is smiling. Thank goodness, i have faith in him again. Boy did we have a fun time with Jessica today, her mom and dad too. We had such a lovely lady at Sears do the pictures, she was great. Can't say that about all their staff though. Manager gave me some issues, oh well. They played and played today. They both were so good. We took them to lunch and i was so suprised at how long and well they sat. Thanks to Grandma Sandmon for lunch. She really takes good care of us. Then Auntie Renee came over and played at our house too. We had yummy pizza and watched the kids play. They are so much fun to watch. They grow up so fast. Jessica is the cutest. She is a little mommy, she takes care of everyone. We had so much fun today. Hayden fell fast asleep in his new Elmo jammies from Auntie Lisa. He had pictures in those too, i'll post someday. We have the cutest kids in the whole world.

We Have Snow

Yesterday we finally got some snow that stayed. Boy does Hayden just love it. He keeps looking out the window and says "Snow, Snow, Snow." "Mama, Look snow on the window." We went out yesterday and played a little bit too. He liked walking up and down the little hill in our yard. He's a trooper. He loves to be outside, no matter how cold. Mom only lasted like 15 minutes. I can't help it i just get too cold. I took a few pictures. Have a great day.

Oh Pretty

We put up our Tree last night. Hayden loved it. He got out of the bath and walked into the living room where i had just put the lights on and said "Oh, Pretty." Then we put up the ornaments. He didnt really seem that impressed by putting them on the tree, oh well. He does like my IKEA ornaments. They are silver and gold balls. Thankfully they are just plastic. But he of course throws them, kicks them, and tries to play catch. I told Jason that we werent going to yell at him and tell him no about the tree we wanted him to enjoy it too. Yeah that lasted about 10 minutes. We are enjoying the tree from a distance now. He wants to water it every five minutes. He likes to "Help, Hayden Help." Last night we were at my mom and dad's and my mom was offering everyone cookies. She put the tray down and Hayden told her. "Nana, I wanna pick a coo coo too." He of course got to. He can't help but give me things when he's cute. Jason is off to the Cities for training for the week. I don't know what i am going to do with out him. We can't wait until next weekend. Hayden's favorite little buddy is coming to visit. Jessica. He is SO excited. We are going to go and TRY to get their pictures taken, again. But i think i will give up for a while if it doesnt work out. I hope everyone is all geared up for the Holiday Season we are. We can't wait. I just hope Hayden loves the Christmas season as much as i do. Have a great week everyone.

Almost the end of another week. Hayden was been so good this week. Such a change from when he was sick. He loves taking his medicine we call it his Alligator Juice. We have a medicine spoon shaped as an alligator. That really helps. We decided to go and get his pictures taken again. All week long i have been preparing him and posing him and telling him cheese and he makes the silliest little face at me. So i thought we'd have no problems up at Sears. Boy was i wrong. He was fine until an assistant came and sat down next to him. Then he cried, and cried, and screamed and cried. It was great fun. So again no pictures. If anyone has an ideas let me know. I am in need of pictures. He has found a new love. I have never let him watch TV before. No movies nothing. But when he was sick i bought him an Elmo DVD. Everyday sometimes twice we have to watch ELMO. Granted its not the worst in the world, but one can only take so much Elmo. He still plays but Elmo needs to be on in the background. We were up and Barnes and Noble yesterday and he LOVES the train table. So Mom and Dad are going to go talk to Santa. But my goodness Mom was looking on the internet, so many choices. But i am sure Santa will pick out the best one for Hayden. If Hayden is a good boy. Have a great Day.

I love to fiddle with my pictures and i really liked this one.

Well we've recovered from another day. Sometimes it seems like you might not. Oh the joys of being two(well almost). We went out to lunch yesterday with Nana and Papa and Hayden was throwing food in a restaurant. I was so frustrated at him. But he knows know that we only throw balls. Yeah. But he had another crazy time in the water park. He loves to swim so much. He also went down to Macy's and walked through the 8th floor display. It was Mary Poppins this year and very good, as always. Hayden seemed to watch and look at everything. Then we went and saw Santa.

It of course ended with Hayden crying he wouldn't even shake his hand. Oh well. Maybe next year. Then we went down to the Lower Level and had dinner. My mom and I shared some dishes. One was tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil. Hayden saw those cherry tomatoes and wanted one so bad, he had a huge smile on his face before he put that fork in and then he chewed. I have never seen such an awful face. Out came the tomato and he actually quivered in disgust. He did not like it. It of course was kind of funny for the rest of us. We've been walking a bit in downtown Minneapolis and Hayden really seems to like riding in his stroller, there is so much to look at for him. Well i better go brace myself for another day with a two year old. Have a great day.
