Big Marshmallow!

May 25, 2012

Sawyer kept his underwear dry all day today!
He got a "BIG" marshmallow as his reward!



It made him a little looney! 



We are SO proud of you Sawyer!!!
Keep up the great work!

The Sweetest Zoo on Earth

May 21, 2012

When we first  moved to Hershey, I didn't even realize that it had a zoo. 
That is probably because the sweetest zoo on earth 
is probably the smallest zoo on earth too. 

It is really small, but really fun. We have gone the past two years
 with PIM (Partners in Medicine) and Sawyer has loved it. 

They have a special animal demonstration for the kiddos 
and my little man is always front and center. 

Just like last year, he was the only child who wanted to touch the snake. 



Lily was a big helper by containing Sawyer 
on her lap for a bit while he checked out the owl. 


After the presentation I fed Reuben while my close friend Mandi 
walked around with Sawyer and her little girl, Kennedy, 
who just so happens to be Sawyer's girlfriend, or so he says. 

I met up with them and we hung out at the zoo together.
We had such a great time and saw a lot of animals!

Like a cool Sawyer Eagle. 


And a cute Kennedy Eagle. 


Sawyer and I will both miss these friends dearly!!

Tricycle Time

May 19, 2012


For Christmas, Sawyer asked Santa for a red bike.
Santa did a lot of research and finally decided on this beauty!


Sawyer has been riding it around inside all winter. 
Today he took his new tricycle for its maiden ride outside!

Helmet On.


Ready to Go!




He loved getting pushes from Daddy.



And pedaling to Daddy.



He fell down.
(A couple of times, actually)


But he got up again!


Ya never gonna keep him down!


Great Job Sawyer Boy!
You did so well and had such a fun time!


Until we told you it was time to go inside. 


And you ran away.


And peed in your pants.


You came inside after that.

Our "Beautiful Baby" and His Big Brother

May 15, 2012

So the other day as I'm washing the dishes, 
 I look over to see Sawyer touching Reuben's face and saying, 
"Baby Wooben, you are such a beautiful baby!" 
I think I've been extremely lucky with how quickly my 
two-year old has adapted to being an adoring big brother. 




Although I constantly have to remind him not to pick up Reuben,
lay on him, or pull his "piggies" when he's playing "This Little Piggy..."
in reality, all of these things are him doting on his baby brother. 

It's been really fun to see Reuben start loving the attention
 from his brother and smiling really big anytime 
Sawyer comes anywhere near him. 

These two are something else. 
Something wonderful!
