Mr and Mrs Awesome

Yesterday morning Gratton and I were downstairs with David, while he was ironing a shirt. All or a sudden the heater kicked on really loud. Gratton jumped and got scared because he was close to the vent. David started laughing and told Gratton that there was a Dragon in the vent. That got Gratton pretty scared for a second and then kind of excited. He started saying "Hagar", which is his word for Dragon, over and over again and growling really loud. All day long he kept going back to the vent to look for the dragon. He even showed his Aunt Alysa where the dragon was. The heater wasn't on, so Alysa told him the Dragon was sleeping, and Gratton went "SHH!" with his hand in front of his mouth. It was pretty stinking funny. Kids have great imaginations!

David asked Gratton if he wanted a bath and he got all excited and started walking towards the stairs. Then David got up and said to me, "we're taking a shower." Gratton threw himself on the ground and started fake crying. David said, "Bath I meant bath" and Gratton got right back up started running up the stairs. Funny how when he was a baby he hated baths but loved showers, and now it has completely flipped! Crazy kid

So Gratton does this adorable new thing where every time something scary happens on a movie, he covers his mouth and gasps. It is so so so cute! I love watching him grow up! He's so cute!

So Gratton comes downstairs with a warheads candy cane. He gives it to David and David says, "where did you get that?" He said it in a bit of an accusatory tone, so Gratton, apparently not in the mood to get into it, took it back and handed it to me. He knows I open candy, no questions asked. Good parent, score! Also, my kid is a champ because he eats warhead candy canes. I refuse to even try them...

My sister in law wrote this song for her baby! You have to listen to it. Its beautiful and she has a great voice. Live and Love Music: Beautiful Baby: Rhodri's Lulliby : I finally did it. So, here's my masterpiece minus piano, because I definitely would not have been able to do both in my first time ever re...

We are here visiting family in California, and I wanted to dedicate a special post to my brother Joshua! He worked extra special to spoil Gratton! Not that everyone else hasn't too. But anyways. On with the story. Josh had picked up this adorable ship picture, and a book- Are you my mother- before we even got to California. He was thinking of Gratton before he even met him. And then he went to the store and bought Gratton some toys and candy. I may or may not have eaten the candy myself.I did give gratton the fruit snacks, but I'm a sucker for pop rocks! Gratton is still loving the toys though! He got him some water guns and little toy animals. The animals are perfect because at home he has the Noah's Ark ship that I got from DI, but he has no animals for it! Josh also got him some sidewalk chalk that I'm going to let him use today when we go back to my Moms house in Lancaster. My brother Joshua Boyd Bailey and I are four years apart. He got his middle name from my Da...

So my little guy is going through a new stage, a clean stage. He goes and runs in the mud and literally rolls in the dirt and rocks, and picks up bugs like most little boys. Then he comes to me exclaiming, "mama" and holds out his hands for me, looking up expectantly. I always laugh because I know what he wants. He wants me to clean his hands and arms and whatever else he got all dirty. We're still in the car driving to Vegas, and he got messy doing something. He made me wash his hands and feet with a wipe, and then I just gave him the wipe because he still didn't seem satisfied. You can see in these pics that that made him really happy. Silly kid.
