The other day I made a yummy, healthy fruit smoothie for Weston and me. Usually I have to sit there and help him drink it since it is too thick to put in a sippie. I decided this time, maybe he was old enough to handle drinking it on his own if I just put it in a little cup... well, I guess he wasn't quite ready after all. What made the otherwise typical mess-making incident so comical was his reaction. He was so stunned that he just sat there, completely still, without so much as a sound. Poor little guy. So much for the intention to save myself a little effort!
Here are some other things that my favorite little guy has been up to lately:
Playing the piano...
Playing in grandma's yard...
Sitting at the table like a big boy...
Taking a snooze on the couch while mom and dad watch American Idol...
Cracker eating...
And cracker pouring...
Pretending to go pottie, then flushing the toilet and waving "bye-bye" to the pee. (that is only even there on rare occasions) I try to only let him flush when he actually "goes," but sometimes he does it anyway...
Posing for the camera... really, who can resist that sweet little face?

A little tip, add just a bit of extra milk to his smoothie and you can put it in the sippie for him to drink himself. That's what I do with my 2 year old. What a cute little guy Michelle!
Awww... poor little smoothie face. :)
he he he . . .

Weaning, ah yes it seems so close and yet so far away. Night weaning is the final nail on the coffin and every nursing babe knows it. For the record, I nursed Conrad (2 years) while I was pregnant with Riley and yes the change in my milk stopped him cold. With Riley (2 1/2 years), I wasn't getting pregnant, so I substituted nursing for story time, which worked. Poor Amelia (2 years), I put vinegar on my breast pads and told her nursing was yucky. I let her nurse and she started to cry because she knew I had "poisoned the water hole." It worked though and I think she will need minimal counseling in her teens.
Good luck!
He is way too cute. Can you EVER be mad at the face?!!! I can't wait for you to have two munchkins!!
Your son is just beautiful! I love that "What just happened?" face he is making, covered in smoothie. Don't worry, little guy - that happens to me a lot and I'm a lot older than you!
I have to say, Michelle, I thought about you and all the encouragement you gave me right before my mission while I was serving in NY - having you as myu Visiting Teacher and friend just before I set out to serve was a true blessing! I'm so glad to see how many wonderful dreams you've accomplished since then,a nd how happy you are!
