Good News... We found the camera cord!

With much searching and destroying of the office basement and everywhere else we looked, we finally found the camera in the wii carrying case of all things. I have begun to upload videos as I am typing. If you can't see them on the video bar you can go to http://www.youtube.com/ and search for HaydenWO2007 you will be able to view all of his videos. Hopefully I can get some pictures up as well.

Since our last post we have been pretty busy battling colds and going to Tennessee to visit the Komolls. We had a great time: Easter Egg Hunt, Golf/Shopping (you will never guess who did what), The Rain forest Cafe, and the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. I have got a lot of great pictures I will post.

Hayden's vocabulary is amazing. I can't believe some of the words the kid knows. We have flash cards and yesterday we went through them and he knows the words (even though they are pictures) on every card and there is about 3 words per card. He is starting to make 4 word sentences and actually have a conversation with someone. The only problem know with his vocabulary is that he gets frustrated when we don't know what he wants... results screaming and crying! But we are working on it and if we can get him to settle down then the words usually come out.

We found out our neighborhood is a kid haven. Every time it is nice out kids run around everywhere. They even block a portion of one of the streets off so the kids can play. We really got fortunate with our neighborhood. Well that is all for now. I will upload the pictures to flickr. Have a good weekend.

Mommy Timeout!

Have you ever had a kid try and put you in time out? Well yesterday Hayden was up earlier than usual and with Jon at a conference neither of us sleep very well... so of course I am dragging just a little at 6:30 in the morning. Well Hayden wanted his breakfast faster than I was willing to move. So he started counting: "1...2...3...4...Mommy timeout... Now!" At least he gave me until 4. I just looked at him with my mouth open. He really wanted me to go in timeout for not listening, since he gets put in timeout for not listening. I am not going to lie it was pretty funny. He has also learned how to open the freezer and refrigerator and if you aren't paying attention the ice cream, Popsicles and fruit are the first things to come out. He has also been reading books a lot more. We have been to the library every day this week just so we can get new books to read. This morning while Jon was getting ready and I was ironing he spent a good 15 minutes in his room just reading to himself. Right now I might have to buy one of the books from the library, I don't think he will be able to let it go when it is time to take it back!

On the home front we have only painted one more room since the last post and bought a vinyl sliding shade for our patio door (since the curtains we picked out seem to be more of a hassle that anything else). We have been looking at sectionals but haven't found anything we can't live without yet. Still working on finding our camera cord. I know it is here somewhere but there is a lot more house here than our apartment! Just think when we do get the pictures and videos up there will be plenty for everyone to look at. Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!
