Post Nap Time Selfie for the Win: #MySundayPhoto

8 Comments

Nap time is becoming less and less about napping, and more about playing in her room for an hour while Daddy gets a little bit of quiet time. Well, besides listening to her read books and sing the theme songs to Bob the Builder or Super Why as if she were trying to be heard over the noise at a live concert.

Lucky for her, she’s the cutest little girl I know and love. She usually tires enough to get a short nap on her big girl Naturepedic bed before it’s time to wake up. You never know what kind of mood she’ll be in, but I happened to catch her in a good one the other day which called for a daddy-daughter selfie.

Sometimes you just have to try something new to get your kid to smile when they first wake up. Sticking a phone in their face to take a picture probably isn’t the best choice, but laying next to them to take a picture together makes all the difference. We’ll see how long that lasts…..

Touring the Fire Department: #MySundayPhoto

3 Comments

We visited a local fire department twice this past week. We live close to a few, and paid a visit to a different one each time. This has to be the best idea for something that’s free and kids love.

Avery was a bit shy in front of the firemen and the massive trucks, but once home, that’s all she talked about. We’ll have to make a trip back to see the big trucks and kind firemen again soon as it’s quickly becoming a nice break in routine, and daddy likes the big trucks too!

So far, we’ve collected three firemen hats from the fire department (the first visit had two stuck together), and plenty of golden sticker badges. The stickers helped us stop a mounting meltdown already, so I’m making sure to keep plenty of those around for the future!

Smiling With Our Froggy Friend: #MySundayPhoto

5 Comments

The summer heat is in full effect in Texas. Being a family that loves the outdoors, we do what we can to safely get outside. Lately, in an effort to keep our little girl smiling, that means exploring in our backyard in the afternoon when we have shade from the house.

There are several moist areas in our yard that make the perfect spot for amphibians to cool off. We’ve found frogs both big and small hanging out in the yard, and as long as they’re small enough, Avery doesn’t mind when I put one up to her face.

She actually loves chasing them across the yard and picking them up to bring them back to our garden area. I love seeing her interacting with nature, and hopefully, as she grows, so will her tolerance for catching cool bugs, reptiles, and animals.
