So close to the stage!
Breathless with anticipation!
There they are!
He got really excited when Cookie Monster came down from the stage...
...but he could barely contain his awe when Elmo came down!
Elmo even gave him a high five!
Watching on in amazement.
The infamous Elmo balloons.
Enjoying our family time!
We spent the rest of the week preparing for Valentine's Day. Little Buddy and I decided to bake cut-out cookies for his school party. It was a lovely moment for me; we used my Grandma's recipe, the same one my mom and I always used together. Cooking is so special to me, and sharing the passion with my little guy means so much to me, but making my Grandma's cookies with him? That was an amazing feeling.
Rolling out the dough.
Cutting out the hearts!
All ready for the oven.
The finished product: Snoopy Valentines with Sugar Cookies. What toddler could resist?
Before Little Buddy's class's Valentine Party on Wednesday, we went to Church for Ash Wednesday Mass. He was much more aware of the marks on our foreheads year. He was, once again, very exuberant during church. :)
Got our ashes!
Enjoying his Valentine's Party with his class.
Valentine's Day was actually on Thursday this week, and my morning started off well, with some lovely flowers and chocolates from my two favorite guys. I know a lot of people aren't keen on Valentine's Day, but as busy as we all get with work and school, it's nice to take the time to do something special for the ones we love.
Puts a smile on my face.
Little Buddy and I spent the afternoon getting the house decorated for Daddy, to show him how much we love him. My little guy was quite excited to set everything up for Daddy's surprise!
Our "Be Mine" banner. Little Buddy loved coloring it!
Setting out our homemade Valentines decorations in the kitchen.
Little Buddy made this in school for us. I was just excited he told them to write "Mommy & Daddy" instead of "Elmo!"
Little Buddy ended up being a little fussy in the evening, and dimmed our celebration a bit. We decided to take him back to the doctor on Friday morning. Turns out that his ear infection had not cleared up and that his allergy drainage had intensified it. With him being allergic to penicillin, we don't have many antibiotic choices, but they were able to put him on another kind that should work. He seemed to feel a bit better after the appointment, so we all went to lunch (we were lucky to be having a four day weekend with Daddy).
Little Buddy by his favorite fountain after lunch. He looks so old in this picture!
We ended the week with the first fish fry of the season at our church. It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of delicious food. I think Little Buddy enjoyed himself, especially because there was an unlimited supply of ketchup!
Yummy!
"More ketchup, please?"
As much as I enjoyed this week with my family, I do have to say that I sometimes feel stretched too thin. I cannot wait until school is done so that I can focus on more quality time with them, and less on homework and reading! Just ten weeks left!
Good night,
LBM
