Books!

J finally has a good collection of board books in his room! My sister gave me a box-full and I'm so excited! I've put them on his dresser shelf for now. I'd like for both boys to have a bookshelf on the ground in their room. The plan is, once J is bigger, he and Trent will have times when they play together and times when they play separately. I don't want them to be too dependent on each other. Trent does really well playing in his room alone. I think it fosters imagination and creativity. That's my teacher side coming out. Uh oh!

Busy Fingers

My sister taught me this snack trick for my toddler. He doesn't like his snacks mixed up and makes a mess trying to dig for certain things. This keeps them separate and also keeps him interested in the snack. :) sometimes he dumps it out... Oh well. I think the best thing is that it makes my snacks last longer. It keeps me light-handed. I have a tendency to fill a bowl with lots of the same snack when he really doesn't need that much.

Easter Pre

Here is our sweet little family today at my parents' house. We had a little egg hunt with a few of the cousins. :) Trent did good!! He wanted to eat marshmallows all night! Haha I will post more photos later this week. :)

Stormy Weather

Yes, Dallas had some CRAZY storms yesterday. It was intense. Luckily, Frisco didn't get the super bad stuff. We didn't really even get the super bad rain. We had some hail, but that was really the worst thing. HOWEVER, it was scary and we weren't sure what we were going to get. I left for work and while I was driving there my parents both called to tell me that our Day Care was taking cover. That meant the schools in Frisco were taking cover as well. I got to work and was a little stressed about leaving Sara here with the boys. They said I could go home...praise Jesus! Sara had no cell reception so that would have been bad news. I got here and we had a blanket party in the downstairs powder room. The boys were EXCELLENT and didn't fuss at all. After it passed, mommy made a fort and we had a blast!

Allergies

I just realized I didn't update with the results of the allergy test. It's funny I call him my peanut because that's what he is allergic to! I guess it's my fault. Haha Luckily he isn't deathly allergic to them. He's a level two and level 6 is when you need to carry an epi-pen. (did I spell that right?) So that's good news, but it still doesn't explain his eczema. Oh well. He has been looking so much better and we only have three (or less) months left on themostexpensiveformulainexistence. :)

Here is my little cutie trying puffs for the first time. He's so sweet!

Cool Guys

We spent some time outside last night because our house was too hot! Both of our AC units went out :| Luckily we met our home warranty deductible in December with our water heater. I guess that means two new units for free! Love it.

Allergy Test

We took J to the doctor today to get blood drawn for allergy testing. His skin has looked really good lately, but he still has little flare ups and we want to know what is causing it. Pray that we will get answers and will be able to help our sweet peanut be healthy. It was hard hearing my little one cry. Mommy cried too. He did a good job though. He kept very still and let them check both his arms several times. :) He is such an angel!
