A day in the life...

As I was on my way to take Hayden to "school" today, we got beside Brian on 101st. I did my normal wave and kiss and told Hayden to wave "bye-bye" to Daddy. Normally he just looks around for Brian and doesn't seem to understand the concept that he is not in the car with us. But this morning we had a break through!!! Hayden looked out his window and smiled and said "bye bye Dada" and then proceeded to shout "Daddeeee" at the top of his lungs. I couldn't help but laugh. Brian seemed pleasantly surprised to see that Hayden has finally figured it out. What a great way to start the day!

I was rumaging thru some pictures that I've taken of Hayden over the past couple weeks and stumbled on these.

This seems to be another of his favorite things to do. He has figured out that this cabinet is safe for him to play in since it only has plastic bowls and collanders in it. He will pull them all out and scatter them across the kitchen and decide that he wants to play with something else and leave things a mess. I'm hoping that we are getting close to learning how to put things away when finished.

This rocking chair has history. It was Brian's when he was little. His grandmother gave it to us when we were expecting Hayden. It is in fabulous shape and Hayden loves it too! Every night after bath time, he will climb in it (backwards most of the time) and rock himself and sing "rocky, rocky" and laugh.

Hayden has also figured out that he an ride on Beau and the dog doesn't care. He will walk around the house saying "Bo Bo". He calls Whiskey "Bo Bo" and every other dog "Bo Bo" even though he knows they are "dawgs".

I am so amazed at how smart he is. Just last night Brian was walking through the kitchen saying "ow ow ow" and as he finished saying it, Hayden started repeating it! So this is your fair warning everyone (especially Brian)....he hears what you are saying and WILL repeat it!
