Fun With Bubbles

Asa thinks it helps if you make noise while blowing bubbles:

Gymnastics!

Asa and I went to a drop-in gymnastics 'class' and he was in little boy HEAVEN! He had so much fun jumping into the foam pit, jumping on the trampoline, and running around! Mama was rewarded with a 3 1/2 hour nap that afternoon- amazing!

A few videos of Asa in action:

Grocery Store Shenanigans

See the red mark on my left cheek? I was misbehaving at the grocery store and fell out of mama's grocery cart. My face smacked the cooler of lunch meat. I've decided that next time I'll act like a civilized little boy and listen to mama when she tells me to sit down (yeah, right...).

He's fine- I'm just glad he didn't dive head first into the cement floor...

Lake Vallecito

Early this week we headed out on our first road trip with Asa. We spent several days at Lake Vallecito outside of Durango (a 7 hour car ride). Asa was a champ in the car- not a tear was shed! He napped, picked his nose, told us when he found a booger "ewwww....booger," wiped boogers on napkins, played with baby wipes, and pointed out trucks. Easily entertained! I even loaded the iPad with kid shows thinking he'd need lots of entertainment, but we never even had to use it!

Once there, we spent our time fishing:

Why?!?

How do you refrain from strangling a two year old who says "why?" in response to EVERYTHING you say?

I find myself saying "because I said so" and "because I'm your mother." I sound like my own mother! Yikes!

He's actually saying "why" as I'm taking this picture:
