Mr. Independent

Super Bowl Sunday (check out P's peanut butter face)

This past weekend we travelled to Greenville, SC to celebrate Dave's sister's and dad's birthday. Although the trip was pretty uneventful, Preston chose to throw quite a few tantrums in the restaurant. Thank goodness we were the only people there for a long time! We are just going through a stage with him right now (maybe it's due to the 4 teeth that are coming in or maybe it's because he is a BOY) where he is very opinionated. If he doesn't want to wear his coat, he throws it in the floor and proceeds to throw himself in the floor. He has also become super independent. For example he wants NO help walking up or down the stairs (and can do it solo) and also insists on feeding himself everything with a spoon (just imagine the MESS). He also insists on eating things whole. If I give him a nutri grain bar broken up, it immediately gets thrown in the floor, but if I give it to him whole, he eats the entire thing within a minute! Honestly, it's about to get the best of me, but I'm trying to just take one day at a time. I do a lot of praying between 5 and 6:15, when Dave finally arrives home.

Although we had to deal with a super fussy toddler, we did manage to have a good weekend. Saturday the kids loved getting special valentines presents from Grammy and Papa. Sunday was a great day to be able to have everyone in church and then to do a few things here at home too. We decided to go out to dinner and it was a great idea since there was no one out ~ everyone was at home watching the big game.
