Monsters in the Bathroom

Okay so this is one thing I wasn't really prepared for this early. I certainly don't remember being afraid of monsters, especially at 3 years old.

Little I went to bed around 8:45pm, and as per usual, he was up to use the restroom at about 9:20pm. I'm still downstairs cleaning* and he suddenly starts yelling for me. So I run up the stairs thinking maybe he pooped and needs his butt wiped, but when I go in the bathroom the light is off and Little I is on the toilet pointing to a dark mass on the floor screaming, "Monster!!"

So I flip on the light. And there, in the middle of the bathroom floor, are Little I's pants. That he took off 5 seconds ago.

Then we have the following conversation:

Me: There's no monster, it was just your pants.
Him: My pants are the monster? (he's now scared of his pants..)
Me: No, there is no monster.
Him: Did you scare it away?
Me: No, there just aren't any monsters.
Him: There are monsters! [boy at preschool] said there are!
Me: Oh. Well there aren't any monsters in our house.
Him: Okay... 

But he still won't put his pants back on and is in bed in just his underwear.

I knew he couldn't have come up with it on his own. Although he does have an awesome imagination so I shouldn't be surprised.

And now it's time for me to go up to bed since I have my 7:45am class tomorrow morning.  Remind me why I signed up for the early lab?


*I wasn't really cleaning still. That only takes 5 minutes. I just tell him I'm still cleaning or he'll want me to come to bed right then.

Throwback Thursday

I had a BIG oops this week. I completely forgot that it was Wednesday yesterday. So instead of my usual Wordless Wednesday post, why not a throwback to when Little I really was little? Courtesy of my newly found (but really old) thumb drive.

This is from May of 2010 at my friend's baby shower. Those eyes kill me!

I also found one from my prom. It was a tradition to wear your prom dress (and not change your hair) to church the next day since most of our dances were on Saturdays. All the girls in church used to do it. It was really fun!

Hand Painted Card: Pinterest Sunday

It's Pinterest Sunday! Each Sunday I post about a project, craft, food or anything else I've done with ideas from Pinterest.

It's been a while since I've done one of these. Life has been hectic and gotten in the way recently.

Today is Grandparent's Day (which I didn't remember until this morning) so we did a last minute craft that I got off of Pinterest.

This idea comes from My Montessori Journey and Little I had a blast making it.We did adapt it somewhat from a Valentine's Day theme to Grandparent's day.

So Excited!!!

I wrote the words with the paint bottle, he used his finger to trace them.

Mamatography: Days 246-252

Mamatography: A 365 Day Photography Project. At least one picture per day of what you did that day.

Sunday we spent more time with Mamaw and tried to keep Little I calm and out of trouble. Kind of tough for a 3 year old with endless energy. My cousin T and I took him to an awesome park that had a pirate ship jungle gym thing, two island climber things, and a bunch of other stuff that kept him entertained and ran out his energy for over an hour. My phone was dead so no pictures of the awesome park. Then we came back and had dinner.

In the last Mamatography post, I told you that we left Sunday night after our dinner/farewell.

Little I watching a movie on the laptop at my aunt and uncle's house.

  Little I only slept about 5 hours of the 10 ish hour ride.
 
We got back to mom's house around 6 a.m. Monday and got about 3 hours of sleep there after we ate some breakfasts. Then he was a ball of energy until bedtime, minus his hour nap, I even had to have him call and talk to Papa so he would calm down and go to sleep.

Nap time airing out his booboo. Same shirt as Sunday. Don't judge.

Tuesday we picked up  B from school cause she gets out at 12:00pm now and took some pictures in the house since it was raining.

Kissing B

Shoulder rides. He only smiled so he could spin the fan.

Kissing mommy

Wednesday, it was time to go back to school and Little I got his stitches out. Apparently now stitches in the face get taken out after 5 days instead of longer because they start to adhere and grown into the skin and it causes worse scars. Then we had dinner with my aunt, uncle, mom, and B.

Excited to not have stitches anymore

That chicken breast was huge. I saved half and used it as lunch the next day.

Thursday, we picked up B again since it was my day off school and watched Dino Dan (One of the shows that fascinate Little I) and went to the grocery store where we saw some cool clouds at sunset.

So pretty! No filter or anything.

2 minutes later the whole color changes.

Friday was another busy day filled with school, my Moms to Moms meeting, more school, and a failed naptime.

Getting ready for bed. Still so much energy!
