Mid March

These pictures are in no particular order, just some of the latest phone uploads.
LT will paint and create with various materials all day long if we let him. He is starting to give up his nap, however we are still at home in the afternoon so that Adler can nap. LT and I have lots of time to do fun art projects. His cubbies at school are also filled daily with art he does at school. Adler tries so hard to be like his brother. I have to admit that I don't really love Adler doing art, especially painting, at this age. He's a disaster to say the least, but he loves it too and occasionally I give in and let him paint.
We've had some great weather lately. Adler's playgroup had their weekly playdate at a nearby park and LT got to tag along.
LT has just begun really wanting the attention that Adler gets for doing baby things. I guess he hears us laughing at Adler for making a big mess because I turned around and found LT doing the same thing with his yogurt.
Adler is a very opinionated child and lets you know. LT is usually pretty agreeable, however, if his brother has been getting a lot of attention for crying, LT is sometimes known to just start crying for attention. We also don't have good days everyday. One afternoon was especially hard. It was so hard that all I could do was laugh and take pictures.
Hailie has been really sick and needing to go to the vet often. Its a little drive (20 minutes or so). Adler, Hailie and I drop LT off at school and then head to the vet so that I only have one kid. Often times the timing isn't quite right and we have a few extra minutes to stop at our favorite bagel store, Moes. Adler doesn't like the bagels, but he loves the cream cheese!
Happy at the park.
Adler loves butter. He would eat it for all meals if we let him. While making LT toast the other day, I turned around and found Adler had dug right into the tub of butter and was helping himself to breakfast.
More painting.
As I said above, LT is starting to give up his nap. Adler had fallen asleep this particular morning driving home from the mountains for a short time. We thought we could get away with an afternoon activity with both kids. We took a short family outing to the Botanical Gardens. However, the kids were both pretty grumpy and it was incredibly windy. We cut our afternoon short and within minutes of getting in the car, both boys were sound asleep.

After one vet visit this week, they brought in a doggie cardiologist to examine Hailie more closely. She shaved Hailie and attached monitors to her for a 24 hour period. Hailie was not too happy, but she looks pretty good in her pink coat! We still don't know whats wrong with her, but are hoping for a few answers Monday.
