There is a giant field near our house that Beau loves playing in, basically he just runs straight for the tree line, and kicks the small bushes and trees until we make him get back in the stroller to go home, it doesn’t take much for him to have fun.

Beau enjoys drawing and coloring, sometimes we draw and color in the kitchen so we don’t get chalk and crayon on the floor. Sometimes that means we find produce lying around and draw on it. So be it.

A week ago I took both boys out by myself. For the first time. After being home-based for the last 7.5 months, I finally decided it was time to put on my big girl britches and go out on my own. In my defense, Beau has only recently gotten to a point where he has started to actually listen when I ask him to do things like holding my hand and not running away in a parking lot. Mav has recently decided to switch to only one nap a day so I knew we needed to get out of the house. I loaded up the boys and headed to the mall. We have a double stroller, but I’m not sure it will even fit in my car so I decided to let Beau roam. We rode all the rides in the kid’s area, walked to the Disney store where Beau played with every Mickey toy possible, then went to the cookie store. Despite how tense I felt the entire time, Beau was awesome up until the very end when he really wanted to just sit down in all the squares on the floor. He really is a good listener and Maverick just hung out in the stroller. When we got home I pretty much felt like superwoman making me feel like we’ll be getting out a lot more in the future.
Beau is constantly pulling books off the shelf and asking us to read them to him. He loses interest fairly quickly due to the lack of pictures, but he always grabs various books from my Song of Fire and Ice series and when you ask him to read it, he always starts with “Once upon a time…”
One day I’ll be able to put him and his brother to sleep reading a story to them, but I doubt we will be reading Game of Thrones.

A couple of weeks ago we had some snow/ice. Beau nearly froze his dad’s hands off forcing him to make snowball after snowball in gloves that were soaked through with snow. The only way I got him to come inside was to let him put a snowball in the freezer to save.
He was terrible at catching the snowballs, but in all fairness it’s tough to catch anything wearing mittens.

So Beau’s hair continues to grow. And since he has yet to request a haircut, we get to style it. I’m not gonna lie, throwing it up in pigtails is kind of adorable.
We finally gave Beau’s hair a trim, but I’m not gonna lie, I really like the pigtail look on Beau. Maybe when his hair grows back out we will do it again.
Every now and then I come across a photo of one of the boys that makes me gasp out loud. This was one of those photos.
Maverick and those eyelashes.

Flashback Friday from what looks like around this time last year:
While Beau and I were hanging out one Friday together, I made some paper airplanes for us to play with. Beau got a big kick out of them, and in these photos you can see one of his planes voyages from pre-launch, launch, to landing.
