The weather has been really warm, and that means 'tis the season for checking whether or not your little ones have outgrown their clothes from last summer. Since last year I mostly bought size 3T t-shirts, most are still a good size for our little man. But as most of you know, kids play all the time and they go through clothes way quicker than we do, so I figured he needed a lot more tshirts. I've mentioned before that it's really hard to find cute t-shirts (especially for little boys).

To all the stay-at-home-parents out there: aren't there days when you just run out of things to do with your little ones and feel so guilty because they're stuck at home with nothing fun to do because they've already played with everything already? Because of that, and thanks to blogging, I find myself always thinking about what projects to do with S. At the age of 3, his imagination and creativity are really starting to shine and I want to help him build on that. Watching him create and draw teaches me so much about how his little mind works, and it's fascinating to say the least.

On a rainy day week while the little guy had cold, we scavenged the house for supplies to do a project at home. He really enjoyed tracing his own hands on paper at the time, so it inspired me to make a butterfly with his hand cut-outs.

They say that every little boy goes through the "super hero" phase, and I wouldn't have believed it until our little dude turned into a super little dude only yesterday! The strange thing is, he's never really seen a super hero (except on his daddy's Avengers tshirt) and we never really introduced him to the idea. I guess every little boy has a super hero hidden inside them! His aunt and uncle gave him a "Design Your Own Cape" kit on his birthday, and it's been sitting in the office until we decided to finally work on it last night.

Because of traveling and sickness, our holiday cards were mailed out super late this year (some actually went out today!). I still think better late than never! I know that technology keeps us in touch these days, and that friends we don't talk to on a regular basis can just check Facebook for updates and pictures. But I still insist that snail mail is a more intimate way to stay in touch and for the friends and family who don't get to see us often, a holiday card can somewhat capture how we're doing and let them know that we're thinking about them.
