Grandpa & Dinosaurs
What a great Fathers day weekend! My dad flew in on Sunday so I was lucky enough to have two amazing dads to treat this weekend. We hit Juniors in El Campo on Sunday for lunch & picked up some ribs for Monday. Even though Addison cried most the way there, I think dad would say it was worth it (he did make me ride in the back with her on the way back though!)
Today grandpa treated the kids & I to a trip to the Sugar Land natural science museum. It was a blast watching Ryder run around! At first he seemed to really like the dinosaurs, but after playing in the forest creature exhibit with all the other kids, they were less enticing. Don't get me wrong, we still looked at them another 30 mins or so before he would let me go find dad & Addison!
Addison was quite impressed with the glow in the dark rocks. I followed Ry into the exhibit & decided to pull Addi out of the stroller to see what she thought. She definitely wanted more time in there!
As a special treat, Ryder got his first non stuffed dinosaur! He chose T-Rex (makes sense since I told dad not to get a scary one! Lol! What does mom know?!)
While Ry was picking his dino, apparently grandpa was helping Addison pick her treat. He held up several stuffed animals for her until she found one she liked. She now has a green frog with big, bulging eyes. It was really cute to see her reach for it immediately & then hold it tight & play with its eyes.
Such a good grandpa!

Happy Fathers Day
I am lucky enough to be spending Fathers Day with both my wonderful hubster as well as my own wonderful dad.
Ryder forgot to sign his card earlier so he did it this morning. But here's daddy's present this year.

Time outs may not be working
So, we've been trying time-outs with Ryder for throwing food on the floor. He gets a warning & on the second offense he gets to sit on the door mat.
This does not seem to be having the effect we intend given his actions this morning.
While coloring at the table he either dropped or threw caps to his markers. Without warning he got off his chair & went to sit on the mat. I literally laughed out loud when he looked at me expectantly & I realized what he was doing!
Sweet boy. But I'm not sure how to discipline him if it's just a game to the little guy!
