5 Minutes in the Life: Lunch

Made me laugh out loud!!

Can a Boy Love a Truck?

Oh let me count the ways!!! Since Christmas, he has been playing with this little truck set A LOT! We would just get it picked up and he was over asking one of his sisters (or mom and dad) to get it out again. The truck (there are actually 2 trucks but he has misplaced one already) only takes 1 AA battery, but we have gone through at least 10 batteries. The funny thing is--the truck doesn't get much "track-time." He lets the truck go around the track once. Then he picks it up, plays with the wheels, turns it off and on, and then puts it back on the track. It is delightful to watch him play.

5 Minutes in the Life. . . . . .{from the floor}

During the day, when it is just the one year-old and I, we frequently find ourselves playing on the floor. Here are two I took while laying on the floor. I am smitten by those lashes daily!!

5 Minutes in the Life. . . . . .

Just a couple more from our everyday. Mostly, our everyday has been trying to get better before we get sick again.

5 Minutes in the Life. . . . . .

I spent 5 minutes or less with my camera this morning trying to get some photos of my baby (and just so you know, he will be my baby for a while still!!) The minute I clicked the shutter and captured the first frame, he ran in my direction, saying (in his own language, of course,) "COOL, mom got out that fantastic black box that is covered in delightful amounts of my favorite things--BUTTONS!" Then, the next 3 minutes were spent showing him the photos on my LCD screen and letting him push a few buttons (don't panic, no camera's were harmed in the process of taking these photos.) Thankfully, my LCD screen "magically" turns off after several seconds of not being used. When I wouldn't turn it back on, he became disinterested and allowed me to take a few more.



However, the 5 minute or less photo shoot ended when he saw the refrigerator. He knows the refrigerator usually holds a wonderful selection of his favorite foods. Like any normal boy, he was hungry and desperate for food--RIGHT NOW! Thus the photo shoot ended.

Look for more of these "5 Minutes in the Life" photo shoots in the near future at a blog near you (okay--just my blog.)
