Atkinson Fam: March 2009

Well, spring break has come and gone. Noah and I had a great time hanging out together. We did something every day. Last Wednesday we went to the YMCA for open gymnastics time. Noah had the time of his life!! He loved hanging from the rings and having me swing him. There were bouncy surfaces to jump on and roll on. It was great! The only bad thing was leaving. Noah threw the worst tantrum of his life when we had to go. I had to hang on to him tight just to get out of the room. Then I had to pin him down with my leg to get his socks and shoes on. He walked out of the building, but cried the whole way out. Besides that, it was a great time!

On Thursday we went to storytime at the library. Noah goes every week with his daycare friends and behaves well every time. Well, he didn't for me! He wanted to stand up and mess around while the stories were going on. He wouldn't sit down when I asked him to, so we had to leave early. My mom says that's because I'm his mother. Kids behave better for people other than their moms. I've heard that from the parents of my students before, but now I understand!

I don't want you to think he was a little pistol the whole break. We actually had fun and he was great. I just have to wonder why kids don't behave when you really, really want them to!

Below are just some pictures of goofing off in the house. There's one of Tyler and Noah where Tyler put gel in Noah's hair and made a little mohawk. I couldn't resist taking a picture.
