Creation and The Toddler Days of Summer

So, the first half of this post is so I can get it over with. I had some questions about art projects I was working on, so here they are in all their unfinished glory. The first picture is of two latch hook rugs. I only work on these during evenings when Derek isn't around to run off with (or dump out) my yarn. It isn't precut, so I spend some movies just cutting yarn. It's very theraputic. I think I'll turn the first (and biggest) rug into a just that - a rug for my bedside, but the second I'm going to turn into a pillow. It's so soft and fluffy.

Rugs!!

Really not sure what started my dragon kick (sarcasm - see the rest of the post). I think it's the curves - they're so elegant.

This summer has been wonderful - and it's only half over! Here's a picture review of the past two weeks... (with some videos at the end!)

Derek asks to read this book at least two times a day and at least twice in a sitting. I think he understands a lot of the book. He really loves his daddy. Sometimes, I catch him flipping through it on his own.


Derek's Favorite Movie. We watch it at least once a day, per his request. You might wonder how he makes his preference known... he knows that the remote controls the TV, so he "calls" to me while pointing the remote at the TV. As soon as the movie comes on, he sits for a few minutes, plays for a few minutes, eats for a few minutes and goes back to the movie for a few minutes. Hopefully he'll pick up some words this way.


This is the official Toothless plush for How to Train Your Dragon. REALLY?! So lame.


This is more like it! Isn't this so cool! Some kid made a 5 ft Toothless plush with a 6 ft wingspan. He made his own pattern and everything. Super awesome!



One of the books Derek has to read multiple times a day. I don't know what I'm going to do when I reach the renewal limit with the library. :)

Another book Derek likes. Don't ask me why the possum's mother is a human or why it wears a diaper.



Talking in his own way



Dancing to his favorite part in How to Train Your Dragon

You're such a cute mom Kadi. I LOVED the dancing video, especially as he started to get so dizzy at the end. Also, I didn't know you could draw! That dragon picture is pretty awesome.
