Watch out Flo Rida

Collin is currently obsessed with FloRida's song Good Feeling. He has also taken to the video thanks to Daddy loading it on his phone!

Today Collin told me he wanted to show me something an took off up to his room with a Sharpie. He came down with a few new additions-some sweet new Sharpie tats...just like FloRida!! He then proceeded to act out the video for me. Good times!

I can't say for sure but I doubt FloRida wears Buzz Lightyear jammies, plastic mardi gras beads and Spidey sunglasses. I could be wrong-just sayin.

Collin's 5th homecoming

We celebrated Collin's 5th Homecoming Day today!

On Homecoming Day you get to do whatever you would like to do as a family. This is the first year he has had school all day so our options were limited. In a few years I may sneak him out of school but not quite yet.

He had his current favorite breakfast, Nutella crepes with strawberries.

And after school we headed to Chuck E Cheese for some fun!

Which one is the 5 year old???LOL!

Kennywood

This summer we won free passes to Kennywood at the Clippers game. I had never heard of it and wasn't really too excited until I looked it up on the Internet. I'm trying to have some special "alone time" with just Collin and I so I thought this would be the perfect idea. We loaded up and head to Pittsburgh-one of my favorite places!

They had lots of kid sized rides there and it wasn't a huge overwhelming park so that was nice. It was also crazy busy that day!!

He lasted for a couple of hours and about 1000 grams of sugar and said he was ready to go. No Pittsburgh trip is complete without a stop at IKEA...I just wasn't sure I could sell it. They have a play area there but the last time we tried it he wasn't having any part of it.

Well, he loved it and I got an hour or two to look around! When we left he asked if we could go back to IKEA again...well YES WE CAN!

Time to visit Dr. Jojo

Good times at the dentist! Thank goodness for pediatric dentists! I remember as a kid HATING the dentist. I still hate the dentist-maybe Dr. Jojo will take me on as a patient?!?

Xray time!

School days

Well, we have officially started full day Kindergarten! Collin LOVES school so far!

Yep, he's the smallest one out there playing catch. The older kids have nicknamed him "'Lil Chip". I have no clue where that came from but as long as he doesn't mind, I don't mind.

Here he is lined up with his class waiting to go in to the building.

We tried keeping track of the days counting up to the 100th day but I think we made it to about 6 and forgot about it!

Passing time

Here is how we pass time at the doctor... iPhone's and tongue depressors!

We are about 2 months late for the 18 month well visit because the poor kid was always there for sick visits. We finally made it! Poor Tyler had to get 5 shots though because he missed his 15 month shots. But, he was a trooper. He only cried during the shots and about 10 seconds after then he was fine. He was not a big fan of the scale this time but we managed to get an estimate of 23 lbs 14oz. and 32 1/2 inches. I thought he weighed a lot more than that!
