Saturday Party

Yesterday morning we started the day off with a party at our local bouncy place for our friends daughter Sadie. It was a great way to start the day and Ramsey and Ty had a blast running wild.

Adorable Miss Sadie turned 3 and had a Hello Kitty Party:

Ramsey and Ty, best buddies:

Saturday was a fun day with 2 birthday parties at the same place Ramsey had his parties, the tumbling place, Devil Rays. We had one at 4:00 (JT's from his preschool class)and one at 6:00 (his best buddy Ty)so we were in full fun for 4 hours and NO NAP! Ramsey did pretty well but in the boy craziness got a bloody lip, thanks to bands aids (those things heal all in a 3 year olds world). we had a great time had back to back cakes and pizza. This Mommy wasn't complaining since Birthday cake is my favorite! It was a fun afternoon and we just love kids b-days!

Before we left Ramsey just had to try on Mommy boots:

Spring and Easter Shirt Designs

I have been busy creating and adding my Spring and Easter Shirt collections to my business blog. When I first started this business when Ramsey was 4 months old I had no idea it would turn into full time work I LOVE! I mean I get to be a stay at home mommy and work from home doing my hobby for a job. I am thankful every single day. Although, it could not work without a supportive husband, my Mom who takes Ramsey 2 days a week, and preschool. I get to create custom gifts for new babies and cute kids every single day and I love it! Here are my Easter and Spring Line Collections I have been working on.

Valentines Party at Preschool

Ramsey's little class of cuties had a small Valentines party yesterday. I wasn't in charge of the party but went anyway just because Ramsey asked me if I would come. I love that I have created a job that is soooo flexible. I love to see Ramsey interact with his classmates. It was a cute little party with cookies, cheetos, grapes, and cheezits. I love to watch all the kiddos mainly because it gives me renewed faith in Ramsey. I mean some of those kids are wild! The teachers try bless their hearts but man I couldn't do it. In fact two little boys started to actually fight and Ramsey got in their face and yelled "cooperate!" This is his latest new word his Nama taught him. Then we got a valentine from each of his buddies and more candy too!

This little table is only 1/2 of the class. There is a whole other table of little boys too.

My Valentines

I have the two best Valentines in the world, but then again I know I'm partial. I got these beautiful flowers at our door on Friday and then Saturday night Cope took me to Sal Grosso, a Brazilian steak place for perfect date. I love the man that he is and am so thankful he loves me. Then I had this adorable card in my email this morning. My Mom helped Ramsey create it:

Happy Valentines Day to you all. Cheesy holiday or not I still dig it!

Need Some Advice!

So Ramsey just turned 3 and each stage is for sure my favorite. I love the newness of each stage but this one has brought with it NEGOTIATIONS. Meaning Ramsey wants to negotiate EVERYTHING. If I tell him he can have 2 Starburst he wants 3. If I tell him it is time to go to bed and not call me anymore he will find the one thing that can get me back up there(like mommy i need to poop,even if he doesn't). If I tell him it is time to leave for school he says "Just a few more minutes" of Mickey Clubhouse. I feel like he wants to negotiate 100 times a day, oh wait he does. Now I am not a weak person but part of me wants to explain why in the situation and the other part of me wants to say "because I said so". Any advice on what approach has worked for you guys? Is it just the stage? Don't get me wrong I love that my child's brain is constantly churning but should I battle with my 3 year old? Oh, and what is a post without pictures. Here ya go:

Lessons From Ramsey

This morning, like most mornings getting out the door on time is near impossible. I am usually in a crazy hurry and Ramsey isn't cooperating as much as I would like. This morning he was acting a little more naughty then normal so when we FINALLY got in the car he said "mommy, can I have my juice" to which I replied "Nope, if we act naughty we don't get what we want". He thought for a minute and instead of apologizing said "Mommy, you should be nice to your child".

Thanks buddy, I'll keep that one in mind.
