December 26, 2011

The day after Christmas, we enjoyed a quiet day full of playing and resting.  A day that Hayden stayed in his PJ’s all day.  Well, maybe I did too?DSC_0289

Hayden LOVES his trains and tracks!  But, his new organizer just didn’t have a big enough top for the tracks and we don’t have room for a train table.  So, after looking a bit online and on Pinterest for ideas, Jeff whipped up this table for Hayden to put all his train tracks on.  We made it this size so it would fit under his bed.  Jeff used materials we had around the house .  He used quarter round trim and hardboard (peg board without holes) and it has worked out perfect!  I plan on putting some furniture sliders on the bottom so it will slide around on the carpet easier.

When Mom, Dad, and Robin got home that afternoon from visiting my brother and his family, we headed to their house to exchange gifts with Taylor and Blaze and Blade (they all came home with Mom and Dad).

Hayden got some new building blocks and a CARS ball pit.  It took everyone to get that bad boy aired up.  It was quite a site to watch!

I am not sure who was more excited.  Blaze or Hayden.

Somehow we have managed to keep the ball pit and Nanny and Granddaddy's.  I am not sure how long they will let us get away with that! 

Since Blaze has been at Mom and Dads, Blaze got to come play.  Hayden loves playing with the big boys!  Blaze was so funny.  He would put letters and words on the chalk board and ask Hayden what they said.  Hayden actually got a few letters right!  Yay!

I really need write an actual blog post about this, but we are blown away each day by Hayden’s vocabulary and knowledge.  He is getting so big and smart!
