a Thursday home with Mommy.

our babysitter's son was sick (got the text at 4:30 am). it was Wes' day shift and i felt like a decision needed to be made immediately if i was going to stay home since a sub needed to be called in (students arrive at 8am). usually we call our friend who often helps out with days like this...but it was so early and truthfully i was excited to stay home with this cute little boy. (aside from the fact i needed to go into work at 6am to write lesson plans for the substitute teacher...i was excited to stay home. and really...what other job do you need to leave lesson plans for?? geez.)

i snapped a few photos as he played with the maracas he got the night before from Liam. his bedhead hair in these photos cracks me up! {it was right after morning nap.}

looks like Colton has the coolest hair do in this pic!

getting a bit emotional.
{I he was hungry, I wasn't offering milk as quickly as he'd like.}

you can "see" the change in his demeanor from totally happy and content to hungry. and hungry NOW.
{last 3 pics were taken in about 1 minutes time.}
p.s. don't judge cuz i snapped this photo. i think he's adorable...even when he's emotional and i immediately saw to his needs. i promise i'm a great mommy. :)

nothing a little snuggle from Mom can't fix. (oh, and he was fed. that makes everything better!)
