Summer Buzz and Sandals!

This weekend was a big weekend in the life of little P-man.  We had another gorgeous AZ weekend, sunny, 70-78 degrees, slightly windy. Amazing.  So, I busted out some of Porter's new spring outfits (courtesy of Grandma Helen) and we spent most of the weekend outside.  Lemme just say, our boy is obsessed with being outside.  Seriously, it is bad (but good).  He cries SO hard when we bring him in, he would live out there if we let him.  This weekend included a long walk, several wagon rides, several trips to the park, and pretty much all day running back and forth across our driveway, moving rocks and exploring.  I don't think he picked up a toy once this weekend.  Rocks, leaves, sticks and the wagon were his best buds.

Along with the warmer weather, my budding outdoors man and a 20% coupon that was going to expire, I decided to get him some new summer sandals from our go to shoe stop, Stride Rite.  Other people may disagree on spending that much money on children's shoes, but I believe a forming foot should be in a good, supportive, well built shoe.  Plus, they have an awesome return policy and 20% off my purchase helped!.  So, while we can, we opt to purchase one or two good pairs of shoes instead of lots of less expensive ones.  Anyway, they are too dang cute for words.  Seriously, they are big boy sandals...... he looked like a toddler in them I couldn't believe it!  He has big feet (size 6 already!) and  of course, wide, just like me (poor child!). We chose one blue pair and one brown.  Both with toe coverage.  P-man takes a fair amount of spills so I wanted his toes protected.

These are my favorite!

We didn't stop there though!  I have been contemplating buzzing Porter since his first haircut.  I think it is cooler, takes longer to grow back, and I have been told that buzzing them at this age can make the new hair that grows back thicker.  Also, it just looks cute.  But I was not prepared for my baby to age 2 years!  Poor P-man though he was gonna have peaceful snack time with his Cheerio's and got ambushed! Daddy took over (after realizing mama does not know how to work the clippers very well) and the rest is history.  Gotta clean up some spots after bath time but for the most part it was great! 

With his big boy sandals and new buzz cut, Porter is spring/summer ready! He really is turning into such a big, jovial little man.  Getting bigger and learning more every day.  It is so fun to get a front row seat to watch him grow.

Busy bee outside
