Ok...Daddy needs to come home soon

It was laundry day in the Arguelles household and Eric decided to help. After dumping all of the clean clothes out of the basket he found what he was in the mood to wear that day. It happened to be one of my shirts that looked like a dress on him. He looks good in pink! He refused to take if off and wore it for a few hours. He also made his way into our room to help put the clothes away and spotted yet another great find...my heels. I do have to say that they make his legs look shapely and fantastic! He loves to play with my jewelry, he loves helping me put on makeup, he knows what the blowdryer does and he is in love with the curling iron. The only thing that gives me hope is that he still does gross little boy stuff like eat dirt and pick his nose. I can't wait for Elmer to come back and show him how to do man stuff. Until then I will just have fun taking pictures that I can black mail him with later.

Bye Bye Daddy

Well we experienced our saddest day to date. We had to once again say goodbye to Elmer after only 2 weeks together. I think this time was harder than the first. It was so sad. After Elmer left we have had car trouble and just trouble adjusting to being alone again. It is hard being a single parent. I am in charge of everything and it is tough. Elmer made it safely back to his base and we are keeping in touch via the webcam but it isn't as good as having Daddy with us here so we can give him hugs and kisses. He left May 19th so this post is old news. I just want to thank all of you for your prayers and good thoughts. Soon we will all be back under one roof and this will be something we can look back on and laugh...one day.

Trier

Self portrait

Heaven!!!

Don't you wish your boyfriend was hot like me?

While Elmer was here on R&R we went to Trier. We have been there before but it is just such a nice change of pace. Eric had fun! He got ice cream and Yi Yi's at McDonalds and he got out for a stroll and he got goodies. There are tons of ice cream stands around and he yelled Ice Cream! at all of them. When we went into Dom St. Peter they have candles you can light. You are supposed to be reverent since it is a church. Eric associates candles with birthdays so he began so sing Happy Day To Do at the top of his lungs :) Too funny! We finally found a little mall (WOW!!!) and he got some there. You have to understand that we have lived here for 4 + years and have yet to see an actual mall. It was a huge deal for us! We had so much fun just spending time with Daddy!

Bed Making Boycott

Eric is taking a stand! That's right no more making the bed. I was attempting to make the bed one morning when he decided that he had other plans. Now it has become a morning routine. He loves to climb up there and lay back on the pillows and he looks at me like he is the king and I am only a lowly servant. He is so funny. He also loves to unmake an already made bed. I guess that he figures since it is going to be slept in anyway what's the point in making it. I tried that when I was younger too. If only I had been a cutie pie I may have been able to get away with it.

Birthday Party, Happy Feet Style

For Eric's 2nd Birthday we did a Happy Feet theme. We decorated the night before and when he came out he was so excited! It was 7am and I was so tired still. Elmer changed his (Eric's) diaper (tee hee hee) and let him loose. I was hoping to get his reaction on film. I was just getting out of bed when Eric pushed open the door and said "Wow! Look at dat! Happy Deet! Mumble!!! Wow!" It was well worth it. We had tons of balloons which he loved! We also had great food. The Gordon's came to celebrate with us and we had a great time playing with Eric's presents. He really enjoyed his cupcake but he refused to sing Happy Birthday. Usually whenever I light a candle he starts singing "Happy Day To Do" at the top of his lungs. He is so funny! I am so glad that he had a great time. After all of that partying we put him down for a nap and then put his train table together. He woke up to an amazing surprise! He loved it! All in all it was great!

Park

We went to the park last week and Eric had a blast while Daddy had a heart attack! He hasn't seen Eric play in a long time. In fact when he left Eric could barely walk. We had a great time together playing in the sand and the slides.

Nothing Blooming at the Blumen field

We went to the Blumen Field in Mackenbach hoping to get some fresh tulips. It is so neat to be able to go through and cut our own flowers. Unfortunately nothing was blooming! I did manage to get some good pictures of Eric and Elmer. We ended up going to a local flower shop and getting some roses there. Elmer was just happy to see something besides sand.
