Father - Son project...

Every weekend Ilya and I have a pact with one another...I get up with Auden at the a** crack of dawn on Saturday, and he gets up with him on Sunday. It's only fair, right? Seeing as I don't get a leisurely half hour of 'reading' every morning...shower...gym time where I don't have one ear bud in at all times in case daycare calls me over the intercom...and a half hour drive to work, ALONE. No, I'm not bitter...just stating the facts...and perhaps laying the groundwork for why I should get to sleep in Saturday AND Sunday mornings. ; ) Just kidding, honey!
But back to the topic at hand...Sunday morning Ilya had a new project planned for he and Auden to pass the time while I snoozed...and this Sunday it was a wooden train that needed to be glued together and then painted. All you mommies out there who can hear me...do NOT let your spouses undertake a painting project without shaking them by the shoulders and reminding them that two year olds will get paint on everything! Now Auden is a very careful kid...but we still had paint up the arms, on the jammies, on the booster seat, on the table...you get the idea. In any case...the results were adorable...check it out...
