We have enjoyed every day of his three years. I'm pretty sure he has, too. He had his party last weekend at Brooksby Farm. The kids all had a lot of fun -- perhaps a little too much fun, at times. There was a bit of roughhousing, too. Fortunately, nobody needed more than kisses for boo-boos.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from the party (for those of you not on Facebook)...<br />

He has been interested in vehicles for a while' at first, everything was a car to him. Then he began differentiating between things. He looks up whenever he hears a plane overhead and points it out to us, and he loves trucks and boats, too--but he REALLY loves trains. <p>Theo received his train set as a very generous hand-me-down gift on Sunday evening. For much of this week, he didn't want to eat or sleep--he just wanted to play with his new Thomas trains. It's a train obsession! <p><object style="background-image: url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/i4yBvWJJdhE/hqdefault.jpg);" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4yBvWJJdhE&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4yBvWJJdhE&hl=en_US&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11931323707488046760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774731256169476786.post-71780242534948925762010-02-10T21:51:00.004-05:002010-02-18T06:33:04.346-05:00Words, words, words!Theo is a very vocal little boy.

Theo is really too young to "behave" - why should he sit still in church, when there are so many new things to look at? I try to do my best to keep him from being distracting, or from damaging anything (including himself), but other than that, there's not a whole lot I can do to reason with him if he is determined to go for a walk. However, in places like a restaurant, it's even ok to be a little distracting - as long as the people around don't mind.<br /><br />We took him with us out to eat twice this weekend. He can't sit still for a whole restaurant meal. So, the only way we can take him out with us is if we take turns walking him around between courses. Of course, he walks himself around at this point. So, our job is mostly to make sure he doesn't get into trouble or become a nuisance. Fortunately, his curls and winning smile make it very hard for anyone to see him as a nuisance. <br /><br />He will walk around for 5 or 10 minutes at a time (including falls, sits, and stands) "talking" to other patrons and admiring decorations. I figure as long as those around continue smiling, that not only is he not being a nuisance, but he is improving the experience. Smiles are contagious, and babies' are some of the most infectious. <br /><br />Wherever he goes, Theo gets smiles nearly everywhere he looks. His perception of the world must be very skewed on the happy scale... Or maybe it's just that the world around him is a happier place.Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15588406391550947077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774731256169476786.post-26163378925260481222009-09-20T20:39:00.003-04:002010-02-10T22:10:12.307-05:00One year old!Happy first birthday, Theo!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://theodore.hains.net/uploaded_images/Picture-2-702324.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 400px;" src="http://theodore.hains.net/uploaded_images/Picture-2-702001.png" alt="" border="0" /></a>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11931323707488046760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774731256169476786.post-15313357180104090502009-09-08T17:07:00.006-04:002009-09-08T17:45:31.686-04:00Water babiesTheo and I visited <a href="http://themadeiratriplets.blogspot.com/2009/09/not-so-lazy-summer-days.html">the Madeira Triplets</a> this summer and had a great time.

I figured I might as well let him play for a few minutes - after all, what can he do that I couldn't fix? So, I opened Notepad for him and let him down to the keyboard.<br /><br />After convincing him not to put it in his mouth, it took him about 8 keystrokes to turn my monitor PORTRAIT. Umm... I wasn't expecting THAT. I laughed and asked him what he did and he just said, "Uaaah aaaooaah."<br /><br />I decided Theo's turn was over, and proceeded to attempt to fix the problem, with my head cocked to the left, and my mouse turned sideways... After looking through the display settings, I finally gave up and consulted Google, which produced the answer on my second search string. (<ctrl><alt><arrow keys>)<br /><br />I was rather impressed with the speed with which little TECH stumped me.
