Spring Break

Is it really snowing during Spring Break? This is the question I asked myself over and over again. Yes it is true. We had snow on the ground for part of Spring Break. I had big plans for Cohen and me during my time off. I wanted to go on walks, take Cohen to the park, and spend time outside playing on our grass. But none of these things have happened yet! Instead, we have cleaned the house, folded laundry and last of all, destroyed my clean house. Cohen's new favorite thing to do is play on his mattress. Who would have known that taking the mattress out on the floor to replace sheets could turn into the coolest trampoline for Cohen. My little boy bounced, danced, drooled, slipped, played, and laid on the mattress until he was ready for his nap. I found that I have had to be very creative to keep Cohen and me sane while indoors over the break. We are both way to excited to get outside and play!

Easter was a few days ago and we had a fun time. Cohen hunted for Easter eggs in the house. I guess hunt is the wrong word to use. Tyler lined the eggs up in a row so all he had to do was crawl from one egg to another until he reached his Easter Basket. Does my son ever do what I expect him to? Of course not! He went to one egg and then decided to chase it around the kitchen because that was way more exciting to him. Then I bring him back to the next egg and the same pattern follows. Needless to say, getting from our bedroom door to his Easter Basket took about 10 minutes of chasing Cohen around the house. When he finally got to his basket, his face lit up. Tyler and I thought he was so excited to get his basket, but when he reaches for it, what does he grab? His bat! Yep! That is my boy. Who cares about the cute little basket with a new bath toy when you can have your baseball bat. I guess he is officially a Nelson boy if he will choose his bat over a new toy.

After conference, we headed up to the Nelson's for dinner and to see Cohen's cousins. As we are sitting there visiting, Cohen is into everything. Everyone was so good to help try to keep Cohen entertained. At one point, I see him playing with a chair. I notice the chair looks like it is broken. Come to find out, our sweet little angel broke the chair the last time he was over. Great! Good thing Cohen has a Grandma that doesn't get mad about those things. Next thing I know, Cohen has broken off one of the wooden pieces off the back of the chair. Apparently, Cohen wasn't too happy with his dad for making him leave his bat home and has decided to find a new one to play with. Luckily, all the little babies were being held and he didn't hurt anyone with his wooden bat!
