       The little blue Dolphin, is Dolphinanie. Jaylen usually isn't attached to stuffed animal toys but he's so like me in many ways, that when something is received in a special way I get attached to it. Although Miss Dolphinaine came out of a Walmart toy machine it's the fact that we actually won it that made him so excited and why he got so attached so fast. So when we spent the day at the park and then the library over the last weekend and Dolphinanie made an appearance in most of the pictures that day. Watching Jaylen grow up and really become his own person it's truly amazing to watch because you start to really see yourself in your child in these young years, and it still amazes me at times when I look at him that he came from me and that he's all mine to love.. 

Pirate Day.

 

      September 19th was National Pirate Day, I was unaware of this holiday until Jaylen started attending his new daycare. I say new very lightly just because he has been there since the beginning of this year. It's a home based facility and wouldn't have him in any other place. He was in a facility daycare at one point and they were just so expensive and like robots really. Here he gets one on one attention and they learn so much and in different ways that challenges them. One thing I really like about the daycare he's in, is that the two teachers really take an interest in all of the kids they care for. They give assessments and sit down and talk with the parents about how to better help your child with what ever he is struggling with, they give reasonable homework for them that is fun yet helps them learn how to become better at the skill. So if you haven't had the best luck with corporate facility daycare's I 100% recommend looking into a home based daycare but do your research and take the time to look around and visit these places. 

             One other reason I love the home based daycare is what they do for the kids like Pirate Day or take them to see a kids play or have a mini party for them when it's their birthday. For Pirate Day all the parents had to do was sign up for an item to bring for the party and they did the rest and when I picked him up that day after work he looked like this! Sooooo cute I started taking pictures immediately. They took the time with them to paint their faces and really dress them up and it was just adorabs! Definitely gives me ideas for Halloween costumes. Daycare shouldn't be a place where you take your child and they are just running around with no structure or where there is so much structure it feels robotic. Parents and first time parents when it's time for daycare do your research. 

Kool Jay.

I'm going to start highlighting little Jay's outfits again like I used to in post titled "What Jay Wore" My mom got this way super cute hat for him and he just adores it and really knows how to rock it!. The picture of his hair I just had to add because I love this kids hair so much, it's super curly like mine and he's very particular about his hair. He only lets me cut it and style it.. by style I mean with a bit of water and spray conditioner Take all the inspiration you need for your little dudes!

Glow Fun.

Last weekend my Mom, Jaylen and I went glow golfing! I haven't been glow golfing in some time since I lived in Washington and even then it was nothing like this place! I was in an amateur amazement awe with how cool this place looked. My mom at one point told me to stop taking so many pictures, but everything just looked so cool and the angles I was able to get of Jaylen golfing were just great. We had a really good time, no score keeping which made it more relaxing but at times we would keep track of how many hits it took to get the ball in, and a few times Jaylen scored a par 3. This cute little glow golfing place is nestled in a mall right next to a popular movie theater we always go to, and right in the heart of a tourist spot. So if you're visiting or even live local and have never been here I recommend checking it out: http://www.puttingedge.com/

Muted Colors.

Lately the weather has become more.. fall like. So I absolutely love it because then that means I can wear what I call comfort clothes. Living in Washington State that's all I knew, so it's more comfy for me to be covered up and causally dressed. I was just running some errands and I like to be sure I look fashionable, I never over do it but I like to look decent at least when I'm out and about. Take all the inspiration you need ladies!

Summer Nights.

         As summer comes to an end here in sunny Florida it doesn't really end, fall comes, but to most it still feels of summer. I can't say I feel the same, I do sense a change in the air, I let the windows down in the car a lot more when driving instead of the stale air of  the AC. I would have to say the rises and sets of the sun in the summer here are so so pretty that at any time I have to chance to see them I want to capture it. In the pictures above this is all from one night which is really amazing how it can go from a peaceful sunset to one lone thunder cloud. It's a beauty I understand yet really don't all at the same time. Our world and the atmosphere that in cases us amazes me all the time with it's beauty. And  although we all see clouds everyday and sometimes without a second thought that they are there, I get lost in them each  and every time.. dreaming.
