Ice Cream Man

 Growing up on a dead end road in the middle of a more rural suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, I was not accustomed to ice cream trucks.  I remember one day when I was in my teens we actually had an ice cream truck drive down our road.  Perhaps the driver was lost, but I will never forget it.  We got something off that truck, for certain!

 While Cole will be no stranger to ice cream trucks based on where we live right now I just couldn't resist reliving that nostalgia today and so he got an Oreo cookie ice cream bar.  I think he pronounces it Owo.  A little thank you to Uncle Chris for introducing Cole to Oreos in general.  He asks for them whenever he sees them at the store :).

Once it started dripping and Cole started getting a little messy he was done with the ice cream sando.  I wasn't too sad...it was quite tasty!

Playdate and Room Art

 This is Cole playing with his friend, Reese.  I was just so excited that he played so well with a little girl!  They had a blast!

 Whole wheat banana choc chip muffins aren't so bad, eh?

This is my reinterpretation of a similar print I saw on art.com (not using cars, but vehicles of another sort).  I decided to make my own picture using Cole's cars...cool, huh!?  This will be going in his room and I will likely make a few more of them! :)

Some More of Cole's 3 Year Portraits.

 I loved capturing him with his Rahr.  His blankie is very special to him.

The last few were me experimenting with flash:).  Good experiment.
