Since my Wordless Wednesday photo this week was from this series, I think it is only fitting to continue from the same incident…. he drank the whole bottle himself!
This version of the popular collage photo birthday invitation layout uses a blue and green color scheme for this little boy. When printed on 5×7 sized, 110 lb. cardstock, the blue is continued onto the back of the card for a unified look. Order this design here: Custom Collage Photo Birthday Invitation – Boy

I could have waited another few years for him to figure out how to climb up on our bar stools. It just gives him another method to reach up onto the counter (besides using the bottom cabinets on the other side as steps) and get forbidden objects. Boy, is he proud of himself though.
1 stick butter
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips
5 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 cup powdered sugar
Melt butter, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Pour over cereal, stirring and making sure everything is completely coated. Pour the powdered sugar in a large brown paper bag and add the chocolate coated cereal. With more room to shake, it’s easier to coat the cereal well and less of a chocolate mess in the bowl.
If your toddler is anything like my little guy, they LOVE candy. However, a lot of Easter candies are choking hazards or just way too much sugar for them. Here are some ideas for safe candies and other items to put inside your toddler’s Easter eggs this year!
- Cheerios
- Mini M&M’s (mixed in with the Cheerios if you like)
- Lucky Charms (especially the marshmallows, my little guy goes crazy for the chocolate ones and the marshmallow bits are hard and small enough that he doesn’t choke).
- Bite- size Milky way bars – soft & no peanuts!
- Stickers – always a favorite around here.
- Fruity Cheerios – brightly colored so it looks more like candy
