praise: the husband's parents made it safely home from their travels.
prayer: the son has been struggling with jealousy the past few days.
playfulness: today, i taught the son the fine art of eating apples - dip them in peanut butter!!!
yesterday, the son was determined to get "woody" to stay on his back for a horsey ride. it was cute watching him lay down, put woody on, then try to get up on all fours without woody falling. right now, he's throwing woody up on the counter top-saying "woody's up there" then getting him down. we have yet to figure it out, but the son likes to put woody's hat on him, then make him "dance around" and giggles. we think it might be that he is trying to copy "andy" on toy story when andy makes woody ride. now woody's legs are around the son's neck with woody hanging down the son's back. the son just told him to "hang on". i love that woody doll-now the son plays by himself part of the day.
another one of the son's past times is playing with his "bug box". it's a wooden box covered with wire netting to catch bugs-one problem, he doesn't catch bugs with it. he likes to put a small chicken, monkey and giraffe in it. they are pieces broken off of a noah's ark music box. he puts the pieces in, then shakes them out of the small hole and repeats the process over and over and over again.
i have called the kids "chunks" in the past. this past saturday, the son said "auburn's a chunk, landon's a chunk, mommy's a chunk." later that evening, we were at my mom's house and he told her she was a chunk. thankfully, he doesn't really know what it means, so we don't have to take it personally! (even if it does apply)
we had the byers over the other day. after saying something to "miss amber", the son called daddy - "miss daddy". that went over real well; we all laughed except the husband.
about a week ago, the son fell asleep in the daughter's car seat-sucking on her pacifier that he had found. yes, i got a picture of it. i can't wait to scrapbook all of his funnies.
the daughter is pushing her torso up and holding her head up real well now. there will be new pictures up on the website soon. i got a metal clip in her hair yesterday after her bath. it stayed in until her hair dried-then it slipped out. so cute!!!!
well, gotta go for now-woody is going ni-night, per the son's instructions.
