What a Stinker!

The little guy came home from school with a note today. He dictated it and his teacher wrote it down. It said:

Dear Eric,

[Little Booger] was good all day. I hope you were good at [your company].

From.
Mrs. J

That kid. Seriously, what a little stinkpot.

Great Idea?

Look what they realized they could do today!

 What could possibly go wrong here?

Who cares what could go wrong when you're having this much fun?!!?

Maps

The little guy is really curious about where things are, so we've been spending some time looking at maps, both online and on paper. Eric was watching baseball and the boy and I were looking at where our extended family lives. The baby was playing quietly at my feet. Ha! We should've been paying more attention!

Please note that it was hot enough for the baby to be in just a diaper, and the little guy is wearing long sleeves and a sweater vest.

Lions and Tigers and...

...STAIRS! Oh my!

She's crawling all over the place with less fussing these days, and tonight she started up the stairs. 

Thankfully this is as far as she made it, despite the fact that her older brother was four stairs up calling for her. We're going to have to start working with him on that. (Please don't kill your sister!)

Little Pitchers

Little pitchers have big ears... and sometimes I need to do a better job remembering that. Tonight I called Eric a little jerk about something (in a completely loving way, of course), and the little guy chirped "little turd? turt? turtle? Little turtle." Phew! Lesson learned!
