FUN AT HOME

Lately Noah has been totally enjoying everything

about FIRETRUCKS. This is his first illustration for a book.

He also enjoyed using the whole punch and putting little tiny

papers pieces all over the floor...part of the fun of making

a book

A silly little monkey came to my window..demanding a banana

Mmmmmmmmmm Carmel corn...

this was a true smile for what was about to come

Uhhhh Ohhh...Noah dumped my planter over the deck...

and then spread the dirt everywhere. I was not looking for 1 minute....

and this is what I came back to....the love of boys and dirt....oh well...what

can you do....it's only dirt

Princess Emily Joy

Emily loves this new Krinkle dolly from Grammy Sandi and Papa Perry...and

swats at it all the time....I am sure she is trying to grab it but just not quite

there yet....but I am not expecting her to do it...I mean she is only 2

She smiles all the time...with the most beautiful smile..

just like her Daddy.

SPECIAL DAY

Every parent dreams of the day when there child first goes poop in the toilet. As much as having little Miss Emily being an amazing thing....it was a slight set back for our big boy...he decided he wanted to put the potty training on hold and be like Emily. However today was a VICTORY....POOP in the POTTY....for MR NOAH...he was so proud of himself and excited to shoot the bathroom spray and get a couple M & M's. We are not big fans of rewarding kids for learning things they need to learn just so they will do something...but at this point...if M&Ms make it happen in our house...that will work for us. Tomorrow may not be quite the same victory...but that's OK...ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Pirate Time

Hmmmmm what ship should I take over today....how about my MOM...

Noah is enjoying "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" from Veggie Tales...so

everything right now is about Pirates.

morning at our house

Noah just adores Emily and always wants to take care of her.
