More Happenings

 

Reacted to his first table food. Red Pepper hummus. He loved eating it. Dang it. He still has more foods he can eat than both my big boys combined at this age, so it's just a hiccup.  

Family Game Afternoon! Mostly games we had never played so it was fun to find some new ones! Lewis liked all of them. Augustine was a really good sport and participated. 

Augustine liked Mouse Trap (new version) the most. Confirmation that I will never buy it. So. Annoying. Because no kid wants to actually play the game. They just want to trigger the trap over and over, and who can blame them? It's cool!  

Met the best school friend's new baby sister. Augustine just LOVES babies. And really, look at how cute she is!!! 

Max has settled into our family since joining us on Christmas. Lewis and Grandma Susan made him his own bed and blanket. Max is pleased as punch. 

 We tried coloring. Um...no.

I made a house area downstairs (laundry, babies, kitchen, dining area) when we made room for the Winter Energy Release Gym.  

Lewis was SO tired yesterday but, of course, would NEVER admit it. We cuddled a lot and watched more tv than usual. Whatever. No one melted down (me included). 

 

I have never in all my years of preschooling seen a 4 year old master watercolor paints. Until now. Perfect paint/water ratio, rinsing of the brush between colors, and zero frustration. I couldn't believe it! 

Large Motor area for the winter win. They have been jumping/crashing for a week now, so they have beeen giving wrestling a try on the crash pad. We have had ball pit balls for quite a few years now but needed a bigger pit for growing boys, which came yesterday.  

Lewis insists he likes yogurt, but doesn't. He ate about 3 spoonfuls and that was it. That didn't stop me from taking a photo for Aunt Beth and texting her "He is in for the night!" If you don't know that reference then you need to YouTube Ellen Degeneres Gogurt. You won't be disappointed.  

Lewis whispers everything he is thinking. He found this GIANT box of chocolates at my parents house. I heard him from the kitchen when he whispered

Yeez ah weel? I sink yeez ah weel candy!!!

Yeah, kid. Those are real Swiss chocolates, and there better still be some in that box once I'm off this nursing diet.
