Trains

Jonathan put this train track together all by himself. He really likes me to play with him, so it is kind of rare for him to put it together all alone. My job, on this particular morning, was to keep David from destroying it.

Reading

The boys love to be read to. Library day is a very special day at our house. We go once a week, usually on Thursday or Friday. There is an amazing donut shop just behind the library, so we go there sometimes too. Yummy!

Cooking Buddies

We made sopapillas a couple of Sundays ago. They weren't as awesome as I remember they were when my dad made them growing up, but we still enjoyed eating them with honey and powdered sugar. The boys always want to help me make anything, and now that the weather is getting cold, and we are inside more, I often have two chairs pushed up to the counter with all of the whisks, wooden spoons, measuring cups and spoons, and bowls. It is a huge mess, but we have lots of fun.

Daddy!

 The boys just tackle Daddy as soon as he walks in the door. They almost fight over who gets to wrestle him first, but they are happy enough to see him, that they usually don't fight. David wants to get in on the action here. He actually sat on Edmund's head. Love it.

Pre-School

 I've started doing a mini rotating preschool with my friend across the street. This is our first day. We ate graham crackers and made animal puppets.

Sleepy Head

 David is giving Jonathan a kiss. He loves kissing Mama and Dad and Jonathan too.

Jonathan actually sleeps in this position. If we sneak in his room while he is asleep, he will be asleep like this. His feet hanging off the bed and everything. I have no idea how that is comfortable at all. He also refuses to sleep under his blankets or sheets. He just says, "No, I have my soft blanket." The blanket is small enough that it only covers about half of him. Darling Jonathan. He is so funny and so particular.

David and Bunny

 David loves his bunny. If it is possible, I think David is more attached to his bunny than Jonathan is to his teddy bear. David is tickling the bunny in the face with the giant flower. He also likes to take his sippy cup and give the bunny a drink. Today he read his "Kitten: Touch and Feel" book to the bunny. He even rubbed the bunny's face against the soft kitty fur and the "rough pink tongue." He is is just magically adorable and sweet.

 He is coming into Jonathan's room to wake him up from his nap. It is his daily ritual. I can't leave him alone for a minute because he will race to Jonathan's room and wake him up. They are crazy about each other.
