While making eggs and chicken sausage this morning, I decided to have a little dance fest in the kitchen. Elijah joined in, while Jonah, being confined to his chair, decided to wave his arms wildly about, throwing his half-eaten banana across the dining room floor. It surprised him, that he had hurled this thing across the floor - his face was hilarious! Wide eyes, then nervous laughter.
Too cute.

mommy updates
Mama, checkin' in.
*Elijah turned to me this afternoon and said, "Can I be a ladybug when I grow up?" When I asked why he wanted to be a ladybug, he at first answered "I don't know" but then stated "Because they have wings. I want some, too!" It was just really cute, how he said it :)
*Sundays consist of morning church, lunch at my parent's, copious amount of sleeping and feasting, and (as of fall) football games. After yesterday night's game (which was a late, late win) I decided to leave the boys uninterrupted, asleep in the front bedroom where they used to live. We three slept over, Jonathan drove home alone :(
Anyway, to awake in my parent's house was strange. I love that house so much, and wish we could buy it if ever they desire to move. It contains many memories, not to mention all the pragmatics - it's the perfect size; it's located in a quiet neighborhood; it has a huge porch in front, that makes morning devotionals peaceful; it has a huge yard in back (in which I would put a small in-ground pool, plant a good-sized garden, plant 2 peach trees, 1 pear tree, 1 apple tree, a couple blueberry bushes... yeah, obviously I have BIG plans ;)
We all slept soundly... except the small babe Jonah, who has been cutting teeth and growing. He was up for a midnight snack (and 2am snack, and 4:30am snack). Let me tell ya, these spontaneous lapses into no sleep are ANNOYing. Just when I get comfy... geesh!
He is preciously cute, though - sleepless or sleepful nights. And he is mine, so. There's that.
*Jonah loves his brother. Always has a smile for Elijah, always giggles at his antics. I hope I remember the sound of Jonah's laughter, and the funny faces Elijah would put on to elicit such laughter. Such a blessing.

simple saturday pleasures
This morning, Daddy and I went to the Watson's for a Christmas play meeting. Mama walked over a little later, with Jonah in the sling. We played with wooden zippy cars and farm animals. It was a hoot.
Mama had to clean houses this afternoon, so the three of us macho men battened down the hatch at home - eating organic mac n' cheese with tuna and spinach, playing Super Mario Galaxy, and tossing in the leaves outside. What a gorgeous fall day!
Tonight after Mama returned, we all packed into the car and drove into the heart of Milwaukee to try one of the best burgers in the state at Sobleman's Tallgrass Grille. I joyously gobbled up my cheese burger... while poor baby Jo was stuck with mashed peas brought from home (he needs to cut a couple more teeth before he can handle the meatiness of a cheese burger, see.) The nice cashier lady gave me a small, green Carebear toy, which I named "Four" - because of the four-leaf clover on its belly.
It was a wonderful Saturday with my family :)

catching up!
Whew! It's been over a year since I wrote on this thing... I had forgotten the password! Whoopsie.
There is so much to catch you up on. Mama's been.... I mean, I HAVE been... busy. You know. The crazy life of a toddler and all that.
I will write more later. For now, it's off to have my mid-afternoon snack (xigua melon, carrots, and tuna sandwiches), and take a walk outside.
Tootles.

pictures from the last 2 months
riding on the lawn-mower with my papa! i loved beeping the horn :)
swinging at the park with caleb!
going down the slides - wheeeeee!
cousin alexis hoists me up, saving me from the prickly woodchips! ouchie!
i found a dried up worm on our sidewalk, a couple days after a rainstorm.
picking dandelions for my mama!
helping papa rake up the dead foliage in the garden beds. i love to rake!
strolling along during the tulip festival - what a beautifully sunny day!back from oblivion...
It's been a long time, dear friends! So sorry!
You know... I have been busy with life - learning to speak and walking all over and eating with spoons and forks and reading... So I've had my hands full!
My mama speaks of potty-training beginning soon! Yikes! I don't know if I like that big white porcelain bowl - it makes loud noises and sucks everything down into the depths! Hopefully, she'll just let me run around in the backyard butt-naked... no diapers, no toilets. Just earth. That's how it should be!
I have been playing with my wonderful cousins lately - I especially enjoy hanging out with Caleb. He and I are going to be best buds when we grow up. Even now - we go down slides together, we share our mama's ice cream together, we play blocks together, etc. Good times...
Speaking of blocks, my wooden blocks are beckoning my name. I should answer their call! Soon it will be dinner, then bath time, then bed. It has been one exhausting day of life... I think I'll sleep well tonight!
Bye!
