Every Boy Grows Up

Adlai wants to be more independent.  He tries.  He does well.  I'll miss the days when he depends on me.  I'll miss the days when I didn't have so much to clean up!  But they grow up and I'll love every step of the way (remind me I said this when we have to potty train him).

Do You Know What is in Your Dishwasher?

Just checking.  I have to check mine every so often.

Because there are things.

A shoe made it into the dishwasher this time.

He's Civilized

My kid likes to use silverware to eat.

Never mind that he's using butter knives.

And just completely forget he's sitting on the floor.

Don't imagine what meal that toasted cheese sandwich may have been from.

Bread

Lilly really likes to make food.  She likes to eat food, too.  That is probably more important to her.  But she tries to be helpful so we try to do things that are more to her ability every now and then.  Her latest creation:

Well planned bread.

Ok, she didn't eat it.  She didn't like how dense it turned out.  I, on the other hand, warmed it in the microwave and dipped it in pizza sauce.  Delicious!

He's Curly

At the moment the boy has curls.  I love them.  I know he needs a hair cut, everyone thinks he is a girl.  But his curls!  My attempt to take a picture of said curls:

A little wisp . . .

 

Sideburns that go on for miles . . .

And curly-whirly . . .

 

When Adlai Attacks

I missed a bunch of pictures so I'm going to sneak them in.  This isn't a picture but a video.  He's too cute!

Lilly!

I probably take more pictures of Adlai these days.  I'm home with him a little more and he isn't as fast.

So I thought I'd throw one in with Lilly.  When she was sitting still!

She's thrilled!

There's a smile!  I think she was doing spelling homework.  She is at an age where she gets excited to do homework.  Until she's frustrated with it.
