Elijah Doing Jumping Jacks

Good entertainment - ask a toddler or preschooler to do jumping jacks for you. :)  So many favorite parts of the videos...

Wheels on the Bus

Should I be offended when Elijah sings "The Wheels on the Bus", he sternly sings and scowls, "The mama on the bus says, 'Go to bed!  Go to bed!  Go to bed!"?

"What was that noise?" - Video from May 2015

I have been going through all the pictures and videos on my phone.  Here's a good one - Elijah is so funny!

(For the part that you may not understand, Elijah is saying, "We're closing our eyes because there's a bear.")

Back from Florida and Nathaniel's Nickname

We are back from Florida!  Here's a picture after dinner one night. I love them!!

Also before I forget, wanted to share Nathaniel's nicknames:

Nathaniel-->Nafini-->'Fini-->'Fins (pronounced ph-enes)

He doesn't respond to any of the nicknames but we (Dad, Mom and Elijah) like to call him by one of the nicknames. :)

(Elijah, 3.4 years; Nathaniel, 18 months)

Anonymous Conversation Between a Husband and Wife...

Background: Husband is working on a bathroom remodel.

Husband: I need help with the bathroom and don't trust you.

Wife: What do you mean?  I won't be able to hold something?

Husband: No, I don't trust you.

Big Boy Bed

Elijah finally moved to a big bed on 12/6/14 at 3.3 years (3 years, 3 months)!  He's been asking for a bed for a while but his parents were pretty lazy about buying a mattress.  But Dave and I also wanted to "contain the beast" and keep him in the crib as long as possible since he stayed in it.

A few pictures before the disassembley of his crib.  Looking back, he does kind of look big for a crib.

 

Do-Do told him it was like a cage for a lion so Elijah started to roar.

 

First night in the crib (picture taken with a flash).

 

First morning in the new bed!  Happy customer.

 

2nd night in the crib.

Since getting the new bed, he doesn't really nap anymore!  He's had it for 3+ weeks now and has only napped a few times. :(  At night though, he goes to bed a little later but knows to stay in his bed and knows he cannot get out.

Pictures from November and December

Nathaniel breaking in his new boots.  He really likes to wear and play with shoes.

  

Both boys fixing the chair. Thank goodness we have handy boys.

Matching boots.

This guy is so good looking but I'm bias!

 

The boys love helping dad on the bathroom remodeling project.  Three months and counting. :)

 

 

 

 

Left Picture: The boys likes to go to the pet store - a favorite winter activity.

Right Picture: Elijah uses the tripod as his microphone. Nathaniel does this as well.

 

Talking on the phone!

 

Left Picture: Does Nathniel look innocent?

Right Picture: He wore this for a few days.  He's started that back up again on 12/31/14.
