Twinkies

These two intentionally dressed alike today and requested I take their picture for the blog.

I still remember when Nate didn't want anything to do with Nile...

Breakfast buddies

Thomas and Salty are joining us for breakfast this morning!

Gumdrops!

Novak loves Gumdrops! Gumdrops is a Friday play group we have been attending this spring. It's an hour of play, stories, songs, a craft, and a snack. He loves it all - but what he remembers afterward are the songs.

Today at Gumdrops we got to make flower pots!

Tooth-scapades

I'll give him this. When Nate puts his mind to something, he will make it happen. Tooth number 6 is out tonight.

Nate was determined. He wasn't going to bed until it was out.

Nile was in the bathroom as his cheerleader. It was cute.

At one point, Nile says, "If you just had some scissors or something..."

"Nate, try blowing. That will push it out."

For the record, I listened to this from the kitchen. I can't handle the pulling of teeth. Eww.

dreams of flight

Tonight, I rocked Novak before bed, as he was looking out the window at the back yard.

"Mommy, can I fly?"

"No, honey, you can't fly."

"Can I have wings?"

"I'm sorry, only birds have wings.  People don't have wings.  Wouldn't it be great if we did?  Would you like to be a bird?"

"Yes."

"What color bird would you be?"

"Blue."

"Oh, I like blue.  You'd be a pretty blue bird."

"Can I be red?"

"Sure, you can be red."

"Can I be a red cardinal?"

"Yes, you can be a red cardinal."
