Conversation

The other night events went something like this...

Evan was playing with his new elephant ball-popping toy.  Ryan came over and did something (that's where the events get fuzzy.)  Whatever that something was it was followed by screaming and crying...by Ryan!  Evan bit Ryan!  Of course I, in my not-so-nice-Mommyness was thinking to myself "paybacks buddy".  Nevertheless I had to address the issue...somewhat.  Evan was scolded (a tad) and Ryan was comforted (a tad), but I explained to Ryan that over the last year and a half Ryan has hit, pushed and even BIT Evan on numerous occasions.  He even once, when Evan was quite small, bit Evan hard enough to leave deep teeth marks.  After our conversation and comforting all things were okay...not great...but okay.

Later that evening this conversation happened...

Me:  "Oh, poof!  I was going to cut Evan's fingernails.  I better do that before he goes to bed."

Ryan:  (On my lap).  "Yeah and can you cut his teeth too?!"

Me:  (laughing).  "Oh, we can cut his teeth like we cut his fingernails?"

Ryan:  "Yeah.  His teeth are sharp!"

He's thinking isn't he?!

Christmas Lights

Saturday night we went on a small family outing, just the 4 of us, to see the Christmas lights.  It was a beautiful night, so we were able to ride the train through the lights display and afterward we walked across the big bridge.  It was a great evening!

Christmas Program 2011

Ryan performed in his very first Christmas Program at Crosspointe Church this weekend. He was a camel in the nativity.  There were 3 services. He made it through 2 and did a fantastic job. All of the kids did a wonderful job presenting the true meaning of Christmas...the birth of Jesus.  

Merry Christmas

Climbing High

Evan has learned how to climb, and boy does he climb. E V E R Y T H I N G!

Some time ago he discovered how to climb the stool and up on the vanity.  He now perches there every morning while I get dressed. 

At least he has good hygiene.

During the Thanksgiving holiday Evan discovered how to climb our bar-height dining chairs and onto well...almost anything he wants.  We now keep all of our chairs laid over otherwise we turn around to find something like this...

At least he hasn't discovered how to do this...

...but I expect it's just a matter of time!

Train Show

Last weekend we went to the OKC Train Show.  We all had a pretty good time.  Of course everyone loved the amazing train displays.  They were fantastic.  Intricate.  Creative.  Fun.

This was the highlight for the kids.  They loved best the wooden trains that they can drive themselves.

My favorite was the Lego train table.  Fantastic!  I've enjoyed Legos since I was a child, and I still find them super fun.  I hope someday my boys can enjoy them too.  This train table was amazing!
