Just a Glimpse

at what you would see in our house after dinner.



I admit that Chili is a very messy choice for 15 month olds but they seem to like it. Brooke is definitely the messiest one of them. She manages to get food everywhere. Don't even think about mentioning the words "head" "ears" or "peek-a-boo" while she's eating, even if it is just in conversation.

Nathan was being very cheesy. You can tell that he's not quite as messy. He's a very good eater and takes one little bite at a time. He also uses his fork and spoon more than Brooke, but there are times when he likes to put them on his head (check earlier post).

From the Mouth of a Four Year Old

Here's a few for ya.

A few weeks ago when Dominic was hanging drywall in Brooke's room, the kids and I were downstairs in the family room playing. Lenny was pushing around a car when Dominic drilled into the drywall and we could hear it very loud in the family room. Right then Lenny said, "Oh, I think I blew a piston." He then looked at his car and said, "No, I didn't" and went back to playing.

Last week at a birthday party, Lenny was so excited about everything they were doing. Someone said, "Lenny, I love how enthusiastic you are." To that Lenny replied, "Like Neville". Neville is an engine from the Thomas shows. Lenny collects all of the Thomas take along engines, wooden engines and the battery operated engines. They each come with a collectors card (except the battery ones). Anyway, Lenny loves the cards and we have to read them to him all the time. He's been like that since he was two. Neville's card says that he is enthusiastic.

Tonight on American Idol someone sang the song Here comes the Sun and while she was singing it Lenny said, "When the sun comes, I will play in my pool."
