Princess's Favorite Toy - A Duck Magnet!

Local News: Bottom Dwellers

Princess likes to tip over her bucket of toys and dig around in them to find the goodies in the bottom. Including the binkies I threw in there a while ago. There are a number of different types of binky and she doesn't seem to have a preference one over the other, she just likes to chew on them all. It's really funny because she's never been a binky baby and yet now we often find her moseying around the house with one in her mouth. But I'm not worried because they're just one of the many things she carries like a dog carrying a bone, see this one's even upside down!

Things to Do: Show and Tell

At Mini's school they select kids get to do Show and Tell each class. On Tuesday Mini was selected to bring something on Thursday to share. They send the selected student(s) home with an orange bag to bring their item to share back in!

There were some guidelines as it had to be something related to what they were working on in class. This month was A-D, 0-3, school, fall, or the colors red or orange. It was very interesting to see Mini go through his own mental process of choosing what to bring.

Something Orange
Something Red
Something Orange
Red Fire Hydrant
Fire Hose (he was very upset when I told him they weren't red)
Mater the Tow Truck (another one that didn't meet the criteria)
Lightning McQueen
...
Baby Red the Fire Truck

And that was what he settled on, Baby Red. The only problem was that we didn't know where he had disappeared off too. So we had a mission!!! We searched every toy box and bucket in the house, under furniture, and in the couch. Finally Mini said... "Mommy I think he might be in the car" and low and behold he was in the bottom of the bag of Mini's toys in the car.

Copycats that is. Princess is the #1 copycat in our town these days. She especially loves doing anything her big brother is doing. But sometimes he copies her right back. They have been having so much fun going back and forth and then both dissolve into hysterical laughter.

He's hard to capture a picture of, but she is like his little mirror!!

Local News: Walk-a-bout

We love to go on walks in our little neighborhood. It takes a lot longer now that Mini likes to walk instead of riding in the wagon or stroller but I like to think that gives us more time to stop and smell the roses. Yesterday on our walk we, checked out bees, checked the mail, pruned some flowers (thanks Princess), checked out the rocks, Mini pulled his little wagon, stopped to draw on the sidewalk, tried to fly one of the balloons that Mini drew, Mini pulled Princess up the hill, Princess pulled Mini's wagon, stopped again to see if the bees were still there. All in all a very fun and eventful little adventure!
