Morning Thoughts

(first in the morning)

Myron: Mama, iming ah-mar-oh?              (translation: swimming tomorrow?)

Mama: Um... okay, we can do swimming tomorrow if you like.

Myron: Okay (think for a moment) Mama cee-nee haus too?

Mama: Yes, mama will go to Cindy's house too.

Mryon: Yes (think for a moment) good mooring mama.

Mama: Good morning Myron (kiss)

Dishwasher Car

Look what I invented, while mama was in the shower.  I'm so clever (and strong!).

I left these in place, hoping she wouldn't notice the difference. :)

Night Owl

Of course I am happy... it's 11:30pm and I am still awake.  Woooohooo!

Do I look like I am ready for bed?

Dark Out

You know the great thing about rain and early sun sets... they mean I get to us my

Flashlight! 

Eating Preference

Myron: "My eat baby?"

Mama: "What?"

Myron: "My eat baby"

Mama: "What do you want to eat?"

Myron: Pull mama to frig and point

Mama: LOL, "Oh, Myron eat baby carrots"

Manners

First you wipe this 'dis' side....

then 'dis' side...

and blow!

Holiday Preparations

Before Dada left, we got ready for the holiday season with a tree! 

First we found just the right tree.

Then posed for a family photo.

Loaded it in the van (and hauled it across the treacherous parking lot terrain).

Then we got use tools!

And our very special tree stand.

Then I hauled it in the house and got to use my most favorite tool - scissors!

From AZ to SD

Mama and I spent the weekend in Phoenix with Grandpa Schwichtenberg but silly mama forgot to charge the camera battery, so we have no pictures to show for our adventure.  I saw tons of cool cars, got to drive Grandpa's blue car, play basketball, play with Shayla, Chevy, Colton and Deb.  While we were in AZ, Dada was in SD working on a wind turbine.

That's a long way up Dada.

And they have snow too!  Lucky Dada.

Nana's Here!

This year, Nana came to visit for Thanksgiving.

"Uv ew nana"

Art

This year I am making my holiday presents....

First you cut it... (my favorite part)

Then you paint white....

And then colors!  Blue was may favorite.

Cutting...

Myron has a new favorite tool... scissors.  He likes to 'cut' all kinds of things, paper, the table, his truck, flowers and water... such a funny little guy.

New Big Truck

What happens when you bring a toddler Christmas shopping?  They get their present early.  Myron picked out this big truck at the store and loves it!  He pushes it, dumps it, crashes it, and rides on/in it.

He likes to take it everywhere, especially  to dinner (see below) and bed. 

Myron: 'Tuk hungry too' 

Rough Night

Thursday night was a rough night, up coughing much of the night but as it turns out because of that, I discovered I can multitask - sleeping and eating! (yes, there is un-chewed food in my mouth)

Bribable

I am officially old enough to be bribed. Mama wanted me to sit next to Gracie (a hard task in and off it's self), in feety PJ (of which I am not a big fan) and smile.  For this she had to pull out the heavy artillery - a cookie.  Yes I am bribable!

2am Cuteness

Myron woke at 1am last night with a croupy cough but was a very good sport about it and was very communicative through his coughing fits. First we went outside and then sat in the rocking chair for a while.

Mama: Are you ready to lay down now?

Myron: No... mo mama roching

Mama: Okay, more rocking.

(10 min later)

Mama: Are you ready to lay down now?

Myron: Okay... bye, bye roching char

Truck in Davis

On Saturday, I brought by truck to the market and played in the sand, bark chips, and grass with it for what seemed like hours.

I love my truck.  I take it everyone now, to the park, to bed, in the van, to lunch, and I even try and take it in the bath!

Gracie and Auntie came to the market too and I even shared my mama with Gracie (a big step for me).

We climbed...

and walked!

Got a little dirty... and

went on a carousel ride!  What a day!

Bath Babes

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get two babies in a bathtub to smile at once?

Yoga Babe

I love yoga with Mama... especially downward dog!

Art Beast II

We went to Art Beast and I loved it once again.  I was so sad to leave.

We washed babies, pushed trucks....

poured water...

and played in the theater room... I played the guitar and Gracie played peek and loved it!

  I am really starting to like having her around... 'hi keke"

Myron Fix it

Dada is gone for work right now but I made sure he had a proper chiropractic adjustment before he left. "Myrow ix it" (translation: Myron fix it).

New Boots

Myron has "new boots" and loves them.

They are good for outdoor work...

and indoor work.

Go 'CiCi' Go!

Having a cousin is fun and hard.  I gave her a push, now it's my turn, but she doesn't understand the game.  Go 'cici' go!

Gracie is here!

Tickle... tickle.. tickle... she's so funny.

(Good think Gracie is 'easy going', Myron's tickles can be rough!)

Left Ear

Mama: Good washing your ear, now wash your ear on the other side (points to her left ear).

Myron proceeds to turn around and wash the same ear while facing the other direction (hilarious! he moved his head to wash the left side, maybe he knows his left and right better than mommy!)
