She was enamored by the little red monster.
Scott played the role quite well...for awhile. He then started to take the "monster" role a little bit too seriously. His sweet hugs and gentle handshakes turned to tight squeezes and forceful take downs. Natalie must have been confused!
***************************************************************Jon's mom took us to see a large train exhibit at the state fairgrounds a couple of weeks ago. After some coaxing, the kids rode on Thomas the Train and both loved it. Natalie started to whine when the ride came to an end.

Say, "Cheese!"
Strike a pose!

Random pictures and stories:
Natalie asked for more apple, and I was praising her hoping to put some peer pressure on her finicky brother.
Me: Natalie, it's good that you like apples. Apples are good for you. They make you grow healthy and strong. Scott, do you like apples too?
Scott: Not at all.
Here Natalie is either saying "Boo!" or "No!" She says both of these words a lot and they are usually exaggerated and emphatic.
Sweet Nephew Brody (Both Brody and Natalie are enjoying the long lost exersaucer.)
Scott: I wonder what Natalie's up to. Since she's being so quiet, it's making me nervous. (Hmm...perhaps I've said something like this a few times before??!)
Scott's new "thinking" expression
Scott was very disturbed by the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty the other day. Scott: Could they fix Humpty?
Me: Well...no...the rhyme says that he was broken.
Scott: (Looking upset) But how will he go to heaven?
(Followed by about 10 more questions about broken Humpty and heaven.)
He is such a thinker. I love those questions. He reminds me a lot of Ty at that age.
ReplyDeleteNatalie is so, so funny. I love that pose she struck. You do such a great job capturing the every day stuff in pictures. Are the kids getting stir crazy with this weather?
