How You Know You Have a Boy

Since the boys have started preschool, they have come home singing different songs every now and then. Usually, I'm not sure exactly what the song is. Around Christmas, they did a pretty good rendition of Jingle Bells. Well, it seems the latest they have learned is Ring Around the Rosy. However, their version is a little more on the boys side. It goes a little something like this, "Ring around the goesey, down down the poopy." The more I protest about this version of the song, the more they feel the need to sing it. All in all, it's quite obnoxious! I guess there will be no pockets full of posies in this house!

Happy Valentine's Day

In honor of the holiday, I thought I'd repost a picture of the boys from their first Valentine's Day. I loved those little outfits! If you can't tell, their jackets say Heart Breaker. Their jeans were just adorable on them. It amazes me how even then their personalities were so set. Luke was always so serious, and Brody looked at everything as if it were the first time he had seen it all.

Sweet little Lukey trying hard not to smile.

My chunka monk Brody as sweet as ever.

A Boy and His Rocket

The boys received flight suits for Christmas, and Luke has fallen in love with his. He loves putting it on and pretending to be his daddy. He particularly likes to put it on in the morning. He puts it on, grabs his backpack, and tells me that he's going to work and to give him a kiss and a hug. When I ask him where he works, he tells me "the helicopter place with Daddy." The other day when he said he was going to work, Brody responded with "Bye Daddy!" Later that day, they decided to take pretty much all of their toys and put them on the futon. When I asked them what they were doing they informed me that the futon was a helicopter moving lots of stuff. He's been bugging me for weeks for a helmet because "pilots wear helmets mommy." I found their winter hats, and this has satisfied him for the time being. Today's dress up session involved him building a rocket with his blocks. As you can see, rocket building is serous business!
