Out of the Mouths of Babes

I think this is a sign that Billy and I are doing something right as parents.

The First Snow!

It's only a little, but some snow actually stuck yesterday!
Whew! Now BB can tell us what he wants for Christmas.
He said he couldn't tell us before because there wasn't any snow.

We had a few spoonfuls of the snow for breakfast ...

... and we liked it!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Come again a nudder* day.
(*BB language.)

He's at it Again

It's been awhile since BB's left us surprises in unexpected places, but he's back in full force:

a necklace in the refrigerator ...

... and a drill in the refrigerator.

The other day, he left a saw in the refrigerator. Silly Billy.

He's Been Nice ...

... so I think BB should get this for Christmas.

Impromptu Photo Shoot ... Foiled by Ornery Toddler

'Cheeeeeeese!'

'The Wheels on the Bus' gets a smile.

It's nearly impossible to get BB to look at me when I'm taking a picture.

BB is NOT Going to be a X-Gamer

Since BB was a baby, Billy and Bob liked to say he was going to be an X-Gamer when he grew up. I think they mostly said that to get a rise out of me, but it may have been a bit foreshadowing.

The other day, BB asked to put the ottoman in the middle of the living room floor. He then lined up pillows, a folding metal tray and a plastic lap desk - which he then thought he was going to jump over.

I told him I didn't think it was a good idea, so he moved the trays - but still jumped. ... I can only do so much.
