This morning the kids made some Mother’s Day Cards for Naomi.
Adelaine’s card features her and mommy in the ’80s. They both have “poofy” shoulders.
Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful wife and mother of our three munchkins who love their mother lots and lots!
Under Naomi’s tutelage, Ellie’s reading abilities have really grown in the last couple months. She now reads just about anything she finds.. and cereal boxes are suddenly a treasure trove of information! She even surprised me one morning by reading an upside down newspaper headline, which then forced me to explain a crime that it was about. Surprising for both of us perhaps.
We keep telling her that learning to read opens the door for her to learn just about anything, and she is trying! She also enjoys reading (perhaps it is showing off) to her sister…
and her brother while he.. uh. nevermind.
The Queen of Mop upon Her Pillow Throne
Sir Ethor attempts a bloodless (hopefully) coup.
The Royal Guard try a valiant tickle attack to remove him.
When that fails, the Queen of Mop creates a new Royal Throne with pillows from the Royal Bed.
Ethan loves to sing!
He sings on and off throughout the day, and he often lays in bed at night singing away. Sometimes we even recognize the song. During the Christmas season he has been singing “Angels We Have Heard on High” over and over and over and over and over and over… you get the point.
We are so thankful for a cheerful little boy that bubbles over into song.
Ethan shows off his pro wrestling skills.
At least he didn’t hit me with a folding metal chair.
