small updates…

This is Henry’s new favorite thing to do.  He is crazy good with clicking the mouse too.  Which ends up being really annoying when you’re trying to type things.  We’ve walked around the corner to see him sitting like this and he’s always very pleased with himself.  I wish the picture was in focus.. however I’m sure I’ll get the opportunity to take this again.  

So that’s kind of new.. we’re back to having to push all the chairs all the way in.  He’s not the most careful kid either.  He has developed his mother’s knack for ridiculously stupid injuries.  He’s completely walking now and is a serious dancing machine.  He will dance to anything musical that catches his fancy – commercial jingle, cell phone ring, whatever.. if it’s got a beat he’s got the boogie. 

Grant has been doing some fun stuff lately as well.  The other day we drove over a speed bump and he said “MOM!  I think the car just did a little hop!”  The parking lot where we were had a billion of them so he kept telling me “it hopped again!!” every time as if i couldn’t feel it myself.  His new word is “actually” as in “Actually, I don’t think I WILL pick up my toys”.  Over the weekend Peter and Grant built a chest of drawers for Henry’s room.  Grant was really proud of it and afterwards he was testing it out and said “Actually, Daddy, these are REAAALLY good drawers!!!” 

Grant seems to have take a real interest in art projects at school too and we’ve been taking home massive amounts of construction paper creations lately.  His teachers have said he’s doing like 6 projects.  I’d be lying if I said this didn’t please me. :) 

I called both boys The Snotsky Brothers this weekend as they were CONSTANTLY in need of having their nose wiped.  Of course the weekend is over and now I’m starting to feel like it’s finally caught up to me.  :P  Having said that I’m off to bed. :)
