Who he is

PMonkeys own personality and way of doing things has been coming out since he attached himself to a love of dinosaurs out of the blue at age 2. But now that he is nearly 7 we are starting to feel who he is and what kind of person he will grow into. I am proud and excited to see that man, even if I want to put it off for as long as possible. 

Our first trip to the Lego store was a huge success!!! He has been vaguely enjoying them for a year but once he saw the possibilities in that store he was hooked 

He is logical and needs to "why" his way through everything until the very last bit of understanding comes through. 

He memorizes anything said or taught to him. He learns best when someone tells him directly, then the information never leaves him.

He is very friendly, talking to everyone and anyone about anything.

He is sweet and loves to cuddle, needing physical reassurance.

He is sensitive and does not handle the idea of being in trouble or of having some one upset with him well.

He prefers complicated stroy lines and  Pokemon, and loves non fiction books. 

He is curious and an excited learner. 

I just love this little boy so much!

Uniquely Johnny made Lego men.

First Snow Day

 

Our first snow day of the year.  Not much more 3 inches of snow and all of it fluffy, but the kids don't care, after living in Texas this is the first snow we have see in years. Cupcake and Monkey bounced out of bed the moment they saw white on the ground. 

 

Rodent and Silly  Sweetie came over as soon as the roads cleared enough, all they wanted to do was play with their cousins and friends who live on our street.

 

Silly Sweetie has sensitive skin and had to come in ad strip next the fire place and warm up before she jumped back out to her friends.

The kids bathroom is decorated to look like the beach, complete with boogie boards, so we just pulled it off the wall and it was sled! Same with our decorative pool alligator :)

Monkey thinks he can get Mommy with a snow ball, we will see how well that goes for him :)

 

Baby Bee was nice a cozy while her cousins and sisters ran in the snow. Isn't she adorable?

 

There are three friends who live just down the street from us, two of them are in Silly Sweeties class.  They knock on our door every week end asking any amount of kids we have in the house to come out and play for as long as possible! Today we got to knock on their door for the first time! Some very happy friends!

 

Rodent is so beautiful! So grown up.  She has an IPhone now, not connected to a service, but when she was wifi she can text other people who have Iphones.  She spends endless time sending me emodicons and asking me questions.  But when she gets with her 6 and 4 year old cousins she happily plays house and school and everything else.  Such a sweet soul she has.

 

They decided to build an "Olaf." Not a snowman, an Olaf.  This generation may replace the wood snowman altogether. :)
 

Belly woopers!

 

Rodent wanted chicken noodle soup, perfect end to a fun morning in the snow.  Now they get to spend he rest of the day just playing. 

Hug and Kiss and Goodnight

Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.

 Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are. 

I don't know when it started, but for as long I can remember we have had to sing  "twinkle" every night before these two will go to sleep. 

Daddy sings it silly and makes up new words or Mommy sings it while we cuddle. Then we "hug and kiss" and say good night.
