Mr. Plan It


Chippy's new thing is to make plans. Tonight he thought he would use the pot, finish his dinner, have some dessert, go upstairs to Matzo's room, pick out a train, come downstairs, I put the train in a box, he finds it in the box, and then he plays with it. Then he says very seriously, 'it's a plan'!

On a separate note, he is also Mr. Considerate. He helped me set the table for breakfast the other day and insisted on three matching bowls - so he went into the dishwasher and got out two more (mummy put them back as they were still dirty!) then he got three spoons and made sure one was a big spoon as daddy uses a big spoon and 'we two' use small spoons! He has an incredible memory for details like that. Very perceptive little boy.


Standing on my head


So, in making conversation with the boy yesterday, I asked him what he learned at school. The surprising response without missing a beat ... standing on my head!

Happy Valentines!

Chippy was quite excited about valentines day this year! He was asking each day if it was 'valentines' when he woke up in the morning.  When it finally was the 14th, he reminded me that Bubba had left cookies for him that he could open on valentines.  So, cookies (and french toast) for breakfast it was - how could I say no when Bubba said he could have them - it was valentines day!

Chippy traced his name on most of the valentines we made for the kidlets at school.  He's getting quite good at it  -  with his fingers holding the crayon properly and all!  When he got home from school he had a valentines day hunt and presents from Grammy/Pa!  Overall I'd say he was quite pleased with his day.

Cupcakes

Here's Chippy making Bubba some birthday cupcakes.  When we said he could try some with his finger he kept sticking his whole hand in the batter.

Here's also a boy who has been in underpants for the last week ... not necessarily clean ones ...

Grammy/Pa Time!

Daddy and Chippy took a vacation to Grammy and Pa's and were gone for 5 days!  Wow, was the house ever ... quiet...
