Sorry the video is sideways, Cory took it and I am not sure how to turn it around. But enjoy anyway!

Toofers
Hey guys, look what popped up in my mouth over the weekend...
Can you see 'em...boy they hurt and I am a little fussy, but not too bad. Does this mean I am a big boy now?

Uppercase Living
I am not doing a sales pitch, but wanted some of my family and friends to see what I purchased from an Uppercase Living Party! I love it in the playroom. It is on the wall above the train table to the right of the fireplace.

Rub a Dub Dub...
Three Boys in a Tub!
Brandy let us borrow this bath tub ring for Cole and now we can put them all in at once...conserving water, but not our sanity! Cole is just lounging while the other two were doing who knows what!
Caden got in trouble for something, so he was pouting just a bit!

Stephen Fite Concert
So yesterday I took the boys to the Stephen Fite Concert that was at the Woodward Arts Theater. It was fun and they really enjoyed it! You know my crew really loves music and loves to sing and dance! Last year the theme was trains, this year it was all about surfing, diving, underwater stuff! Great fun! The boys didn't sit much, just stood and danced a ton. Cole hung out in his sling and finally fell asleep towards the end. They all behaved great so that made it even better! Caden was a great helper and held Carter's hand almost the entire time! Another fun outing!
Carter was in awe for a while then he started dancing!
They loved it!
Caden thought he needed to take a picture of Cole and Momma so you would know what we were doing at the concert!
Here is Caden clapping to the beat.

Caden is Reading!
Caden is sort of reading! I know some of you might think I am nuts to encourage him, being so young, but it was suggested by his preschool teacher! I found this great website, www.starfall.com, and he gets to work on his own at his own pace. There is a page with the alphabet on it that he can click on and work on phonics. He knows that stuff really well because of his school last year, so we moved pretty quickly through that. The reading pages have some games and then some books that he can click and read.
For the first one, we worked on "an" and "at" sounds and made words by changing the beginning letter. He did really well with those and like the games. The next activity is a book called "Zac the Rat" that goes along with those. He can click on the word and the computer will sound it out for him if he needs help. He does really well, but sometimes he only wants to use the computer and not sound it out himself. I can already see the perfectionist in him coming out. I will ask him to sound it out on his own and he insists he can't do it right yet, so he needs the computer. It is like flashing back to my childhood. This boy is soooooo much like me it is crazy! Not that it is a bad thing, but anyway, I digress. Sometimes we can have a power struggle about it, but mostly I just try to encourage him to try by himself. He really seems to enjoy it and I know it is all about him having fun right now!
I also find myself wanting him to get it right the first time, so this has been a big lesson on patience and perfectionism(is that a word?) for me! My child will do it in his time, his way, etc. So I am learning too on this journey! Anyway, just wanted to share what we are working on here. The video is for the grandparents to see and admire.

Playing in the Snow/Ice
Here are a couple of pics and clips from our outdoor adventure yesterday. Of course the boys didn't seem to care that it was only 15 degrees outside! They were really warm under all their snow clothes. I got them all bundled up and they headed outdoors.
The first video is the sledding. Caden loves to run from the porch and sled down our small slope into the fence, he thinks it is great. Well this time, he wanted Carter to have a turn. It is so funny!
You can't really see the end, but Carter hit that fence pretty hard and didn't want to sled anymore!
Then they decide they need to get on the trampoline. Caden thinks it is a great ice skating rink. He was "skating" all over it! Carter couldn't quite get his feet under him but he did the best he could!
Overall they had a great time and were only out there about 30 minutes. When it was time to come in they obliged for the most part. Caden only fussed a little and Carter was ready for some hot chocolate by the fire!
