Joel's happy day

Clifton: "Hey daddy, wanna play Minecraft?"
Joel smiling: "Yea, I'll play Minecraft!"

Talent runs in the family

Good Table Manners...

After their birthday party, we had some visiting family members over for dinner. we ordered Chinese food. We were all eating and chatting when Clifton hopped up from the table, grabbed a fork from the kitchen and ran over to uncle Johnny who was eating with chop sticks. "Here you go, Un-co Don-ee," Clifton gave him the fork then returned to his seat. We all thanked Clifton and beamed at him as he sat scilently watching every one enjoy the food.

Bounce House Birthday Party

Sable and Cliff had a joint birthday party at a bounce house. It was pretty awesome!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

3 years ago today, My son pulled the best April fools prank of all time by showing up early. Happy Birthday you smirking, turbo charged, messy headed, ball of sweetness!

Daycare at the Gym

Monday (the blur on the "bridge")

Tuesday, BOUNCE!

Wednesday (push play and look for Cliffs curls)

Eating doughnuts sounds like "Nom nom nom"

I bought Cliff a chocolate doughnut as a treat. He wanted a cookie. After several minutes of holding it in his hands complaining, I said "Mommy eat, nom nom nom."He went silent. I looked into the back seat of the car to see he was finally eating the doughnut and I heard him quietly say "I eat, nom nom nom."

A B C D ....

Shaggy boy

Hair cut in progress...

WEST SIDE!

Clifton and I were waiting for the school bus and there was a girls soccer game starting across the street. They huddled and yelled "1, 2, 3, WEST SIDE!" and Clifton yelled back "NO!" I heard some girls giggle.

Keri and Cliff's first gym day!

Cliff was perfect for his little play class. I loved peeking in and seeing him play with the little group of kids. The ladies in the play center are lovely and said Cliff was fun and easy to handle. I got to break in my shoes on a treadmill, met some of the employees and find all my favorite machines. I'm signed up for a class next week. I'm so excited!

Clifton's first real haircut

He was so well behaved!

"Yeah"

Joel put the kids to bed tonight. When he brought Cliff his bottle, Cliff was pretending to be asleep. Joel asked "Hey, Cliff are you asleep?" Cliff kept his eyes closed and said "yeah."

Big Bed

Clifton started sleeping in his big bed this week!

We are all done with the crib. ... :(

Blah, blah, blah?

Clifton had an assessment done and will be starting speech therapy next week. He talks and sings constantly so this will just add more words to his vocabulary that seems to be solely associated with food and his sister (the two things he loves most). I think he'll love the attention and progress quickly. He has already started reading his name and helping Sable learn her letters.

Wing man

Joel and Clifton went to pick up groceries this week. Joel came back home laughing. "Clifton said HI to every woman in the store. Every one of them." I guess the boys got a lot of attention.

Clifton / Keri

Keri, 18 months old in 1978, looking a LOT like Clifton!
