Poor Forgotten Lula

"I fix it"

Dylan was very productive in the snow. He was working away. If his little brother is this handy my house is going to look great!

He's still got it

That infectious laugh...can't help but love it!

WEe had as Dylan says "BIG SNOW"

He figured out that sledding wasn't working, so he got out the wagon for better riding.
Sliding in the snow is much faster than sledding

Hard to Stay in Bed

It's hard to stay in your bed when you are used to a bed with 4 walls. Luckily he stays asleep even though his feet are on the floor.

Big Boy

We have been talking a lot about being a big boy lately and about being a big brother. We've been trying to encourage some big boy habits like using the potty and getting rid of the paci. Somehow Dylan decided on his own that his crib was "for baby" and he needed a "big brother bed". This was the one thing we weren't encouraging. The crib is such a wonderful piece of furniture that keeps small children safe and contained, why give it up so easily? But he has a mind of his own and he was ready to move on.

Friday night we picked out the bed and thought (naively) that we could put it together Saturday and test it out. We were wrong, we needed to put it together immediately.

He did 'help' put it together, using all his tools. When poor Lula came in to see what was going on he quickly told her "No Lula, working in here. Mommy, Daddy, Dylan working in here."

When it was finally assembled he gathered all his trucks, his tools, his books, and 'he-whore' (Eeyore) and settled in. He stayed in till he fell asleep which we never expected. He woke up once a little disoriented around 12:30, but went right back to sleep (with help from Daddy laying on the floor for a few minutes). He woke up about 9am and stayed in his room playing with his trucks.

Guess he was really ready for his big boy bed. Wonder if he will ever be ready to give up the paci...

On the mend

This is how we knew he was sick. He fell asleep sitting up and when we went to take a picture he woke up and I noticed that his shirt was soaked with drool. Poor guy had a high fever, but not flu - just took a few days to fight off. Friday he was finally 100% back to normal. He insisted on taking a picture with Lula -Lula wasn't as easy to convince.

Somehow I got her to sit next to him, but it wasn't easy.

Mr. Clown also thinks running around the house with his helmet on is super fun...wonder what he will think when he is supposed to wear it on his bike...
