In life we wear many hats. Elijah has just begun liking hats. After 19 months of struggling to keep hats on him, now he wears them. I remember I used to buy the cutest outfits with hats, but he would never wear the hat. Now, he will wear anykind of hat. Baseball hats, tasel caps, and even the bonnet at daycare (don't tell his daddy). Both the boys have enjoyed the snow this year. Caleb has enjoyed teaching his little brother how to sled ride. It is so fun to watch my children in the snow. Often I too like to go out to "Play" in the snow. There is something relaxing about playing outdoors. I have so many fond memories of being outside growing up in Pennsylvania. I sure do miss snowmobile riding. My brothers and sisters always kept life interesting for me. usually my face was planted in the snow. Oh well, I often say if I can survive my brothers then I can pretty much handle anything life brings me.
A funny story about Elijah. The other day at daycare the teacher had brought in some snow for the children to play in. After they were done the teacher noticed that Elijah was walking funny. When she picked him up she noticed that Elijah had stuffed his socks with snow. At the end of the day when I picked Elijah up the techer asked me if I might know why Elijah would do this. My only answer was this because he's Elijah and a boy. You see boys do odd things like this. Infact many times all I can do is laugh! Elijah is beginning to notice fish. Infact this is his newest word. He says it like "SHHHHH". Because Elijah is delayed in speech we have him in speech therapy. This has been a good thing for him. He is starting to use sign language also. Just 4 or 5 simple signs, but I am always amamzed at how fast he learns.
Caleb has been busy with his nose in his quizzing they are studying the book of Exodus. Please continue to pray that he will make it to world quiz. I know he is sure striving. He is definately blessed with a good memory. Well, We hope and pray that all of you will stay warm as we trudge through winter. God Bless, Mandy
Aren't boys just wonderful!! I was so worried about having a boy, but I enjoy every moment with Clint. I love seeing the world through his eyes, and experiencing those quintessential "BOY" experiences. Snow in the socks....that is too much!! Love the blog and all the sweet pictures!
