St. Patrick

Yesterday over breakfast I explained to the boys that they needed to put something green on when they got dressed. We talked about the tradition of pinching someone who is not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. Well, you would have thought I told them I was giving them a million dollars; a holiday where pinching is involved! They were in!

As we went along with breakfast one of the boys said, "So, whose Patrick?""Is he going to be at church this morning?"
I said, "Who?"
Ermias said, "You know the guy whose birthday we are celebrating."
Right, St. Patrick's Day. I had to be honest, "I have no idea but I don't think it's his birthday."

After about thirty minutes I had to threaten them to stop pinching each other; Ermias had green on his PJs, but Isayas didn't. So, Ermias would pinch him, then Isayas would pinch his brother back.  Ermias would then pinch him back twice stating, "I have green on my pants." And the cycle continued through breakfast.

I need to Google Saint Patrick. 

2 Months today

Lillie has been working on her neck muscles and they are getting stronger!

These pictures were taken yesterday. Sadly she still has her bald look. She does have hair on top just not much.

Big blue eyes! We will see if they stay.

The video

Here's one of the videos I took of Isayas reading to Lillie. She is locked in!

Reading time

Isayas LOVES his little sister and the feeling is mutual. She recognizes his voice and looks for him when he is talking close by. We try to have him read for twenty minutes everyday and sometimes Lillie get the benefit of it.

F for Fox

Some more great art work from Ermias. I love his fox! And, I know it's hard to tell, but the foot picture has leg hair. It's so fun to go through Ermias' backpack everyday.

I think Waymond and Ermias should make an alphabet book!

Double chin

Lillie is working hard on her double chin, but at the moment she mainly has nice rolls on her neck. When she sits just right her extra chins come out.

Blue ninja

Ermias decided to wear all navy blue...and call himself a blue ninja!

7 weeks

This little girl was seven weeks old yesterday! Where does the time go?

Most of the days

This is what I see most of the days with Lillie; just finished eating, having a little snooze before mommy moves me!

Tummy time

As recommended, we practice a little tummy time every day. Lillie is getting better and better and holding her head up and using her arms.

However, it quickly turns to this!

Face of the week

The best face of the week! We might start calling her crazy eyes!

Happy birthday good doctor

Isayas' teacher sent me this photo. Celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday in class.

Reader

Lately Lillie has been enjoying B is for Bear. She really likes the B is for bear and H is for Hat. 

Art work

Ermias just brought home some amazing art work in his February journal.

Love how he spelled Valentine!

Ninja's playing soccer in the park.

 His class visiting the library.

What can I say, he's an amazing artist and he spells like his mom!

Yesterday

Here are a few pictures from yesterday. Since it's just me and Lillie at home all day I thought I'd try to take some of us. One handed pictures are so hard; these were the best...

And, just so you know she isn't happy all the time! This is her "I'm all done with this" face!
