November "Funnies"

Wow! It has been far too long since my last post...
Nicholas has been quite the comedian the past few weeks. Here are some of his recent "funnies:'

• (During a conversation I was having with him about the First Thanksgiving...)

Bev: The pilgrims didn't have grocery stores. Where do you think they might have gotten their food?"
Nicholas: From the refrigerator!

• (Right before I was going to spank him for disobeying...)

Nicholas: Wait! I mean you no harm! (This was a line from a Buzz Lightyear book we have. Needless to say, I couldn't help but crack up.)

In case you didn't hear, he took his first trip to the ER on Wednesday after biting (almost) through his lower lip in the Chick-fil-a play area. There was quite a bit of blood involved, and we weren't sure if he'd need some stitches. Turns out, he's going to be fine and no stitches were needed. I think Nicholas enjoyed the trip to the hospital. The kind nurses gave Buzz Lightyear an i.d. bracelet and treated him for a broken leg. As my sister-in-law Erin said, we may have quite a few trips to the ER in our future with two boys!

Daniel is really starting to respond to books. While reading From Head to Toe, I said, "I am a penguin and I turn my head. Can you do it?" He replied, "Ike d'it!" (I can do it!) He is very interested in animals (especially giraffes) and seems to like his animal books the best.

Until next time, have a great Thanksgiving!
