Viral Video

Apparently I'm late to the game on this one (11 million+ views already) but this is super cute. Totally worth watching even if you've already seen it.

Homework

We have the boys in a daycare that we love. LOVE. Will used to go to a different one, but we were fortunate to be able to make the move to where they are now when he turned 3. (totally a fantastic story for another day) However, they are very organized. And I...am not. I used to be! Really! And then the Cancer and the Baby and the Sleep deprivation and the baby and now I can't keep track of anything to save my life. I have been finding myself re-writing the same lists over and over because I can't remember where I put the last one, and I was sure there was something I was supposed to do...

Anyway, with School. They send home letters from the teacher every once in a while - with, you know, things they want us to know, things the kids should be bringing in to the classroom. Most of the time those get read by us...and sometimes not. But this week, we got one and there was a homework assignment. Homework? Seriously? Already? Not to have a bad attitude about it already, but seriously. Will (aka Dan and I) were to type up an autobiography dictated by Will. They will be sharing these with the class tomorrow - but I thought I would share it here with you. So, Will "wrote" this entire autobiography:

My Story
by Will

My Name is Will. I live in a white house with my mommy and daddy and I love them. I also live with Henry, my little brother. I am 4 1/2 and he is 1. I like to play with Henry, have light-saber fights with my daddy, drawings pictures, watching movies and having snuggles with Mommy.

The End.

I don't think it is possible for me to love this kid any more than I do right now.

Photoblog: Random Winter 2009

My hope is some day to get these all into appropriate albums with the rest of the corresponding pictures from all of these events. But let's be honest...it doesn't seem very likely these days. Life has been good - but very busy. While Henry isn't walking yet, he is on the move. And that kid? He moves a lot more than his older brother did at this age. Also? still not so big on the sleeping. He just doesn't really like napping - I have tried debating with him the finer points of why napping is a good thing, but he usually wins with the screaming. But it is getting better at night - and that has to be a good thing all around.

In the last couple of months, we have had two birthdays, a few large gatherings, a beach trip, a weekend sleepover at a friend's house (that was me and the kids - while Dan was getting his drink on in a pub tour between here and San Francisco), and a visit from Nana. It has been an unusually busy late Winter/Spring and it has been really wonderful. Below are some of my favorites from the last 3 months and the rest of the random favorites are here - Winter 2009

Examples of things Will says now that I am going to miss as he gets older:

I think I do not like that tone of voice Mama. I may have to take away your book privileges.

Hey Will – I totally love you!
Hey Mama – I told you (what he thinks we are saying when we say totally) I love you too.

30 days?!? That’s like 100.
Well not really bud, 30 is a number and 100 is a different number
No Mama. I said 30 is 100. ONE HUN-DRED.

Mama!! I did not know you were this powerful a Jedi!

So, um, we are reading a chapter book at school about a twister. And Annie and Jack are in it and they try to escape to the serrerrr.

The serrerrr?

Um, yes. The serrerrrrr.

Do you mean the cellar?

Yes, that is what I said.
