Little Drummer Boy

Theodore loves his band/orchestra. The other day he organized all his instruments on the ground and searched to find animals to play them. Our Lego T-Rex got the cymbals. When all was ready, Theodore stood before them and waved his arms furiously to some Christmas music.
Yesterday I caught Theodore sitting beside all his percussion instruments, a music book propped up against his "music stand". He sat reverently before it all and began to sing "the wheels on the bus go round and round", eyebrows raised.
Finally, at the Wednesday night Advent night at church, our future conductor grabbed a real music stand, a hymnal and frantically started conducting and singing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells". Our organist keenly observed that that song probably wasn't in the hymnal.

Lucy is Growing

Lucy is growing! More teeth, more hair (mostly just in the back) and more skills. She has started to point to things, which is really cute. She dances, signs "all done" after meals, and is pushing anything she can for a walker. She loves to walk!

Theodore is 3!!

Here is a picture of Theodore, mama, and the cake that mama made. You maybe cannot see that there is our solar system on the cake. We celebrated on Thanksgiving day, which was, of course, the very day of Theodore's birthday. What a coincident!
