"Chicken Nug-nuts"

We sure love our sweet kids. It is so fun to see them grow and they make us laugh so much everyday. We had some roasted Parmesan chicken thighs for dinner which we cut up for Ethan and told him were chicken nuggets, remembering he loved the last time we had homemade chicken nuggets. He was excited and said, "Oh! I love chicken nug-nuts! This is just one of the few things he says wrong that we don't have the heart to correct because it is so darn cute! Others are "Carl's June-yair" (Carl's Jr. with a French sounding accent) and "marsh-marshow" (marshmallow).

Ethan put these glasses on the other day and we just had to snap a photo.
She's cute. What more is there to say.
We have been amazed at how much better Ethan has gotten at coloring over the last few months. He still needs a lot of work at staying in the lines, but he is starting to use more colors on one picture and usually he remembers what colors things are supposed to be.


While coloring the picture of Woody and Bo Peep, Ethan insisted that Brooklyn color Bo Peep. She's not too bad of an artist herself.

The other day Ethan out of the blue proclaimed, "I want to color Super Why." He then ran into the office, got on the computer, navigated to the PBS Kids website, found the picture he wanted, printed it, and colored it all by himself. We find it amusing that he can do all this and isn't even three yet, while we probably couldn't do the same task until we were probably ten or so. What are we in for with this kid?!

Ethan and Brooklyn love dancing to one of the songs from Kyle's childhood. We started singing it to Ethan ever since he was able to walk and he loved it. We couldn't remember exactly how it went, but made it our own. We recently heard the original song, but like our version better. Here is a portion of it. This was the first time Brooklyn joined us in dancing to this song. We continue to be amazed at how much better Brooklyn has been getting at walking each week.


(My new apron makes a cameo in the video above. I made it myself! I sure hope my mom is proud.)

Love your apron, Jen! I'm with you... there are some words that aren't worth correcting because they say it so cute!

Ditto to Kenzee's entire comment...that's exactly what I was going to say! Great minds think alike, I guess! ;)

those look like 3-d glasses he's wearing! good job on the coloring, Ethan! Jackson doesn't like to color, but sure paints a lot.
