Ghetto Earings and Home School

Eden and I do "home school" together. We were going to do Joy School. In fact, Eden was very excited about me dropping her off by herself for school. Since I feel that I can't handle that right now we compromised. So we've been spending nap time learning new things. Her favorite part is experimenting with colors and anything else she can get her hands on. We put milk in a bowl, then added three drops of food coloring (three colors) and then added one drop of dish soap. The dish soap doesn't mix w/ the milk so it just took the food coloring and swirled it all over. Cool!

Harper can't get enough of Eden. They play together well. She even puts lip gloss and "earings" on him. She has plenty more star stickers where that came from. He's also healing just fine from his surgery and doesn't miss an opportunity to knock himself out. He pretends to write letters along w/ Eden, sings various songs to anyone who will listen, and asks to poop in the toilet right after pooping in his diaper. Alas.



Frank is standing more often and sleeping better through the night. He is starting to show another tooth on top that hasn't popped through yet. And I'm having to dress him in 12 mo. clothes now b/c the others are mostly too short for him. Some of the pants are also too small around the waist. He weighs about 23 lbs. I think. He'll be 9 months old in another week or so.

Brad played w/ the kids a TON yesterday. He smeared Harper's face w/ frosting, taught the kids to play duck duck goose (while adding things like zebra and hippo to the mix). We had a wonderful Sunday! This morning I saw Harper touching his head and saying, "Duck. Duck. Zebra." Good Times!
