Is He Color Blind?

Eli is determined not to learn his colors. When I hold up two objects that are identical, except for color, he always guesses that the color is yellow- unless one of the objects really is yellow, then he usually throws out orange as his guess. It's almost like he won't learn them on purpose, because we are always mentioning and pointing out things of like colors. He likes to keep us on our toes.

I Love to Hear What They'll Say Next

German has the greatest ideas! He frequently suggests smart ways of doing things (like teaching Joshua how to get the refried beans out of the can "the way my mom does it") or asks us fabulous questions. Tonight he asked, "Dad, when I turn to be 7 will you get me a man's toolbox?"

Such a Happy Boy...

Scotland loves to smile and laugh. He gives some of the greatest hugs. We all love having this boy in our family. This picture is of him feeding himself his oatmeal cereal, since he rarely lets me feed him anymore.
