just kid stuff

Here are the kids eating one of their favorite things - grapes! They are extra nice and polite when I pull them out!



Here are those animals sounds that I mentioned Greyson makes.... disclaimer: this is *right* before nap, hence the crankiness....



I did remember a Madelyn story today when the kids and I were at the library for storytime. Today when Miss Ann (AKA Librari-Ann :) was doing a handplay, I remembered when Madelyn was about 2 she would come home from daycare saying in the unclear 2yr-old way something like "slap uh monkey uh ta da twee". huh? What is this place teaching my daughter? I was stumped listening to her say it for about 3 weeks until I remembered to ask and they laughed and explained that she ws saying the last line of "5 little monkeys" - snapped that monkey right out of the tree. I laughed and laughed. :)


Greyson has totally gotten into doing handplays these days. He loves doing one called "open them, shut them". He gets all excited! Madelyn and Greyson both love doing "a ram sam sam" and "if you're happy and you know it". I'm so glad that they love music. Madelyn is our little singer and Greyson loves to play instruments (especially the piano and tamborine). It will be interesting to see how they decide to use music in their lives and to love God.

Those are SOO cute and funny! But when Greyson cries it makes me want to pick him up and squeeze him!

The music thing...it just keeps getting better. It's incredible. I'm glad you're having so much fun with them!

You are a great mom, Melissa!

Yeah, Greyson loves to be cuddled when he is sad. He was especially fussy because he is still in that transition of giving up his morning nap and didn't get one that morning. What a grump!

I love that they love music because Ben and I do too. Here's to hoping that one of our kids will learn how to play an instrument though. that way we can have our own sing alongs!
