Three Little Monkeys: Three Things

Three Things about:

Drew:
1. Just started a pre-kindergarten class at preschool. So far he loves his teachers and the fact that his buddy Noah is in his class.

Pumped and ready to go! August 19, 2013

Making name tags and meeting classmates. I don't think Drew will ever have an issue being dropped off in a new classroom. He love, love, loves all things social.

2. Now does this smirk when you ask him to smile for a photo. We call it "The Elvis Lip" because at times, it almost does look like he's trying to impersonate Elvis while doing it. Makes for some lovely pictures. ;)

3. Loves a good dance party. We crack up at his dancing these days because he does it with this face...a face that lets you know he just thinks he is the coolest. I clearly remember being little and doing things and thinking, "I must look so cool right now" (and then looking back later and being semi-horrified). Drew's dance parties are his "so cool". However, I happen to delight in these "so cool" dance parties, so just keep on rockin' there hot stuff. ;)

Collin:
1. Big on asking "Why?". This causes endless circles of conversations in our house (It's tricky to come up with answers that don't lead to a "Why?" response!).

2. Loooves animals. My parents have a kitten named Momo at their house and Coll could find her anywhere...earning him the title of "kitty catcher" for the week.

3. Loves tomatoes...and I do mean loves. We recently got back from a trip to Oregon (more on that later), where my parents have grown a huge garden filled with tomato plants. Collin would go out to help Lala pick each evening and would just sit out there and eat tomatoes the entire time!

The thing around Collin's neck is supposed to be a bug catching jar, but as you can see, Collin used his to catch tomatoes instead of bugs.

Tanner:
1. Loves mud...might as well tack on that he loves eating the mud as well here.

2. Is almost walking. He confidently walks all along our furniture or pushing something, but isn't quite yet confident enough to let go and walk on his own (although I think he could at this point).

3. Flaps his legs and kicks while you're holding him if something makes him happy. These "happy feet", as we've come to call them, are in response to things like Daddy popping around a corner when he's been at work all day, or seeing a toy on the ground that he loves, or one of his brothers being silly and making faces at him....you get the idea. I love his happy feet!
