Henry Discovers Mud.

 
This is the sweetest video of Henry discovering mud up close for the first time, then Ellie (his co-star) and Daddy (narrator) catch him in the act! His sharing mud with Ellie, her frantically trying to get it off her hands, the "pppffffhhht" after he puts it in his mouth... it's all so damn adorable you can't stand it.  Something about toddlers trying anything for the first time-- the wonder on their faces makes all the sleepless nights and loads of cloth diapers worthwhile. Enjoy!

Grass napping at Anderson park

Earlier today, my kids and I sat on the floor to watch "Signing Time" and I quickly had a sleeping baby lying on either side of my chest. I must have followed suit because I awoke 2 hours later with Henry asleep on my left and Jack, our Min Pin curled up in Ellie's place. I did my best coyote ugly move and jumped to my feet without waking Henry. I scanned the room and finally spotted Ellison, directly behind where we all slept, sitting quietly on the couch with Oliver, our Dachshund mix, beside her. and They both were staring intently at Mommy's Facebook page while Ellie pushed buttons on our open laptop. I thought it was odd that Ollie had chosen not to stay with us boys under the warm covers, until I watched Ellison carefully reach into my open bag of Chex Mix and feed her puppy and then herself, in that order. If only she would share with her brother like that.... then again, she was slowly poisoning my dog with chocolate covered chex mix.
