Very Tidy


It seems that it has already been a nearly a month since my last blog. Folks, family, and friends I would love to make a living blogging away but now just isn't the time. In the last month Aaron and I have been logging some crazy work hours, which really just good fortune in this "economy thing". Between working 12 hour days and helping Eric recover from pneumonia we managed to get some skiing, attend Sam & Maylen's birthday celebration, and almost get the new dishwasher in.

Eric is talking A LOT and we love it. He is putting together sentences (in his own way) and surprises me with how sharp he is. Today he looked at a picture of a "man" he colored at day care and said "dat Barack Obama". Sure enough he had colored the President. Colors aren't yet his strong point but in good time.

He is also very tidy and likes things in their place. For example the wrapper from the juice straw goes immediately in the garbage and all trucks get parked in their garage. Yesterday we were at the store blow-dryer shopping (which is right up there with vacuum shopping on Eric "top things to do when it is raining outside) and he hands me something and says, "trash Momma, put in da trash". What had he just handed me? A booger he picked from his nose. Guess he didn't feel comfortable just dropping the booger in the ground.
