Jade's Favorite Things, #20

Andrew's Eyes.

When he was born, he came out very quiet, and his eyes were as open and as large as they could be.  He startled me a little as I was expecting a screaming child with squinting eyes.  His calmness was a little alarming at first, but when he looked at me, it just seemed like he knew way more then he should.  Those wide eyes have stayed, and flowers have formed around the iris.  Some day, some girl is going to be really lucky to gaze into his eyes all the time.   They are gorgeous. 

I wish I was a better photographer to get a better picture.  If you get a chance to get close, and look in his eyes, do.  You won't regret it. 

Our Quarterback

He finally allowed me to be on his team, and these were my instructions in our huddle.  Just wanted to be sure you got all the instructions because I only got, "...and get a touch down."

New Tunnel

I love when our little town makes BIG news.

I know there are many that are anxiously awaiting the opening of this tunnel.  Our family is anxiously awaiting the walking/biking path that will take the place of the old Devil's Slide. 

Keeping Busy

Our new method of entertainment in the afternoon is "homework" as Sean calls it.  A friend of mine introduced me to Kumon, and while we didn't physically sign up for Kumon, we do have many of the books and Sean loves them.  

My view while working.

Our only problem (I remember having the same problem with Andrew) is that Sean doesn't believe a word I say.  An example, when I told him the word was MAP... he quickly corrected me and said NO, it is EARTH.  I tried to correct him, but he is pretty adamant he knows the answers.  The conversation ended with him saying, "fine, I am not playing with you anymore."  Good think we have another year and half before kindergarten to work on his "teachability".
