Happy Thanksgiving!

Windsor had a big time Thanksgiving yesterday!

Windsor gave thanks for his puppy:


Then he had a big lunch:


Then he ran around with a bucket on his head -- as you do:


Then he took a stroll with his great-grandmother:


Then he performed an Olympics-worthy acrobatic routine featuring his chair:


Hope you all had a great day!

Screaming! And Shhh-ing.

A Few Things to Remember.

Sorry, no pictures today, but I wanted to write a few things down.

The other night after I put lotion on him, Windsor swiped at his legs, then put his hand (coated in lotion) in his mouth. I made a yuck face and pretended to be spitting. He did the same. Now, whenever I change him, he swipes at his legs or tummy, puts his hand in his mouth, and pretends to spit. It is awesome.

Other things:
1. He can say, "Get down, Pete!" reasonably well.
2. All the time I thought he was saying "Reese" (the name of one of the boys in his class), he was saying "please"!
3. When Lulu barks, Windsor puts his finger on his nose and goes, "Ssssss." This is supposed to be shhhh. However, if Windsor is screaming with joy and I say "shh," it makes him scream more/louder. Heaven forbid I randomly say "shhh" when he's NOT screaming, as this will give him the bright idea to start screaming.
4. He tells Lulu to go night-night when she is being bad.
5. Favorite book? Hand, Hand, Fingers, Toes. He sleeps with it. This is not a problem unless it's nap time and he protests by banging the book on the wall.

It's Good for What Ails You.

Fireman Windsor.

Yesterday Windsor got to jump around in a bouncy house for the first time. It was fun!



He also got to hang out on a fire truck in his fireman costume! How serendipitous!
