Christmas in Hollis, Windsor Style.

Did you know that Windsor loves Run-DMC?

The video turns to rightside-up pretty quickly. You only have to turn your head sideways for a few seconds.



I like the spinning the best.

Photo Catchup.

I'm a little behind in posting, but hopefully this will catch you up.

A few weeks ago, we had snow! Kind of. For a few minutes. Windsor reluctantly played in it (along with the 10,000 leaves that fell off our trees).







The next day, it was still cold, so naturally he put on this cow costume and hung out outside.



A few weeks ago Windsor was trying hard to prove that he needs new toys for Christmas, so he sat on a bag of diapers and started beating on a cat food box with a piece of straw that fell out of the broom. Work it, Windsor!



I attempted to get a Christmas card picture out of Windsor sitting in a chair with his elephant friend. No dice.







Then they started wrasslin'.



Yesterday Windsor wore this cute outfit to school. Like his mother, he is destined for a life of highwaters.



Here he is after school yesterday drawing at his table.



I am in love with his homemade lamp. Also, his hair. Also, him.

Leaf-Raking Helper Extraordinaire.

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.
