Lewis' Book

Lewis wrote his first book today all on his own! He had been wanting to write it all day, so I set him up with everything during his quiet time. Then, he told me the words, and I wrote them. He is SO excited about his book!

Happy Birthday Jake's Watch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TmRGqpU8Qo

(Jake has been able to entertain Beau for ages since the time Beau was a tiny baby by handing over his watch. We spent many a happy sacrament meeting watching Jake work his magic by putting his watch on Beau, having Beau put it back on him, etc. So cute! We now have Jake's watch as a gift to Beau. It's alarm goes off every day around 11am, so if we're home, we have our daily "Jake's Watch" moment when we hear the ring!)

Beau and Ada, hand in hand

We have fabulous neighbors! Here's Beau with his little friend, Ada. They're walking hand in hand, having the cutest little time together!

Reading Red!

Lewis and I just played a reading game with letter crackers. He just read his first word...red! (And then he read about 6 more words before his 4 year old, late afternoon attention span ran out!)

SO proud of him

Beau reads a story

Beau is getting so big! He mentions 'Salty' the train a lot...to help everyone decipher...and tells a great story!

Two cute videos from the boys playing outside this afternoon.

In other news,
When I got Beau up from his nap today, he had his Paddington and his monkeys lined up along the side of the crib, and he was sitting alongside pretending that they were all sitting in a grocery store. He stood up and said, "Mommy, you sit down in the grocery store too. You come in the crib. Here, I help you!" Then he leaned right forward, put his arms under me, and tried to lift me into his crib.
SO precious!
