Adorable

LBB has been needing a bit of extra connection and comfort at bedtime. I get to drift off to sleep looking at this cute boy.

Treasures

Great grandma's hand knits. Passed done and worn by all the kids, providing warmth and comfort. Such a gift.

And yes, it is on backwards!

LBB was needing a place to tuck himself away, but still be close to the action. He had been requesting to hide himself away under the pulled out hide-a-bed. We were ok with this, but found the sofa to take up a lot of space when pulled out. So, Dad to the rescue with a homemade fort. We had all the supplies. It took an hour to put together. LBB is very happy and so are we.

Sledding

We found an awesome sled hill that on icy days rockets us down the mountain. I watch as LBB fearlessly zooms down the glaringly Icy slope at breathe taking speeds and wonder what crazy, Ridiculous, heart pounding, scary things he is going to do when he is older. if he is already attempting luge at barely 5 years old, I fear the future. Yes, helmets are mandatory.

I tried a vides, but it doesn't show the full extent of his crazyness.

So a picture of our household princess will haves to do.

Growing Up

Just a week after turning 5, LBB excitedly ran into the kitchen announcing a loose tooth. The next day, we attended a neighborhood potluck - right next door. The twins were having allergy trouble and went home a few minutes before we were ready. LBB insisted on going too. A half hour later, we arrived home greated by a grinning, bloody faced LBB. He says, "look it fell out." Hmm. More like he yanked that sucker out of there. We asked if it hurt and he replied, "not a bit."

Now when we announce bedtime, LBB announces that he gets to stay up later now that he is big like brothers.
