A typical dinner

I present the future Nobel laureates in "Imitating Soen."

Night Night Time

Some nights, when wife is at Yoga and I'm putting the kids to bed on my own, they like to do the whole bedtime process together, which yields fun pics like this one. This is a good pic of Sadie huffing on her nook nook bear. Usually she lays there huffing away, pausing only to request the next song she wants sung to her. She has two of them, so she huffs on the one and occasionally offers the other one to you. It's considered impolite to refuse.

Unrelated to this: I'm kind of tired of the river of snot that's been flowing in our house since September. And of course it's not just affecting the kids. I can't remember the last time I wasn't reaching for a tissue. It used to be that I'd get a cold and it would hang around for a day or two and be gone. Now they never seem to go away. Are these bugs getting stronger or am I getting weaker?

Don't answer that.

The seasons

Sadie is actually doing a fairly good job imitating my hand gestures. I like how she wipes her hands clean of the whole thing at the end. At least she's listening. Soen, on the other hand, stared at me like I was making the sound that adults make on the old Peanuts TV specials. I edited his snarky response out.

Let's do it!

I just realized the other day that I never posted this video on the ol' blog before. It's a trip seeing Soen at this age. I believe this is from Jan '06, so he was roughly the same age as Sadie is now.

I can watch this thing over and over again. I love that he blinks his eyes as he's saying it. Like he's really feeling it.
