I haven't shared pictures in a while, and wanted to post some. You will see that Mr. Third Born clearly envisions himself as a toddler instead of a baby. If he hears anyone mention the word "outside," he runs for his shoes. If the big kids come to the table, he calls his own name, clearly indicating that HE would like to eat whatever it is, too. And he loves to climb up on the couch to sit with us.
The other two kiddos are growing fast, too! M's two favorite games are: 1. Pretending to be a pet mouse (not sure why), and 2. Pretending she's found a lot of lost babies and needs to take care of them. The eldest kiddo is currently very enamored with pruning. He was allowed to prune a tree in the back yard, and now wants to prune pretty much everything in sight. He's not half bad at it, either, but I've had to tell him they all need to grow more now before he can take another go-around.
Here's a photo of us right before Aunt G's wedding.
The HAT. Right now, our third child really, really, really likes hats.
We found wonderful boxes for each of the big kids' craft supplies. Any papers left outside of the box are FORFEIT, and the cupboard is now blissfully tidy.
"Don't you know I want to craft, too?"
Picking currents of our bush.
A craft we made. When opened:
Voila! Baby birds!
This shoe goes here, right?
Fancy that--another hat!
The Duplos are still in constant use.
And apparently I have a video of the hat, too, from a different day:
