Stone Mtn on the train

Drew didn't want to smile, but he did want to do this...

Drew's crush

Not that he has any idea what a crush is at 3 years old, but he's totally digging on two of the basketball players at Brookwood. First, Courtney Erickson, or Little Courtney as Kate and Drew call her (she's pretty short and there's a taller Courtney on varsity).

Second, Katie Mallow. Wy does Drew like her? Well, she had a pretty bad sprained ankle and had to sit out a couple of games. During that, she would be on the bench during games with her foot in a big bucket of ice. Apparently, Drew thinks that is awesome. And now, he's pretty much focused on finding where she is whenever we walk into the gym.

Ben wearing heels

Ben was working very hard to figure out how to get both of Kate's heeled sandals on at once.

Cuddle time

Drew put his arm around Ben for a long time to watch super why on tv while sitting on mommy and daddy's bed.

Losing teeth

Kate let mommy pull her top tooth out today.  She said it didn't even hurt!

I am messy

I can't convey the volume of food he just ate

Kate is funny

Kate brings me a piece of cake on a princess plate.

Kate, was this your idea?
Yes
Kate, I have four words for you.  Go to your room.
Daddy, I have two words for you.  No way.

Doing some reading

YEEHAAAA!

Ben's fave toys

Currently a two toy race between balls and books. He can sit in the same spot for 30 minutes "reading" books one after the other. And, balls clearly bring him a ton of joy. We are also surprised at his desire for autonomous play, figured he would either tag along more or want to do what Kate/Drew are doing, but he pretty much walks off on his own and can play happily for quite a while.
