Little Stories

Lunchtime yesterday, just another crazy meal with these little guys.  All of a sudden I see milk launch across the table and hit my wreath in the center, and it came from Dawson!  Mike and I both responded with a loud "NO!" which of course made him burst into tears.  (He is coming into the stage where he needs the beginnings of discipline, but gets really upset.)  I took his milk sippy cup off him and eventually he settled down.  Then Ava looked at him and said "Santa knows what you did Dawson.  You better be good!"  She is such a silly girl!

But back to Dawson, he is growing into this amazingly fun little boy.  He is started to imitate many nonverbal gestures including nodding yes and no, pointing his finger, wagging his finger, blowing kisses and waving hi.  My favorite is when he starts crawling towards the television and I say his name.  He will look at me and start nodding yes, to see if he can get away with pushing the buttons.  Like I said, the beginnings of discipline are definetely needed!

It is amazing the little memory Carter is starting to develop.  The other day before we went to Pump it up, he was explaining to Ava the snail she would see.  Then he began describing the snail at Bananas.  I couldn't believe that he remembered this, it had been at least a year since we had been there!
