Crazy . . . Messy . . . Boys

 Asher likes to play with his food sometimes . . . usually this is our clue that he is finished eating.  As you can see he is quite proud of his smarty pants skilz.

 Briella and Gideon helped me make these sugar cookie bars...they were very proud of their sprinkling.  Do you see where I realized Gideon would require more assistance while sprinkling?!?  We gave most of these away ...but enjoyed ourselves, too.


This is Gideon's new favorite game to play with Asher: pull him around on his blankie :)  Asher laughs hysterically . . . until he slips ...

A couple more Gideon funnies to share:

**We went to a hockey game Friday night.  Tuesday I was dressing Asher while Gideon dressed himself and then he gets up on his toddler bed and jumps over the foot board and says . . . "Now I can play hockey, Mom"

**While listening to the minister read the introduction to the ten commandments, Gideon turns to me and asks, "What's bondage mean?"  (I found it a little tricky to explain quickly and quietly in church.)

A boy thing?!!?

Our dear Gideon is 14.5 months old and not really walking. He'll take several steps when he feels like it, but really he's not walking. I've been told it's a boy thing.

When I picked him up from nursery about a month ago, they told me he was kind of bullying other kids . . . a boy thing? or too much wrestling blood?

A few weeks ago they told me he was standing on top of the slide!

Last week while we were playing outside, he climbed the ladder on the playground and went down the slide on his tummy, laughed, and tried it again. (Brie won't hardly go down without help.) It must be a boy thing.

Stephan was reading a book to him and told him lions "roar" and made a grunting roar sound, Gideon repeated and proceeded to point at animals and grunt/roar at each of them . . . including various birds and a turtle. a boy thing?!?

After changing his diaper last night in the stroller, I set him in his seat and was wrapping up the diaper when he stood up, turned around, and dove into the back seat of the stroller all in about 2 seconds. It must be a boy thing . . .

We love that little boy, but he is WAY different than her!!
