Eric Christopher!!!

When I was out shopping today, someone asked how old my kids were, probably because they saw I was badly wanting to talk about the both of you! With pure excitement in my voice I said, "I've got a boy Eric who's almost 2 1/2 and a baby girl Sara who's just about 7 months!" It took everything in my power not to go on and on about the both of you.

So I figured it was time to write down all the things you and you sister are up to these days. The things that make your Daddy and I smile from ear to ear and want to share with the world!!!

We'll start with you since you like to go first and Sara (for now) doesn't mind waiting her turn!

TEACHER BOOKS!
You LOVE "teacher books!" and Mrs. Sa-beeena! (Sabrina) but that's for another post! :) Daddy and you read two teacher books at the end of each day. You know every word to all the books and have a hysterical sway to your body when you read them!

Some of your favorites are:
One Duck Stuck- That's what you are reading in the video
Down by the Station- At times your teacher will let you read it to the class during story time you love it so much!
To Market To Market: Mommy and Daddy just bought you this one for home and you've slept with it every night since!

ELBOW!
You don't think you have an elbow when your arm is straight. When you bend your arm you'll say "my e-bow!". However, when you straighten it, you'll say "no more e-bow!"

ABCD's!
That's what you call them anyway. And you've got Mommy saying it too! Daddy had to correct me the other day and said, "Mommy, it stops at C. It's ABC's!" :)

GROCERY STORE!
You absolutely love it there! Not to mention, you've somehow reminded Mommy and Daddy of a few things we were missing at times! You do get a bit loud though. You'll yell RED PEPPERS! or APPLES! or PAPER TOWELS! in pure excitement! Definitely makes a lot of people smile- you are just so excited to be there!

PEPPERS!
Speaking of peppers, you love them! However, you don't love to eat them. As a matter of fact, you won't! You simply love holding them! When Mommy and Daddy buy you one, you'll hold it all night and put it nite nite next to you when you go to bed!

I should mention you also LOVE that red car! Every time we drive through our parking garage you always look for a very certain, Red Car and Yellow car! When they are not there you will say "Oh No! Where red/yellow car go?" When they are there, you get super excited and say, Red CaaaaaaRRRRRRRRR!

I SPY!!!
It's your favorite game to play!

Part I


Part II

The other day I had to call Daddy with this one. We were shopping and you said "Mommy, I spy something I want Meows!" (Your favorite snack!) This cracked me up, so much so, we went down the meow aisle and you got some meows!

RED VAN, BLUE VAN!
Each and every day when we drive to play school, you look for your favorite Red Van, Blue Van.

If only one is there you get disappointed.

But if both are there, you get so very excited!

TOAST!
Oh, and you love toast! However, when we pull out a piece of "wheat" bread, you want it as is. You think it's already toast due to it's brown color! You are always so surprised when it's not hot!

See how much fun you make everything! Now you know exactly why Mommy and Daddy want to talk a complete strangers ear off about you!!! Next we'll find out why we want to talk about "baby" so much!!!
