My Boys is a story of my treasured sons, Jack and Norman, as well as my awesome husband, Blake. There's also a few tidbits about me, Shannon, along the way.

stacking bowls

Norman was playing with the bowl cabinet again last night. After he dragged them all out and banged on them for awhile, he stacked them all up! I don't think Jack EVER played so neatly.

When we were at dad's last weekend, Norman pulled some blocks out of a tub, layed them out on the coffee table, then he put them back into the tub. Amazing!

Norman's Discovery


Norman found the pots and pans cabinet for the first time yesterday. I wondered when he would discover the joy that is clanging together metal bowls!

Jack enjoyed an hour worth of book reading today. More books. More books.

playing






The boys have so much fun playing together. I thought these matching onesies were SO cute. Norman has been clapping more and more. Jack loves and even asks for tickles!

bouncing room




Tonight the boys and I helped Sallie Smith celebrate her 30th birthday. It was a surprise party, and I don't think I have ever been part of a party that actually hides and then calls out 'SURPRISE'! Pretty neat.

Jack had a blast crawling and juming around in the bouncing room that was at the party. Norman had a good time crawling around Woody and Cookie's deck, where the party was held.

lil kickers



Jack went to 'lil kickers today. It was a thousand times better than the first location we tried last week. When we arrived, he received a UNIFORM! He is going to look awesome in his outfit. There were 8 or 10 other little ones his age running around. We have several things to work on with Jack before next week:

running backwards
stretching up then touching toes
red light, yellow light, green light (stop, slow, go)
sitting in one spot
one foot on the ball
kicking back and forth

Whoo. I got worn out! Dustin was kind enough to watch Norman for me because Blake was in Terre Haute. Norman was not used to being by himself without brother or other kids. Tears dried up pretty quickly when he saw mama.
