My Bed-Making Machine!

Mesele LOVES to help out with just about anything! When we are finished a meal, he likes to put the dishes into the dishwasher (even though I usually rearrange them afterwards!), and after carefully watching me make the beds, he decided that he could do that too!

Today I watched him make the beds and it was so funny!! He hangs off the side of the top bunk and pulls the blankets up. He doesn't want to sit up on the bed cuz that would make wrinkles where he has already smoothed things out!

When he is ready to make the bottom bed, he crawls right under the bed and pulls the blankets down to make sure that it will be a nice, smooth finished product!


And TA-DA! The finished product is quite amazing! This boy knows how to make a perfect bed! Now I just have to teach him how to make my bed and things will be just perfect!!

MOMMY.....I'm flying!

Yesterday Daddy was playing/wrestling with Mesele and Abinet. After a little while, their game turned into "airplane rides!"Abinet would get up on Dadddy's legs and yell, "Mommy, I'm flying to Ethiopia!" His plane didn't look all that stable, so I don't think I would want to ride on his plane!

Of course Mesele had to try doing the same thing. He hopped up on Daddy's legs and became another airplane. They sure love playing with their Daddy and I'm glad that he has the energy to keep up with them!

Case of the Missing Tooth!

Well, Mesele has lost his first tooth already! He is quite proud of the empty spot in his mouth and will proudly show it off to whoever is willing to stop and look. About a week ago, he was eating a crab apple and that was enough to loosen the tooth just a little bit. At first it seemed that the tooth would stay there for a long time yet, but this little man wiggled and wiggled it until it FINALLY came out!Once it was loose enough, he pulled it out himself. Now I have a little tooth sitting in my room and I guess it's time to bring the Tooth Fairy into the picture. (Any ideas as to how much money you give for a first tooth?) He's just growing up TOO quickley!

Our First Family Thanksgiving!

This year I got to make a Thanksgiving meal for MY family! No, I didn't cook a turkey, it was just a little chicken, but it was good enough for the four of us.We all ate WAY too much food. Mesele is such a chicken lover that I think he had about 3 0r 4 helping just of chicken! He has an appetite just like his Daddy!
This morning, we showed the boys how to break the wishbone. They didn't make a wish because we weren't quite sure how to explain that to them and we had a hard enough time getting them to understand how to break this bone. After MANY attempts..........
Mesele won!
It was a great Thanksgiving and I look forward to the next one!

Movie Night!

The other night, Daddy was gone for the evening so I decided to do a movie night with the boys. I was a little bit nervous because they have never sat through an entire movie before. One evening my friend Jill had been watching the boys, and she put in the the CARS movie. She told me that the boys seem to really like the little bit that they saw. I borrowed that movie from her and Mesele was just about jumping out of his skin when he found out that's what we were going to be watching!While the boys started the movie, I made supper and brought it to them. They ate at a little picnic table and, to their delight, they got to have pop!! I could get them to pose for the odd picture, but they really didn't like to be disturbed while watching! They peppered me with questions when they didn't understand what was happening in the movie, but still didn't like to tear their eyes away from the screen!
After supper was done, we all had a little bit of popcorn. It was so cute to watch them in their first movie experience. After the movie was done, Mesele looked at me and asked, "Can we watch it again, right now?" I guess they really liked the movie!

Another Injury

Hello everybody! I'm back with some more pictures to share with you all. These probably aren't the best pictures to be sharing, as they involve more injuries. BUT....life with toddlers involves almost daily injuries now! The other day, Abinet and I took Mesele to pre-school. After we dropped him off, Abinet wanted to go for a long bike ride around town. He LOVES riding bike, especially now that he is on a "big" bike and not a tricycle. Well, we started off and headed towards the one "hill" in Osler. When Abinet got to the hill, he tried one of Mesele's tricks which included lifting your feet off the peddles and trying to balance.Ummm......Abinet doens't balance so good. His bike started to wobble and he couldn't stop it. Yes, he was wearing a helmet, but the helmet didn't protect his little chin! I was so worried that he bit his tongue or worse, but thanfully, he just scaped up his chin. It was nothing that a Curious George Band-Aid couldn't fix!
As soon as George was stuck on him, he was as good as new. I actually had to ask him to make a sad face because he couldn't stop smiling! Yep.....he's cute!!
