Stick around, cheese.


While we were eating dinner tonight, Theo's cheese stick rolled from the edge of his plate onto the table. He picked it up, looked it in the "eye" and said, "Stick around, cheese!!"
I've been singing "Lean on Me" to him at night before bed. Tonight, when I got to, "Just call... on... me brother, when you need a friend!" he interjected, "Mom, Uncle Dan can call on me, too. Thank you God, for Uncle Dan!!"
Amen.
I'm amazed at Emmett's sit-n-spin capabilities. Theo didn't figure this thing out until he was almost three. The redhead is a force to be reckoned with.

As you can see, we've been very, very busy. Important things happening here.

Too cute! My kids love the sit n spin too--and they can even get it to work on the carpet in the basement (barely--but it works!)

It's nice to have a more wholesome version of sit and spin in my life Emily. They are usually the words I am screaming at some idiot in rush hour traffic. Love the picture. It is awesome. Those are some CUTE boys you got there!
