Baybulls & Carousels

You might wonder why the blog posts are so few and far between... well, you see, there is a slight holdup. We moved our computer from what is now set up to be Henry's room to our bedroom. For some reason, our neighbor's internet doesn't seem to reach quite that far. We can do the basics, but it's pretty hard to upload adorable pictures and videos. But we'll work on it. In the meantime, a list of things to come:

1. John Dickson hanging out in his froggy pool
2. John Dickson swimming and some jumping into the pool videos from Mimi's house
3. John Dickson swimming at Leslie's kiddie pool
4. John Dickson swimming at Granna & Papa's with Ella
5. John Dickson toddling around in the kiddie pool at Granna & Papa's
6. John Dickson toddling around in the kiddie pool while Ella swims like a big girl at Granna & Papa's.

Are we noticing a theme?

7. Super cute pictures from fathers day
8. Some great pictures and videos of John Dickson at Space Kidets, where he took some amazing spills down gigantic slides and loved every minute of it.
9. A video from Space Kidets, where John Dickson got his first hole in 5.
10. John Dickson at Riverbanks Zoo within 2 feet of a giraffe. He touched him, but we didn't get that exact moment on camera. I touched him too. Just sayin.

And if you're really good (i.e. if I get everything hung on the walls), you may see some pictures of Henry's new digs.

And in case you were wondering what kind of cuteness John Dickson has been up to, well -

1. He woke up at 1:30 the other night and got up 5 times before we realized he wanted his bucket. He then slept with his bucket.
2. John Dickson thinks I work at the carousel. He told us he was going to work the other day, and when I asked him where, he said "I go horsey round and round up and down". Now when I tell him I am going to work, he says "Mommy go horsey round and round." Mommy wishes, buddy. Mommy wishes.
3. Bagel = "baybull"
4. I called Jared in search of Lauren the other night (Aunt La La) and John Dickson about ripped the phone out of my hands, saying "La La? La La?"
5. We don't do a whooooole lot of the "where's Henry" business with John Dickson. So it was really sweet the other night when I told him to give Henry a kiss and he did, and then said "Ohn Daason big brother."
6. John Dickson has been doing a LOT of pretending lately, which mainly revolves around cooking supper and disciplining his toys. Oh, and he makes bess-es in the bath (breakfast). He keeps telling us things are hot, and the other day he told me "Don't touch that bucket. No sir! Don't touch that." He has also been overheard telling Elmo "Dont do that Elmo. That no nice." And then there was the whale who was in timeout for touching the cup that apparently had apples in it.
7. We brought John Dickson's big boy bed up the other weekend, but we've been gone since, so on Wednesday morning I told him about his bed, which was in Henry's room up on its side.
"Do you want to have a big bed?"
"Yeah!"
"Do you want to go see your big bed?"
"Yeah!"
"Here it is, this is your new bed!"
::funny looks from John Dickson::
"No. I no like that."
It turns out he was, we believe, confused by the vertical bed, because after we got it put together, he had a blast playing on it, and has very much enjoyed sleeping on it. He will call Adam from the other room and tell him to come sit on his bed so they can play together. It is quite cute. Quite.
8. John Dickson was playing with Ellie the other day, and then he ran off and came back with his vet kit and proceeded to examine her ears. She let him.

Stay tuned for more cuteness. I promise the pictures are coming!
