Poop in the tub!

I don't mean to be crude, but it is fun to have a "normal" baby adventure sometimes!

I love finding these.


His sisters care for him so much.  Elsa regularly brings him little surprises and decorations, like one of her precious flowers (yep, from Daddy, from the night of the Nutcracker), carefully decorated with some discarded packing peanuts.

The Nutcracker

We took Elsa to see the Nutcracker for one of her Christmas presents this year.  It was her first ballet, AND the first time she got flowers from Daddy.  She was SO HAPPY!
 
 
We know she loved the flowers because they were mostly picked off and played with by the following afternoon, and we know she loved the ballet because she has been dancing ever since.


 
And we know Nora loves her sister because she has tried to copy her dancing as best as she can.
 
 
I especially like this photo of Joel and Nora trying to do ballet together:
 

Bright Eyes


Redheads

For anyone still wondering, yes, Oliver has red hair.


Silly Daddy

The girls with the especially cold weather this winter and us being more house-bound than usual wtih Oliver, the girls have gotten a touch of cabin fever in the last few weeks.  It has led them to anticipate Daddy's arrival home even more than before - they greet him at the door with "Daddy, let's rough house!"
 
 
This scene is not so "rough" but it is rather silly, I don't recall what they were singing together:

Secrets


She wouldn't tell me what she was whispering to him.
