Brownies and Brownie Balls

Todd loves sweets... Michael loves Daddy and wants to emulate him in every way - so Michael loves sweets with Daddy. Michael and Todd made brownies the other night. Little man is all about helping in the kitchen lately! Chris kept trying to climb on the step-stool with Michael, but there wasn't room... I snapped the picture just after he gave up.

The new key to getting Michael to sit and eat a good dinner? Brownies. Will Chris eat brownies off of a plate? No way. Will he eat them if you roll them into little brown balls? Sure! (I won't mention what those little brown brownie balls look like...)

Remember Me??

I know that I've been slacking on the blogs lately... Ok, I've been downright lazy about it! Well, now that I'm in the groove at school, I promise to update more often.

Meredith and I took Michael and Juliana to Disney on Ice on Friday evening. Michael LOVED it! I can't wait to take him to the theater for the first time to see Toy Story! He wants to be Buzz Lightyear for Halloween!

Michael-isms:
Michael has picked up the phrase, "It's not fair!" However, he doesn't quite get it right... When he's upset that he isn't getting his way, he says, "You're fair, Mommy!" or "That's fair!" Of course, I always agree with him (while giggling to myself)!

Chris-isms:
Yes, it's Chris's first Chris-ism. Chris loves to scream at the top of his lungs just to scream at the top of his lungs. Not because he's upset or scared or startled, but because he wants to scream. Todd and I usually tell him quietly, "Chris, shhh." At the dinner table tonight, Chris was screaming again (captive audience, ya know) and, before Todd or I could stop him, he stopped and "shhh'd" himself! It was quite funny seeing him scream then shush, then scream, then shush. Silly boy!
