Another Eric-ism or Two

Eric is a funny little boy. He comes up with some interesting new words. One such word is "fiveteen" instead of "fifteen". That is understandable I guess. Logic would indicate that after thirteen and fourteen and before sixteen and seventeen, one would count fiveteen. So cute. Jonathan has taken to correcting Eric quite often about this error, so I don't think Eric is using it much any more.

His newest Ericism is "blowcano" instead of volcano. Grandma Jackie has a science kit that includes a volcano experiment. Eric loves the "blowcano". That word cracks me right up. :p

Jonathan's 2nd Missing Tooth

About three weeks ago Jonathan lost his 2nd tooth. This tooth was never found either just like the first tooth that fell out. No blood. No drama. Just, "Mom, I think I lost my tooth." No drama is a good thing. Just once I think I'd like to see the tooth that falls out. Jonathan doesn't believe he is swallowing them. Hmmm, it seems like the only explanation. Luckily, the tooth fairy doesn't need the tooth for any reason. She is still leaving a dollar under his pillow.

Eric Loves the Diggers

If there is a digger at a park, don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Nor should you plan on leaving the park without tears and tantrums. Eric LOVES the diggers! If we had one in our backyard, I doubt we would see the youngster at all during daylight hours. Did I mention he LOVES these things? If there is a digger around, there will be no sharing. Do not attempt to get your own turn. It will only cause much strife and heartache for all involved. Eric LOVES the diggers more than juice I think. Now that is saying a lot.

Vroom, Vroom

The boys and I went and visited Grandma Linda and Grandpa Chuck in Neenah, Wisconsin a few weeks back. One of the special treats was grandpa's remote control monster truck that both boys were able to drive in the road. The boys and grandpa Chuck had a ball! Aren't they all just the cutest?

Cousins & Butterflies

I'm a little behind with this blogging thing. Oops. These photos are from Memorial Day at Grandpa and Grandma Matthews' house. We had a nice barbecue and some kid games. The cousins enjoyed the butterflies that finally emerged from their chrysalids in the butterfly hut. As you can tell, the kids were rather silly and had a grand time. So did us adults.
