Choo Choo Train

The kids were so hyper last night right before bed. After brushing their teeth they were doing what they called the "choo choo train". Mitchell sat down in the cupboard first and asked Casey to sit on his lap. Then Casey asked Maggie to sit on his lap. They were giggling and yelling "Choo choo"! They thought it was hilarious, until of course Maggie wasn't happy with her place in the train. As always, all good things must come to an end. If you look closely in this first picture you can Mitchell squished in there behind Casey.



Mitchell looks like he's thinking, "Oh my god you guys are heavy!"

The kids are majorly attched to their blankies. Quite a while ago Mitchell designated 1 of his 4 corners to be more special than the others and he would always take that corner of his blankie and rub it under his nose. Maggie and Casey would do the same with a corner but it didn't have to be a specific one. Well, Mitchell has pulled and played with that special corner so much that all that is left of it now is a long string with a little bit of yarn on the end that he's holding up in the picture. He will search through his blankie until he finds the string with the bit on the end which he still calls "corner".

As you can see he has also made a "super big hole" in the middle of his blankie. He is so descriptive, everything is either super huge, super big, too small, medium, too full, too much etc.

The funny thing is that my mom made him another blanket, same color and same type of yarn and when we gave it to him in place of his old blankie he looked at it, checked out each of the corners and said "No, my blue blankie". So what does Grandma do? Make him another blankie trying to get it a little closer to his liking. We'll have to see if we can fool him with this new one.

A few more pictures during some down time on the couch with daddy right before their nap. Their 2 favorite shows right now are In the Night Garden and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They have just recently gotten to a point where they will actually sit through a whole 30 min program and I have to honestly say I don't mind at all!



Can you tell Casey was into it?
