I have been a bad blogger lately.  It feels like we've been super busy the last few weeks, but for some reason there is not much to report.  I suppose with working late on Mondays, dance on Tuesdays, gymnastics on Wednesdays, and working every other Saturday our free time is a little limited.  I have a few small things I wanted to jot down before I forgot them though, so here it goes:

Way back when we used to play outside, Buddy created a new way to play with all of his animal figures.  He drew chalk "cages" on the driveway and made "Como Zoo".  He really gets into his animals and loves playing with them.  In the house, he sorts them by continent or area (Africa, forest, farm, dino world, bug world, etc.).  He will sometimes make Como Zoo or Noah's Ark or an animal parade.  Buddy knows so much about animals.  The other day he told me to pretend to be a gazelle and he would be a cheetah.  Then he said he would chase me and eat me.  How does he know that stuff?!?



Buddy has been coming in to our room for the past few weeks saying he was scared. At first, it was 5 or 6 in the morning. We would just let him snuggle in for the last few hours and it wasn't a problem. Lately, though, he's been bringing a blanket and pillow around 1 or 2 a.m. and expecting to stay the whole night. We've had to put the smack down. After a hug and some reassuring, we can get him to stay in his bed. He's been up twice a night for the last few days but we haven't let him in our bed. Hopefully he'll get the picture soon.

We are getting excited for Girl's Weekend this weekend and then Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am sure the next few weeks are going to fly by!
