Whether Super Blankie Man is zooming through the universe saving tigers and dogs or Dancing Rex is reinventing the art of human movement, there truly is never a dull moment around our house.
Super Blankie Man first made an appearance a couple of days ago and seemed to have required a thorough testing of his new-found super-powers as he circled the living room/kitchen too many times to count – the room was a flurry of giggling blankie for nearly a half hour.
Meanwhile, Dancing Rex (he named himself) showed up while I was playing guitar and Jessica quickly grabbed the video camera in hopes of capturing his highly-advanced movements. Though a bit demanding at times (ie., “Dad. You sing!”), Dancing Rex was extraordinarily entertaining.
Lord help us if these two happen to meet up. Hopefully it won’t happen until college – at least then his roommates can clean up the mess!
I cannot believe that Christmas was already a week ago! It seems as though you wait all year for it, only to have the holidays slip past in a blink. And this year was no different.
Being almost 3, Will “got” the idea of Christmas quite a bit more than last year. We went to Jess’ parents on Christmas Eve and then spent Christmas day at home. Santa came during the night and Will was amazed to see that Santa had taken a bite of cookie and that the reindeer had nibbled on “those special Santa carrots.”
This is a very belated post and I have no excuse whatsoever for taking as long as I have. But I will mention that I have only recently returned from a prolonged alien abduction and while my physical form was still walking amongst everyone here on earth, my metaphysical self was being poked and prodded. I am not making excuses or anything though… just thought you might like to know.
Jess, Will, and I headed to Wabash, IN, for Thanksgiving and had a great time. We had originally set out early Wednesday afternoon but turned about 30 minutes into the trip because Will woke from a nap saying his head hurt. We spent the afternoon and evening monitoring WIll (who turned out be okay – just tired), then made the trip again very early (on the road by 6:45am) Thanksgiving morning! We drove through some snow (what would a northern Michigan Thanksgiving be without a snow storm?), but otherwise had a non-eventful, relaxing trip!
