Chips

Yoda took Sport-ies for Short-ies this past month.  Poor kid gets so lonely without his big brother and sister around.  They played different sports each week, t-ball, soccer, hurdles, football, etc.  The last week they played fun games and had an obstacle course.  He did the whole thing in 33 seconds and he tells EVERYONE!

As Yoda ran down the hill, I got a little nervous...
Me, "be careful, watch out!"
Yoda, "I'm watching out!"

Yoda, "Dad, do you want some chips while we wait for our food?"
Greg, "No, I'll just wait for the food."
Yoda, "I'm going to wait too AND eat my chips."

Spring and Cleaning

This Spring has been amazing!  Nice and cool with lots of outdoor activities. 

 Here's Mimi at a Brownie event, it couldn't have been nicer! 

 __________

To help Yoda get dressed sometimes I do a countdown...
Me, "put your pants on in 10...9...8..."
Yoda, "I'm can't hurry!"  or "I'm not gonna make it!"
__________

But when he tries to say 'hurry' he says 'hu-we'
So I try to help him by sounding it out slowly
Me, "Say it like this...'hur' 'rey'
Yoda, "I'm not gonna say it like that"
__________

Greg, "You can't use this toy"
Yoda, "Let's talk about it"

I've been cleaning things out and decided it's time to get rid of videos that no one watches.  Parker was shocked that I had these in the goodwill bin.   I told him there was no way we were keeping them, but that we could take a photo of them if he wanted to remember the videos he's watched about a million times each. 

Yoda Asleep

He outgrew a formal nap almost a year ago, but lately he has fallen asleep at funny times and places.

This was just this past week...

He's also had strep 3 times in 4 months so we are off to the ENT, hopefully nothing is really wrong.

Yoda's advice...

Mimi, "I feel a little car-sick."
(completely serious) Yoda, "Mimi, if you feel throw up in your throat, just choke it down."

"May the 4th...

be with you, always"

(Parker is in the background about to throw Yoda on the ground.) 

Mimi, "Uh, shouldn't 'Yoda' be wearing this?"

Here he is from a few years back. 

Or here and here.
