Where Did He Come From?

this boy keeps us hopping and laughing, with the occasional bafflement on how to discipline him. the other day bentley came and found me doing laundry. he told me bridon had done something really naughty while they were playing tinker toys. sure enough! bridon said he had to go to the bathroom and used the tinker toy can. apparently he sat down, because the can was all i had to clean up! last week, while i was making dinner, he disappeared. i yelled for him and could hear him in the garage. he was out riding the mower and trying out some keys. he loves keys. you see he has them in his hand in the pictures...and he also loves his mini screw driver, also with him on the lawn mower. ben said when he picked him up from nursery today, he had to unload his pocket full of keys. he keeps all the cabinet and nursery room keys for his teacher, who he loves! it's a strange obsession. when emry was getting her shots this week, he pulled out ben's spare pickup keys right in the dr's office. he'd been carrying them in his sweatshirt. he takes forever to eat a meal. everyone's all ready cleaned up and down while he finishes up. he is a pretty descent eater though, and i'd rather have him have that habit than eating too fast and being a slob! he prefers to play outside when there is 'no wind'. sometimes he'll just go out and play with the dog or walk around just for fun. he loves to play and does stuff like wrap his chopper in electrical tape and puts his stuffed animals to sleep (very possessive of those guys). he is such a quirky little guy, is still mean to his sister :(, and says the funniest things. he can't wait for 'may ninf'..his birthday where he told us he wants some new band-aids. what a silly, silly boy! :)
