It is absolutely amazing what she convinces him to do. It won't be long before sitting in a cushy Cinderella chair, propping his feet up and allowing her to groom him will be out of his comfort zone. She enjoys practicing her hair, make-up and teaching skills and for now he just enjoys all the pampering.

While attempting to get him to outgrow his two naps, this afternoon he was a tad bit on the whiny side. But never fear, Big Sister is here! She wrapped up her painting project, started playing with him and gave me over an hour of uninterrupted, no hassle and no refereeing time to prepare supper. I could hear them over the monitor and all sounded well, so what else is there to do? Why get the camera of course.
How did she get him to be quiet for so long? She managed to convince him to sit still, on top of her pillow, with a blanket over his legs and read books. Only she could do it because you know what would have to freeze over before he'd sit still like that for me. And it lasted for a long time!
At one point I thought to myself, it sounds too good in there, maybe I should go check on them. And quickly it was overruled by, nah, I'm sure what they've done to that room isn't so bad that a little little picking up or cleaning can't fix. Another perfect example of how motherhood has forced me re-prioritize.

He still asks to drive the lawn mower about 20 times a day and now he's added wanting some keys to go drive it. He sees daddy reaching into his pocket for keys so if there are pockets on them shorts, he's wanting to fill 'em with keys.

If you have a little boy who loves any and all trucks, Twenty Trucks is a worthwhile investment. It's his new favorite movie and was worth every penny.
