So yesterday Andrew did not get a nap. This results in a slow self-destruction for dear Andrew. He slowly becomes less coordinated, and the following events often take place: First, he fell forehead first onto the porch when trying to step out of the wagon, giving himself a nice "goose egg". He then did a complete flip head over heels off the sofa slamming his somewhat oversized head onto the hardwood floors (mind you, he was being supervised the entire time..I guess we need a padded room and a helmet), and last but not least, while we were hanging up the black spider on the porch for Halloween, Andrew turned to go inside, thinking the glass door was not there, and slammed his entire body on the glass. All these events occurred within a 2 hour time frame. It was at that moment we decided to send his tush to bed before he killed himself. Gotta love him.

Those cheeks are so kissable!

Look at all the boys!

Today, Andrew was playing outside with his sister, when to his amazement, he spotted an airplane flying above our house. He proceeded to wave his hands in the air shouting "Help me!" "Help me!" followed by "Save us!!"...of course Elizabeth began to chant along with him..it is fitting that he imagines himself a prisoner in our home....

Well, Andrew is always saying interesting things, as do most children, so I thought I would write some of it down. Just the other day, Andrew asked, "When it is nighttime here, is it night all over the world?"- well, I thought this was an excellent question for a 4 -year- old to ask, and it was a pleasure to explain the answer to him...so whilst I was reveling in my child's creative thinking abilities, he posited yet another inquiry to me, "Mama, what are fish guts?"....much less rewarding to explain that one.

Huge catfish-it hissed at me!
