praise: the son's head is free.
prayer: the husband started in-service this week and starts seminary on friday. jr. hi. classes begin on monday.
playfulness: the most recent event in our house was the rescue of the son's head. he was supposed to be in bed napping, but when i went in to put auburn down, i found him sitting behind the door with the frame of a puzzle around his neck. he looked up at me and said "i'm stuck". it was quite funny looking, but i have no idea how he got it on. we tried to get it off over his head, but it hurt too much. finally he said, 'i want it off this way" and then he pushed down. after some tugging and stuffing (the pudginess) we were able to get it off of him. he immediately crawled in bed, and i believe he is asleep because there is no sound on the monitor.
we have had a few more "toy story" phrases crop up in regular conversation. i blogged about the "ketchup" one last time. here are the others: the son has for the past week or two been jumping around the house saying a jumble of sounds that we could not identify. the husband finally deciphered them: "infinity and beyond". i guess the son things he's taking off like buzz does. the son has also recently been excited about having tea. it wasn't til i saw buzz (aka mrs. nesbit) drinking tea with hannah after his broken arm that i realized why this is so much fun now. the next phrase is "give me a hand' (when buzz throws his broken arm up to woody at the window). the other day, the son and i were playing candyland and he said "give me a hand". he wasn't content until i put my hand in his. the final thing is "use your legs". the son told the husband to "use your legs" the other day when he wanted him to get up. we thought he came up with the phrase on his own, until we saw the part where woody tries to get buzz to stand up and says "you gotta help me here, use your legs". even though he's getting these phrases from an "outside source", i'm glad to see that he can use some of them in correct context in other scenarios.
until the next adventure...
