Cowboy, Cowboy, Lemon Drop

This afternoon I put Grady in the stroller and carried Pepper in the Moby and went for a walk - I think it was something like 35 so felt spring-like!

Grady and I were talking about our surroundings "who is that lady with the dog?" "where are the chickens and the pigs?" "daddy running at work?" (Brett was at track practice.) Anyway - about two minutes into the walk he asked about going home and I explained we'd just left and said "hold your horses, cowboy!" He then proceeded to sing "Cowboy, Cowboy, Lemon Drop" to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - all the way through. I have ZERO idea where "lemon drop" came from.

Milk drunk

Try getting anything else done all day with this little one to cuddle with.

Nap time!

Building a super-tall tower

Which Grady calls a "snake" for some reason. "Snake faaal down!"

Dr. Mike Mulligan

Today, Grady had an appt with his plastic surgeon - Dr. Mulliken. He combined his name with mike mulligan the steam shovel driver (http://www.amazon.com/Mike-Mulligan-His-Steam-Shovel/dp/0395169615) and was very excited all day to see "dr. mike mulligan."

This kid is hilarious

Today Grady called this kid in a book Uncle Marvin. Which is sweet but hilarious, given he looks nothing like uncle Marvin...
