Learning his letters

Austin had fun playing with his Handwriting without tears wood pieces.

Robin's Nest

About a month ago I discovered a robin's nest around the side of our house under Abby's bedroom window in the Rhododendron bush. It is quite low so I am surprise that she built it there. I quickly went inside to see if I could see inside the nest from Abby's window, and discovered that there were least 2 eggs. We were so excited. About 2 weeks ago they hatched and we discovered there were 3, oh they were so tiny and ugly. We have had the joy of watching them grow and mama bird feeding them, it has been a great experience. I have taken some pictures, but have yet been able to capture on with mama bird feeding them.

Newly hatched and quite ugly!

Waiting for their breakfast. They about a week old here.

Peacefully sleeping! This was taken a couple of days ago.

Mama Bird

Missing a tooth

Mom: Oh finally your tooth came out. How did you loose your tooth?

Steven: Well, I was chewing on a piece of gum and I stuck it to a thumb tack in the wall and when I bit down on the tack my tooth came out.

Mom: (shaking my head and laughing) Really, where is your tooth now?

Steven: I don't know I couldn't fine it.

Mind you this is all when he was suppose to be in bed. I just had to shake my head. We still haven't found his tooth, which he is a little upset because he doesn't think the tooth fairy will come now. I guess, by all means she shouldn't since he was being naughty and not in bed! However, I don't think she is that mean. Hahahaha!

Austin's Silly Dance "Nobody's perfect"

The kids were playing around one day being silly and making up dances to "Hannah Montana". Austin was just hilarious.

Lego building

Austin has just recently started making his own creations with legos, so it was nice to get some sets from his birthday with direction he could follow. One night he wanted to put one together so I sat down with him and showed him how to read the instructions and he basically did the rest. He would ask me occasionally for help if he couldn't figure it out. This particular one has lots of moving pieces.
