Wow, January already? This whole house-buying (or not) and house-selling (or not) is sure taking a lot of time. Anyway, Alex is home sick (had a fever yesterday, but just fine today) and happily planted in front of the TV. Not my choice, exactly, but he woke up saying "DVD", ate a little breakfast, and then ran into the family room and turned on the TV and DVD player all by himself (thanks a lot, Michele!).
Back in October, here he is sitting in my chair (w/Mommy). Left unattended, he will grab anything he can reach. Can't put his own socks on yet, but he's happy to help others.
One of those weekends, we took a trip to the Illinois Railway Museum. He loved riding on the electric rail car (an early Chicago 'L' train, IIRC). By the time we left, he was exhausted.
That weekend was also the Lake Zurich Fire Department open house. He did NOT want to sit in the engine (but I was determined to get the picture!). When we got to the ambulance, he quit screaming but just hugged me tightly. By the third vehicle, he was happy to look in. Inside, Sparky the fire dog was driving around talking with the children. For lunch, a rare treat -- a hot dog! They let him hold the fire hose, too.
Back home, Jasmine explored the ball pit before all the kids convened around the table (w/Elvie & Mike supervising).
The next weekend, Uncle Michael passed through town. We took him pumpkin shopping. Alex found a chair that was just right for him, had a sub for lunch, and went home to unload the pumpkins (err, drag them around the yard). He was happy to be outside, driving his car around the yard.
