Cereal parties. . .

I don't think Micah had lunch today. I tried to interest him in something. . . but I feel like both kids have been subsisting off a liquid diet lately. . . so I guess you could say Micah nursed for 45 minutes for lunch today. . . Amy is sick. I can tell because she is laying her car seat watching me type and not complaining about it. Very sad. And we got our first inch and a half of snow last night. Micah walked around in it for a while after he got up this morning. I suspect he will go out again when he gets up from his nap.
So. . . adventures in Micahland. . . On Saturday he went with his Dad to take cookies to our neighbor that we hadn't met yet. When they got there her big dog barked and scared them and he dropped the cookies. Upon arriving home he regaled me (and everyone he talked to for a few days) with retellings of "Oh, hahaha, cookies. . . . big dog. . . barked. . . fall down, HAHAHAHAHA, dog yum yum yum. . . . HAHAHAHAHA" His first version though was, "Cookies, whoopsies, HAHAHAHAHA". It's become increasingly difficult to get him to repeat the whoopsies part.
Micah feels that I put the cereal cupboard on his level so that he could just help himself ( and Amy) to it whenever the urge strikes. That was not actually my thinking, but we have healthy cereal. . . . whatever. . . Anyway, he gets a handful of cereal for Amy and puts it in front of her and then gets a handful for himself and they sit and eat cereal and sometimes Amy tries to eat his first and he says "No, Amy, that's yours. Not this, this is mine. THAT'S YOURS." Always the long pause between that's and yours.
I've realized he doesn't like her to bother his stuff, but he loves to show her stuff. . . "Look Amy, look! Like this. YOU try it.. . . "

Cereal party. . . .

Micah only cereal party. Amy isn't allowed to have this kind. Notice, his definitive toddler tastes have dictated that he have pepper on it. . . .

My big girl playing while Micah naps.

Micah napping. I love it when they sleep. : )

Amy drumming.

Another cereal party.

Micah and Amy help Daddy put together our new bookshelves.

I can always tell when Micah has had the camera.

And finally, this is Amy's preferred sleeping position while she isn't feeling good. She has been awake, nursed, had medicine and sat and watched me type between the taking of this picture and now, but she is again sleeping just like this in her seat. I think she would prefer to ride this way in the car, but I won't let her.
