What's Your Favorite Kind of "Moogits"?

Clay has a new favorite movie; Moogits. Any guesses as to what it might be? It's the Sound of Music! Its still not as high on his list of favorites as Mary Poppins, after all, it's easier to remember Jane and Michael than Lisle, Fredrik, Louisa, Kurt, Brigita, Marta and Gretel. I guess that shows how often we've been watching it lately. I'm glad he likes these movies with lots of singing in them. Thadeus is starting to enjoy them too.

Thadeus is figuring this walking thing out. It seems like Wednesday morning he had the thought, "Oh, there's a reason to do this. I can actually get from here to there without crawling! Hu, I wonder who thought of this."

Thadeus is a very observant, and very independent, little boy. He watches everything, and you don't really even realize he's watching, but...he is. I caught him trying to draw something the other night. He had an etch-n-sketch type toy and was doing his best to hold the pencil the way he's seen everyone else holding pencils or pens. He get so frustrated b/c his hand is always in the way and then nothing comes of it. So he squeals and bounces to show his frustration, then he goes right back to work, trying over and over to get something out on the screen. Bless his little heart.
