New York State of Mind

Hey New York... are you ready for me?

Meet up with friends

This morning, after music class, we went to Emerald City to meet up with some friends from my mom's group. Chris was very excited to see Emily and Connor, who he had just played with last night. Olivia and Elliot were there too and the three big kids just went off to play by themselves which was fabulous for us! Here are some pics from the morning...

Company

Tonight we had the LaBarge family over for dinner. They are currently without a place to eat as they are having a total kitchen remodel so we invited them over to eat with us. Emily, Connor and Christopher had a great time together, as these post-dinner antics will show...

Thankful

At breakfast this morning, the discussion was about things we are thankful for...

CJ: Mommy, you know what I'm thankful for? I'm thankful for looooovvvve. And I'm thankful for you. Mommy, I love you...

Of course at this point, I am melting.

CJ: And Mommy, I'm thankful for blackberries and my big boy bed too.

Random boy!

Little Yogi

After lunch, Christopher declared that he wanted to do a workout. Because it was getting close to naptime, I didn't think his usual circuit training would be appropriate so we put on a relaxing yoga DVD for him. He and Daddy got straight to work on their mountain poses and standing forward bends...

As you can see, Chris chose to increase the difficulty level by doing his practice on a block. What was most amazing to us, however, was when he had to do tree pose (not one of Daddy's favorite poses). It is a pose where you have to stand on one leg, put one foot up like a kind of triangle on the inside of your standing thigh and then place your hands in prayer position. Christopher totally nailed it! And he did it on the block too. It was so funny to see how proud he was of himself.

Perhaps yoga is in our little man's future. I suppose it's better than football... definitely fewer concussions!

Flurp!

Christopher had a sleepover at Grammy's house last night while Mommy and Daddy went out with some friends. Apparently, he had an awesome time not only playing with Grammy, but also playing with her Flurp Silly Putty. She told us today that he played with it for hours and only stopped when it was time for bath last night and time to go home this morning. I think I know what we're bringing on the airplane with us next week!
