Our Little Pumpkins

We got Asher and Elvis all dressed up to go to the Pumpkin Walk. We got a few awesome pictures before we went but then Asher sprayed his outfit before we were able to take them both as pumpkins. Sad day!

Ash loved the contrasting colors of orange and black!

Aren't they so cute? 

My baby pumpkin.

Go Aggies!

 I look so smart with glasses. 

My hair's the right color. How do I look as Snow White? 

Grumpy Ol' Bear.

Peek A Boo

Asher made his own version of peek-a-boo with his burp cloths. He covers his face and as he takes the cloth down shows his surprise.

Ready for Take Off!

Brothers

Asher and Elvis get along pretty well, just like brothers you could say. We put them on the floor together and it's surprising how similar their positions are. 

 Would have cropped my craft project out of the picture but then you can see their positioning as well. 

This one's Jeron's favorite. The boys scooted toward each other. Asher moved first, then Elvis used the couch by his feet to get up closer to Asher.

Happy Go Lucky

I have the happiest little boy! It's truly wonderful and I am so very lucky. The problem is that most times getting a picture of that gorgeous smile is almost impossible  He always gets distracted by the black box in front of your face or the flash from the camera and that wonderful smile disappears and a look of puzzlement appears. These pictures show of that beautiful smile. Please ignore the mess in the background. :)

So precious!

Though he's not quite sure what to think of the dog. 

5 little ducks

Today I was singing the 5 little duck song to Asher, I like most children songs a lot because they can teach some really important concepts. This one for example when paired with actions can teach concepts like over, far away, ducks say quack and teach basic math skills of counting backwards and subtraction. Jeron doesn't like kids songs cuz they get stuck in his head but when you have a large repertoire of them they're not so bad. For those of you who haven't heard the song this is my version of it.

5 little ducks went out one day,
Over the hills and far away.
When the Mommy duck went
Quack, quack, quack
4 little ducks came waddling back.
(continue song repeating versus until only one duck comes back)

As I was singing I got interrupted halfway through with Jeron saying "This is a really sad song."
"You've never heard this song before?" I asked. "No, it's a really sad song though. Don't you think?" he responded. I had never thought of it before but without the ending it really is kinda scary. I struggled through laughter to sing the rest of my song so Jeron could hear the ending.

(after 'no little ducks come waddling back')
but then the Mommy and the Daddy duck said
Quack, Quack, QUACK
5 little ducks came waddling back.

Who knew you could learn so much from a children's song. I didn't. After this indecent I made sure to talk to Asher about kidnappings, after all he is a really cute little boy. I told him that even though everything worked out great in this story sometimes if you go too far away where Mommy and Daddy can't see or hear you, you won't be able to come back. So make sure that we can always see you.

Hopefully teaching him early will help in the future.
