Sneaky

This morning it was a little too quiet as I cleaned up after breakfast. I went into our room to find Sawyer knocking down our collection of guitars.

With a little help (from Mama, no less), he opened up one of the cases, and in no time was jammin'...that sneaky little Jack Johnson, Jr!!! (I joke that his hair resembles Mr. Sexy Plexy himself).

Like Father, Like Son. What else can I say? We have a sneaky and smart little music-lover in our home! I love it!

PS- BIG thanks to Aunt Rachel for making the groovy outfit. It's adorable!

UNcivilized





When I was a nanny for two little boys long ago (the eldest is now driving!), I remember one cute conversation I had with the 3-year-old, concerning his baby brother. (A little background: this boy LOVED the movie "Pocahontas" and frequently marched around the house singing "savages, savages!") This particular little boy looked at his brother, who was covered in food, sitting in his high chair - smiling like he was having the time of his life. "Tysha - don't you think he is completely UNcivilized?!!" I had to smile.

Fast forward about 12 years: Sawyer now likes to try to feed himself. When the spoon isn't doing him justice, he just tosses it overboard. Dig in! Watching him the other day I had a flashback to the above memory. I just LOVE UNcivilized little squirts! Sticky yogurt, graham crackers and all!!!
