In little boy news, John loves skating and after three outings this year has figured out how to push himself a little, rather than just walk across the ice. He will go hard for a full 30 minutes and come off the ice just drenched. It's pretty cute to see him zooming around with those little skating supports. He sat down with an honest-to-goodness novel today in church and read it for five minutes before he was hauled off to the kids' room. He corrects us if we miss a word now, which makes it a bit difficult for us to creatively shorten books when we need to speed things up.
Micah continues to pretend to shoot everything that moves. He loves to sing (favourites are The Transformers, Little Red Caboose, ABC, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing), make up stories (usually about shooting wild animals), and attack his mom. He told me today that I was interrupting him when I asked him a question about something that he was telling John. Oh yeah, and we're three days into potty training with moderate success. He does the best when he is wearing nothing at all, but that's a bit too much like Russian Roulette for his mom, so he doesn't get that opportunity much.
Have a great week. I'll leave you with the best story from the last week:
Me, noticing the toilet was used: John did you have a poo?
John: Yes.
Me: Did you wipe your bum?
John: Yes. Micah checked and told me it was still a bit dirty, so I wiped it again.

To answer your bird question...It's a Bohemian Waxwing.
Thanks! That's pretty cool. Now, did you know that already or did you just do what I was too lazy to do and look it up online?
