Jumping Cousins

We had lots of fun the week after Christmas when our cousins were in town.  Malachi and Alex are the best little friends!  I was amused at this series of pictures of them together, alike as two little peas in a pod (right down to the stuck-out tongues).

My other favorite picture: Daisy adoring Andy

Things Ky says

This four-year-old just keeps saying cute things.  Some recent gems:

Calling highlighters "Delight Markers"

(Smacking himself in the forehead while reading his Bird Book): "Ohhhh!  I forGOT about the Painted Bunting!"

(Recounting an earlier conversation with Daisy): "First we started talking about coliseums, and then we went straight on to cranes!"

"Because my tummy hurts, I think I'm just attracted to drinks right now!"

Everyone loves him.  We just can't help it!

Velvet

Seb has always been a Monkey Man, as you know, but in his school class this year he has a pet bunny named Velvet.  (Seb's teacher reminds her class that Velvet has very sensitive ears and that things that are loud to us are extra loud to a bunny.  If the class is too loud, Velvet can't come out and hop around the class.)  Sebastian LOVES Velvet.  When he comes home from school he tells me all about what Velvet did that day, he plays Bunny, he builds bunny cages with his blocks, he hops around the house and nibbles things, etc.  It's really so cute!

We got him some little toy bunnies for Christmas, which he loves, but best of all is:

His own little "pet" Velvet (puppet)!  I love to see Sebby stroking him and snuggling with him and hopping him around the house.  So sweet!
