Despite that, or I guess because of that, we've had a lot of time to snuggle together at home, and I guess inhale each other's sicknesses. Regardless, here's what we've been up to:
Gavi is still cute as ever. So is Brad:
This is a 4 minute video of Gavi eating yogurt. Some of you will scoff, and others will watch the whole thing. Enjoy:
Leo and his friends at school have been learning about Kindness. They are doing kind things for each other at school and at home, and when they do, they get a marble to fill the class's jar. When they fill the jar, they get a party! Leo is a very caring, helpful guy to begin with, but now he's being extra sweet. He has been cleaning off the table after meals, he picks up things when Gavi drops them, he helps put groceries away - he has been very helpful and kind!
Gavi was sick on Wednesday and Thursday so she stayed home from school and deserved extra snuggles. She chose to spend that time playing with her favorite toy - tissues! Honestly, she loves tissues (sometimes clean, usually used...i know, i know), and the bottle of tushie cream. Those are her go-to toys.
Gavi is 11 months old! She has 3 teeth (and knows how to use them), and still has blue eyes! She is standing and has taken some steps at the walker, but hasn't shown interest in standing on her own yet.
And now, for Hanukkah Gavi was out of school yesterday for her post-fever day at home, but we came in and the school Director snuck her into the performance. There she is, in the middle stroller, in her blue Hanukkah shirt!
And here is a video of their class performance:
And here is Leo, Mr. Juah Maccabee. What do you say, does he look even more like Brad with his beard? He's on the far left, 4 kids from the end.
And here is a video of his class's performance, which was adorable:
After the performance, Leo wanted to wear Gavi's headband and my necklace. Look how nice he looks! Wearing it over his eyes was his choice, not mine:
And here is is, such a big kid. Each night he takes out his toothbrush, toothpaste, flosser and water cup and lines them up along the sink. He sure is systematic (just like another, bigger Stamm I know). He didn't want me to take a picture of him but he was just too handsome not to:
Ms. Diaper Hat getting ready for school this morning:
Buddy Breakfast x3! When Brad works from home, he and Leo have Buddy Breakfast. This morning, Gavi took part too! ...and by that, I mean she threw all of her cheerios on the floor. Please note the tissue box in the spot of honor on the table.
Happy winter, y'all!
