The Road Grader, Breakfast For All, and April Fools


Apparently I just need to drive around and find construction sites to provide free entertainment for the boys. We recently came out of a store to find some trucks hard at work nearby.  I think Everett could have watched and waved at this road grader (yes, I do mistakenly call it a digger in the video) all day long!  Anderson does a cute impression to start the video off.  


One morning a few days before his birthday, Anderson came downstairs and went straight into the kitchen without even coming to see Mommy or Daddy.  We heard him rustling around in there for awhile and it soon dawned on me that he was making himself his standard waffle breakfast.  Eventually, he did have to come and ask for some help opening the waffle packaging.  At that point, he informed us to NOT come into the kitchen until he came to get us.  Here's what we found when he let us enter.

 I am super impressed that he was able to get the gallon of milk down from the fridge and pour it into the two bowls without spilling a drop. 
This is certainly something he's never done before, even with our assistance!


Anderson also saw an episode of Caillou (he actually doesn't watch that show very often at all, but obviously it sticks with him!) that was about April Fools Day.  Anderson thought this concept was hilarious and informed me that when the day came, he wanted to play "nice tricks" on Daddy.  So, I helped him out a bit that day.  Here's one of the better ones we 'got' Daddy on.  As a side note- Anderson called the day "Happy Fools Day" (and still does even though we've corrected him many times) which is really cute.
