Things at the England Homestead have been pretty busy lately. Here's a little rundown of what's been going on: Rock is still practicing his picture posing. He likes the attention of getting his photo taken.
Grappy Dale came down to visit (and if you ask Grammy Rae that's all he wants to do lately...but we're cool with it). Rock decided to bake some sugardoodles, and he even let Mommy help.
Grappy drove all the way down here to make sure that Rock had the remote control wheel for his sweet possessed car. Rock likes the car a whole lot more now, and he doesn't even act like it's possessed.
Grappy also brought lots of Valentine's Day goodies, like strawberry Whoppers and chocolates. Rock decided that V-Day isn't a totally
terrible holiday after all.
Grappy also brought Froot Loops. They are just like the Cheerios that we give him, only they are 'yummy'.
Rock tried to blog about Grappy's visit, but China kept censoring his blog posts.
Rock wanted to go to the park to throw the football around...as long as he got to wear his Mickey hat and Velcro dress shoes. So, yeah...we're still in that stage.
Um...did I say Velcro dress shoes? Those are actually looking better all the time.
This past week I was up in Salem taking Board reviews and then the Oregon Board Exams. It was a stressful week, so Rock felt that he had earned a massage. Yeah, that seems about right.
Rock is definitely a Renaissance man, and among his many talents is playing the piano. He is really good at tickling the ivories and putting on a show.
He is certainly a showman.
"Ta Da!"
The little guy knows when it is time to go home for the night, but he likes staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house. His new trick is to try and pretend that he's sleeping, so that he can stay the night. It hasn't worked yet, but I have a feeling that it will soon.
After fussing, crying and bargaining, he finally come to grips with the fact that he has to go to bed in his own crib. He decides that he's fine with that, as long as he gets to wear his whole pj outfit. Stunning.

I'll say he is a showman and stunning! He is a blast and will soon be the bestest big brother anyone could want. Any guy that can wear a pink thong can take on all comers!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing that big boy and the little one. Thanks for lots of pictures.
ReplyDeleteDad...gross...I thought we already went over that they are called FLIP FLOPS!
