New Clothes from Great Grandma

Great Grandma sent Patrick some clothes she made up for him.  They fit him pretty well, and proved to be wonderful to help layer him when going outside to play in the snow.  Which we have done, a lot.

More Painting

We picked up a small ornament set for Patrick to paint. He was very serious about doing it.  We have also been finger painting a couple evenings each week currently.  Patrick has been loving it and ends each finger painting by painting himself before bath time.

Going for more green.

Very serious painting.

Swirls, squiggles, and hand prints.

I did it! (Right after putting the hand prints on his chest).

I need more blue.

Putting up the Christmas Tree

Dad had a little helper this year when putting up the Christmas tree.  Patrick was right in the middle of everything. 

Look what I found Mom!

Now where does it go...

Gotta get more stuff.

TA-DA!

Thanksgiving at the "Farm"

We spent Thanksgiving weekend at Grandpa and Grandma Sorrels's house.  Patrick played hard all day, everyday.

Playing with Legos

Dad pulled out his winter holiday Legos the other evening to start setting them up.  Patrick had a good time playing with the figures and cars without destroying them to much, and letting Dad know when something did come apart.

Discovery Room!

The Discovery Room is great for kids.  They can touch a wide variety of things, play with toys, watch fish, turtles, frogs, and salamanders, and even play in the dirt. We were lucky and were in the Discovery Room during feeding time for the live animals.
