Toys

The older one has decided the younger one "likes" toys. What do you think?

The view from here

Two months old!

Full moon

P-roc: "They SAY the moon is made of green cheese. That's because when you make cheese, one of the things that comes out is wane. And that's what the moon does, it wanes." Dad: "Um, I think you're confusing two different things, but that's pretty close." P-roc (who always gnashes his teeth when he's frustrated): "No, no, I'm true, that's what it is! Aarrghghgh!" (He means "whey", of course, and he's right, it's a by-product of cheese-making. That's the kind of all-important knowledge you pass on to your kid when you read the entire Little House on the Prairie series to them before they're 6.)

Big brother

P-roc has been adjusting surprisingly well to being a big brother. He especially loves helping out by trying to calm the baby down when he's fussing. He's getting pretty good at it too (it helps that this kiddo takes a pacifier, unlike his older brother...)

Things you might find lying around the house if you have a kindergartener

The thing about learning to read and write in kindergarten is that it makes you want to show off your skilz. So P-roc has been writing lists and cards and name tags and leaving them all over the apartment. And now he's apparently written a book:

"Christmas Eve"

"The Elf" (Yes, we have one of Those. It's very useful)

"Christmas Tree"

"Opening the Presents" And then there are other random things that you might find around the house that make you worry...

That says "criminal", for those of you who might be wondering. As to who the criminal is, or why this tag was stuck to a sheet of Christmas stickers, well, we just don't know. When questioned, the crimnol mastermind just cackled maniacally.
