brocker and the animals continued....

brocker and his love of stuffed animals and elmo

Tonight while making dinner I started hearing Brocker jumping up and down on something. Background - the last few weeks Brock has started being attached to Elmo and his stuffed animals. Every morning when he gets up he has to have all of the stuffed animals (ie. piggy, tigger, small tigger, baby elmo, big (as big as Brock) Elmo, teddy bear #1, and teddy bear #2) as well as all of his blankets (at least 4 of them) out of his crib before he will even think of getting out! He tries to eat with his blanket (doesn't really matter which one) and will give me hugs only when I give Elmo hugs 1st (a jealousy thing?) In any case, as the pictures clearly document there is a love/wrestle relationship there. By the way, once Brock saw Vaughn's bike in the sun porch Elmo and Piggy were history. You can see he opened up the door by himself and tried to climb on. Yikes!

Vaughn and his daredevil brother

Well, Brocker is sure fearless. Vaughn is really excited about riding his bike this spring. It seems like the best place to ride it on a flat surface is our deck. After Brock saw Vaughn ride it and turn! for a while he decided it was time to climb on. As the pictures show it was hard for Brocker to find the petals and to get off the big boy bike.

French Toast Muffins!

Brocker is addicted to french toast muffins at Caribou Coffee. It is kind of my fault....I get coffee every morning and have given into the "fast breakfast" in the morning. It doesn't do my car any favors! This Sunday, I wanted to get the Sunday paper and the only place to go without getting out of the car is Caribou, so of course I had to get the muffin. If I don't get it in the morning and drive past Brock cries. When we are in the drivethru line he yells at the cars to "go go" if we have to wait. He has now started to clap his hands too. Vaughn get the top of the muffin and Brocker get the bottom (I thought the bottom might be less messy?)

Vaughn has a name badge just in case he forgets

Last weekend, Dan and Val watched the boys overnight (which was awesome and a big treat to sleep in!) When I went to pick them up on Sunday, they had name badges on. They were funny and Vaughn refused to take it off even when we went to get breakfast! Dan gave them nicknames (I think they could use them in their future as WWE wrestlers!) Vaughn was "Vaughn the prawn" and I think Brock was "Brock the Rock - maybe" I can't remember that one. Here are some pictures :)

Cupcake icecream cones yum
