Sticks and more sticks

It seems I'm always writing funny little stories about Andrew. I guess that's because he's talking now. So this post is dedicated to Eric, the lover of sticks, swords, and anything long.



It's true...Eric loves anything long. He goes into the laundry room and wrestles down the big broom or mop, then he drags it all over the house. Going Whack! Whack! as he crawls along.

One of his favorite long things is a retractable sword. More than once we've had to take it to the store. We even took it out to eat once...Eric sat in the high chair holding tightly to the sword, eating one handed (not usual for this boy who typically uses both hands to eat as quickly as possible.)

So here he is with a snow shovel. Andrew and I were shoveling the snow (yes, shoveling in March. Ugh.) Eric was perfectly content, as long as he could hold a shovel too.

  3. This is your old Stadium Terrace roommate. I'm getting addicted to your blog Carol. Reading it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with you. Your sense of humor is just plain rad. And it looks like you've got yourself a couple of cute boys. I'm just waiting to read a classic Carol poem about them.

  4. I've witnessed Eric's obsession first hand in Primary while he makes for the music stand. It's a constant battle of wits between Eric and mom during singing time!
