E-I-E-I-O

I recently taught Hyrum the song "Old MacDonald had a Farm" and he absolutely LOVES it. His favorite time to sing it is while he takes a bath. He looks at me and says "Mommy, E-I-E-I-O?" Then he tells me which animal he wants to sing about and we sing it together. This past week poor old MacDonald had quite the interesting farm. On that farm he had a hippo, giraffe, snake, penguin, cow, Miles, and yes, even a potato. E-I-E-I-O!

Tourney Time

We really enjoy March Madness at our house. Every year Dan and I fill out our brackets and keep an eye on the games. This year both Hyrum and Miles got in on the action. Miles filled out his bracket in a highly scientific way. Dan read the names of two teams while I held two marshmallows in front of Miles. Miles chose a marshmallow, and the corresponding team moved on in the tournament. We did the same thing last year for Hyrum, but this year we found a different way for Hyrum to make his picks. He chose the teams based on mascots and logos--which is probably why he has the Florida Gators taking the whole thing! Here's a little video of Hyrum filling out his bracket. If you listen close you can hear him say "This one!"




Miles is looking more and more like an older brother lately. He's growing up a lot and showing us more and more of his fun little personality. Here's a clip of his latest trick. Yes, he FINALLY decided walking is a good thing.
