Claustrophobia and Milestones...

Lately it seems like I often find Elliot in the dryer, with the door shut.  I would be so beyond claustrophobic in there it isn't even funny.  But he really seems to like it!!  (Kind of scary, I know)

Grace reached another milestone in her little life...she learned to tie her shoes!!  We got a book, which didn't help a whole lot, but the one thing that did help was the shoelaces in the book that were different colors on each end.  That really did it for her.  So I took some extra shoelaces that came with her shoes, cut them in half, tied them together and put them in her shoes.  Now she is a pro!!  She was so excited that she called dad, grandma and grandpa.  She said, "Did you know that I can tie my shoes all by myself now?".  She was very proud of herself.

I just put this pic of Maggie in here because she is so cute!!

How funny that Elliot like to hang out in the dryer! Kids are so funny.

And congrats to Grace on the shoe-tying! That IS a big milestone in her little life. And yep, Maggie is SO cute!!!
