Easy Rider

Raleigh at our new park today.

Two hours later...

Snowman

We had a beautiful Christmas Eve -- sunny, 70 degrees and a snowman at HEB!

New Park

We have been enjoying our new park. The parents today were very impressed that Raleigh can hang from the bars like a monkey.





He sure climbs like a monkey...

Cascabel

Raleigh's class sang Cascabel in the school Christmas program today.

Pool Net

We can walk on water now. ;)

We Moved!

As of this weekend, we are officially moved into the new house. Raleigh was a big help!













Raleigh seems to have adjusted to the new house very well. We tried to involve Raleigh in the move (he even helped pack his toys and rode in the car with them to the new house). So maybe that has paid off.

Christmas Came Early

Mom and Dad bought a new house today. Of course, the first thing we did was change our address at the North Pole. And we can't believe what happened next! Santa just happened to be making a shakedown run in his sleigh, so he came to our house and brought Raleigh a train.






We're not sure Raleigh even noticed the house.

Discipline

Raleigh's new game is hitting us and then saying "I'm sorry Mommy/Daddy". We tried to explain the apology doesn't seem sincere if he deliberately does the thing he has to apologize for again and again. We'll see if we got through to him.

He's also been throwing things (at us). So this afternoon, we started telling him that we don't throw ____, we throw balls. Then he threw his cup during dinner. We told him we don't throw cups. Right we when thought Raleigh is too young and we were choosing a battle we were destined to lose, Raleigh said "I throw balls!". We were shocked! Poor Raleigh have himself away. Now we're definitely holding him to it!

Then Raleigh threw some pizza. "We don't throw pizza, Raleigh. What can we throw?".

Raleigh: "Pizza!"

"No."

Raleigh: "Uhhh. Plates!"

Now it is a game! :)
