Joe Loves Hats

Well, I've blogged about Elijah and Regan, so now it is Josiah's turn! Baby Joe loves hats! Actually, he likes anything that is supposed to be worn on your head, such as sunglasses or headbands, and hats. I say "supposed" to be worn on your head, because Joe tries to wear lots of things on his head. All sorts of clothing can be seen on his head from time to time!

"Hat" is one of Joe's few words. He not only says the word, but signs it as well. Yup, the boy can spot a hat a mile away, and has been known to repeat "at, at, at" throughout an entire trip to the grocery store. In this picture, Bryan was ready to work out in the yard, when Josiah stopped him for a little TLC, and some "hat bonding".

Eli Lost A Tooth

Tonight was a BIG night in the Hall house! Eli lost his first tooth!! After a few weeks of wiggling, it finally came loose. He was very excited, as you can imagine. Thankfully, Bryan and I convinced him that he did not need to brush the tooth, (only the ones still in your mouth need that kind of attention, son). I explained to him that I tried to brush my first tooth, and that sadly it fell down the drain. Considering how emotional Eli is, I did NOT want to experience such drama tonight!

Shorty after we had the conversation about whether or not he should brush, he asked if the Tooth Fairy needed to be telephoned so as to be made aware of his "loss". I have to admit, every time he starts asking detailed questions about the goings on of the Tooth Fairy, Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc. I begin to feel a little guilty about my white lies. Nonetheless, I quickly informed him that the Tooth Fairy knows about "lost" teeth, without a phone call. Thankfully, the conversation was laid to rest without further questions.

Regan's First Day of Preschool

Regan started preschool on Monday! She was so excited to wear one of her new outfits, (thank you, Gran!), and use her new lunchbox. Her first-day-of-school homework was to create a self "portrait". We got creative and used brown ribbon to make hair. The project was a lot of fun and got everyone excited about her big day.

This year, her class has nine girls and one boy. Poor Miss Theresa! That's a lot of pink and a lot of opinions! Hopefully, Austin, (the boy of the class), is strong enough to stand his ground and not let the girls peck him to death. Each year is filled with interesting memories... this one will be no different, I'm sure!
