My mother-in-law is in town. Besides getting us fabulous cooking accoutrements (yay for a new mixer!) she took Xander to a toy store. What was his favorite purchase, the thing he had to have immediately? A small push broom. Why, you ask? Because in one of his favorite Mr. Rogers episodes, Mr. Rogers interviews the cast of Stomp, and they make music with brooms (see clip). So what have we been doing at home all night? Stomping with brooms. I was impressed though, he did remember a couple of the rhythms.
Here are some random pictures from the last week:
Xander was doing something fascinating to the side of the frame (I think eating cherries), hence Ari's distracted look.
Close-up of the shirt. He's waving at the camera. :)
Xander and his fire truck hat that he made at school. Sunglasses courtesy of my sister.
Sans sunglasses, with smile.
SO excited it's morning!!

The pix of the boys are beyond precious. And the hat Xander made is perfect! Oy, what a smile that kid has! Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing your blog!
I cracked up when I read which toy Xander picked. Music! He wanted to make music! He wasn't impressed with all the colors and the gizmos and the flash. Give him a good solid broom with which to create. Good for him! And good for you for not having a TV to poison his and Ari's minds with all that garbage and advertising.
Keep up the great work.
Love,
Mom
