In the Doghouse!

I am so happy to see that Bob and Co. will be back in our lives! (In case you don't have a two year old boy, that's Scoop, Bob the Builder's trusty backhoe).

Guess who loves the sandbox!

Ryan was in charge of making the corn muffins. I think the tatoo is a nice touch!

At this point, and I say that with my heart filled with hope for the future, Ryan and Erik are sleep opposites. Ryan falls asleep in about 2-3 min. every night and sleeps like a rock. I walked in last night to check on him and found him like this. He never woke as I put him back in bed. Erik wakes so easily. He is his father's child!

Today I taught Ryan how to play checkers. I figure I have about a year until he can beat me. He thinks like his dad, which means I will be losing a lot of games in the future.

The highlight of our day was making a new house for Hanna and Sunny. Ryan painted the box and made them a little bed. They seem quite happy, although I think Hanna might be getting a little jealous of all the attention our new Sunny is getting. Could there be a lesson learned? I might be using that tomorrow. Today Ryan told me that he likes Seo Jin, but he just doesn't want to share Mommy. It's been a little harder for him than I had expected. Maybe Hanna can relate!

I took Erik to the eye doctor this week. His doctor was concerned he could have a lazy eye. Between the two of us, it was the ninth trip to a doctor's office since he came home. She gave him an A+ and said he passed 100%. He has to be rechecked in 3 months but she has no concerns. I took Ryan in for the same thing. It's very common with Asian kids to have that appearance. I better go get some laundry done!
