The Balloon

Chloe brought home a balloon from school and Knox was very excited about it. Here is a video of him playing with it.  I was scared he would pop it, but instead he just put a tiny hole in it and it slowly deflated. He also kept trying to throw it down the stairs for me to retrieve.  Apparently it is funny to make mom do something over and over again! It is amazing how something so simple can be so entertaining!

Below Knox is modeling a new outfit his dad sent him.  Very cute, a little baggy, but I am sure he will be outgrowing it very soon.

If you look closely at the bottom of the window you can see two cars behind the curtain.  Knox loves playing on this ledge.  He placed the cars behind the curtain and told me they were,"sleepy. Night, night." Then he ran off to play and came back later to get them with an enthusiastic,"Morning!!"

Life In Moab

Knox's favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. I was able to catch him signing it for me. However, he was not willing to sit still and kept trying to get as close the camera as possible.  The first part of the video below is of him running circles and trying to get me to play a game with him. He says, "Mamma's gonna get you."  When we play this game he will run from me giggling then turn and jump into my arms for tickles! I kind of think the running in circles is some sort of dance, because if I put on music it is part of his routine.  I was also trying to get him to count for the camera.  When he counts he says," One, two, three, five, chickee!" It is very cute, but hard to catch because as soon as he realizes he's being filmed he has to ham it up for the camera! 

This next video is of him with two of his cousins, trying to join in on the Wii dancing game.  I love how Micah gets into it! He has some moves! Knox loves playing with his cousins and it is fun to see him light up when he is with them.  

While I am waiting on a job, I figured this is a good time to get Knox used to his new daycare/babysitter.  Well, and to also get me used to it.  The first day I took him over for a couple hours and he ran in the door yelling,"Hi!" and immediately started playing. He didn't even blink an eye when I left and said,"Bye, bye car!" as I drove away.  He has been having such a good time there and it is sometimes hard to get him to leave.  There is a two year old girl he loves playing with and some other family friends children there too.  Angie is the name of the lady who runs the daycare out of her home and she is who my cousin took her daughter to for four years. Chloe still goes to Angie's sometimes to just hang out with her children and Angie comes to family events still also.  It has been a blessing that she has had an opening and that I know I can take Knox to someone I can trust. Plus, I believe the stability and routine is very beneficial for him right now.  He is such a little social bug and it is fun to see him learning to play with others.  This experience should hopefully make preschool and then regular school much easier for him to adjust to.
