Puppies and Sushi

Recently, some friends of ours had puppies! Well, that is to say their yellow labs Daisy and Cooper had puppies! Eight of them! The puppies were approaching 4 weeks of age on Saturday, so I thought I would take Keller over to play with them.
At first Keller was not crazy about the dogs, and refused to even hold one. But eventually he warmed up to them, and he even climbed in their kennel!



 He was very unsure of these little guys and girls as they started to come awake and move around. Somehow I managed to convince him to sit down and let them crawl on his lap.
 And he even gave them a kiss!
I wish I had more pics but didn't think about getting my camera out until it was too late.
On Saturday night, we decided to try out a new restaurant we had heard about, Asian Fusion (it was okay). Keller has never tried sushi before because we don't generally take him to Japanese restaurants since it takes about three hours to eat there! However, this place is different, kind of like Pei Wei, so he got to go this time. California Rolls are the only "sushi" I'll eat since it is actually cooked seafood, and I thought Keller would like to try it. He as quite fascinated by the chopsticks and tried to eat everything with them.

 Yes, he is trying the California Roll. What I didn't get was is face as he spit out the crab he had just tried. My camera doesn't work that fast! It was hysterical. Needless to say, sushi is not in Keller's future any time soon.

We have been snowed in since Monday night with Tuesday bringing more than a foot of snow to Oklahoma City. The temp isn't supposed to get above freezing until Saturday and the windchill is in the negatives! We are seriously getting cabin fever around here, and I can't wait until Saturday when  I can finally take Keller out to play (it is way to cold for him out there). On the bright side, school is canceled for probably the rest of the week so I get to spend some quality time with the kiddo.

Milestones:
Keller is now saying "bess shu" when he hears you sneeze.
"Welcome" when you say thank you
And he has decided he likes my Ghiradelli mint-filled dark chocolate squares (clearly a mature palate, haha), so now I can't eat those in front of him!
Everyday is a new word or phrase.
 This is truly my favorite age.

Terra Verde sings at Rivermont

I say it all the time, but I will say it again--we are SO HAPPY that we have found Terra Verde Discovery School for Keller to attend. This year has been amazing. We have gone from having a child who HATED going to school everyday the last two years to having a little boy who can't wait to get there in the morning.  His teacher, Ms. Lindsay Berryhill, is an amazing woman who has gotten Keller to tune in and love learning.  Among the wonderful things he has done in first grade this year, including learning Mandarin, having a lemonade stand to earn money to build an animal hospital for dramatic play, visiting The Orr Family Farm, having a manners lunch at Charlestons, and many more things, he also had the opportunity to sing Christmas carols with his 89 other school mates at Rivermont Retirement Home.  The seniors at the home were so entered by these children and we were truly impressed with how well they all behaved. The singing was excellent, but what was truly inspiring w...

It's been ENTIRELY too long!

Clearly Keller is distraught that it has been so long since my last posting. It has been almost two weeks since my last blog post. These last two weeks at school have been so busy that when I come home at night the last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Plus, working so much has not left me ample time to get good shots of Keller. When we're playing and he does something funny I never have the camera around. However, as a good change of pace I do have some good video taken from this weekend. My mom keeps Keller 2-3 days a week and for some reason she decided the boy does not have enough toys. As if...(haha, throwback to Clueless). So, she decided Keller needed to work on being the next Tiger Woods (before all the you know). Anyway, this is Keller with his very first set of golf clubs. At first glance, he seems like a natural... Doesn't it look like he hit the ball right into the cup and is now getting the ball out of his hole-in-one? We he did get it in the cup ...
