Jojo’s Snow Day

Yesterday Jojo was able to enjoy a snow day for the first time. He LOVED the snow!

He really enjoyed watching Dada blow the snow  with the “loader” and the “bulldozer”:

Here’s what was seen around our house this week:

Overheard around our house this week:

“My God, in Him will I trust.” Very sweet!

Jojo has been Mr Manners this week. When the mailman brought a package, Jojo went to the door and said “Thank-oon Mailman! Thank-oon!"

Later that day Mommy’s new stove was delivered and Jojo said “Thank-oon nice man! Bye-bye nice man!”

We had a nice week and enjoyed having Dada home for a long weekend.

 

We feasted at Uncle Wayne and Aunt Darlene’s house for Thanksgiving. Jojo had fun playing with Great Grandma Theora’s dog, Minnie.

This week started off with JR moving to a big boy car seat:

He is very happy about this new arrangement.

We also got to visit with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Hamilton while they were in town.

Jojo learned why razors are no-no’s and that hockey tape makes everything better:

 

Watching hockey with hockey tape on is the best.

Jojo’s last baby tooth come in this week.

Precious moment of the week:

JR was laying on the floor crying and before I could get to him Jojo went over, gently rubbed his back, and said “You’re OK Baby, you’re OK.”

Saturday Summary 11.10.2012

This week has been a fun week around our home. The boys are really starting to seem like brothers.

Once, JR had inch-wormed all the way across the kitchen floor to get the bus, only to have Jojo jump in and bat it away at the last second. It’s hard to be the baby brother

Another time they were both laying on the floor and Jojo was “reading” to him – very cute.

Today, Jojo took Bobo (his name for baby brother) for “a walk”:

Jojo's Genesis 1:1

Jojo is learning his first memory verse this week - Genesis 1:1.

He has the first part down fine, but the second part is always interesting. Just now he said:

In the beginning God created.... (thinking)

         ...Alligators.
         ...and bears.
         ...and Grandpa Bob :-)

 

 This boy cracks me up!

Repost: Jojo Singing

That's "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty" for those of you not fluent in Toddler.

Two-year-old Theology

Jojo ate a mango for snack today.
After he finished it he wanted the peel.

Me: No, Jojo, we don't eat the peel.
Jojo thinks for a minute. "God made the peel" he says, looking quite serious.
Me: Yes, God made the peel - but you still can't eat it.

I just love these moments when I realize he is beginning to really understand what I've been teaching him.

Look Who Is Two

Here are a few things I want to remember about Jojo right now:

His favorite song is “Holy, Holy, Holy” and he loves to sing the Amen at the end.

-He loves anything Elmo, Thomas, or Bob the Builder.

-Going for “walkawas” in the stroller. He favorite walking destination is the “waddy.” ( the fountain at Trillium Park)

-Reading. He loves, loves, loves books.

-Mowing the “yawn" with his new Bubble Mower.

-His love for animals



-His best friend is Mia and he loves to “Mia see-ya” (go see Mia)

-I love hearing him answer his first catechism question with “God made me.”

-Hearing him sing “A,B,C,D,E, I, K, 9, 10….Amen!”

-Hockey cheers at the dinner table:

 

-He loves his “Bobo”
