choo choo!

Caden turned 19 weeks old on Monday December 3rd, and the boys were particularly silly. Zane really likes to make trains, so while we were hanging out in the kitchen with Caden in his bouncy seat one day, Zane decided to make sure Caden was on board too and built the train out from Caden's seat (at one point I had a seat too!) :) I was also playing with their maraca, and Caden thought it was hilarious.



One morning that week when we were heading out to school, there was a cherry picker truck in the parking lot behind the house because they are switching out all of the street lights to led bulbs... Thank goodness they were quick to move on to the next light, or I may not have ever gotten Zane in the car! The really crazy part is that the guy changing the bulbs rode in the bucket while they drove to each street light! ("What's that boy doing??? Is he vrooming?!?")

That week I was packing a lot and talking to Zane about the move and new house to try to get him ready since he doesn't have the best track record when it came to handling change... We packed up his many stuffed animals in a box - the giant box from our double stroller that we finally decided to get! Zane proceeded to talk about his animals in a box for the rest of the week, so we got to have the same conversation several times about putting the things we like in boxes (and keeping them in there!) so that they would go with us to the new house when the movers came.

He also was cracking me up whenever I had scissors out for tape because he was calling them "cutters" for a few weeks (he still calls them that). He also calls knives that sometimes too, unless he wants to spread something, and then he calls it a "spreader."

On Saturday our new washer and dryer were being delivered, so we took Molly with us to check out her new yard. Zane was trying to explain the yard to her :)



Zane was also thoroughly impressed with the delivery truck and the "boys" carrying the washer and dryer up the stairs with their special backpack style straps. Caden slept through most of it. :)
