razzle dazzle


every evening, just as we're finishing dinner, oliver declares, "okay, i'm ready for bed now." so off he goes. josh or i take him in, he says his prayer, gets his tickles and songs, and he's asleep in five seconds.


coming up in ollie's life:
-learning to use the potty.
-getting rid of the nighttime pacifier.

robin, you know i love you. i knew you were leaving blogland before you even mentioned your parents and i was okay with that. jan told me it would be alright. we talk.

i also love mr. oliver's boots. i did some ladle of love research, and he was wearing these in many a picture. good luck with potty training. i support your philosophy of waiting till they're good and ready. look at him - he looks ready.

Dang--Oliver totally stole my outfit. I was going to wear THAT today! :)

Happy for you that you have a little one who goes to sleep willingly. Whew! One less battle to fight every day! :)

Sure loved being with all of you. I know firsthand that Ollie is totally attached to those boots. When you potty train him, be sure that he has them on!!! Things will go better.

Love Dad

strangly, this picture reminds me of corrina singing the canadian national anthem in front of the shanty in her hot pants.

maybe just the high-thigh part:)

she wasn't wearing a diaper.
