Lewis's longest sentence.
"Kick a ball high!" or, if he's looking at the picture from a few days ago of him kicking, "Lewis kick a balll high!"

"But when it was night the action really started!"
Lewis, Art and I went for a little walk after dinner and found the gaggle of kids that live on our block. Eight kids under the age of six who all ran around like maniacs together for a good hour and a half. Ben showed up later and took these photos. Here they all are climbing in and out and around one of the parent's truck. On the way home Art said, "Yeah, but when it was night the action really started! It was like a show!"
Bug Nature Day.
After naps I biked the kids down to the woods near Minnehaha Creek. We threw rocks in the water, watched stuff float downstream and eventually spent most of our time overturning logs and looking for bugs. We saw many centipedes, some rolly pollys (that's what we called them in Arkansas), spiders, ants, and some super tiny white bugs. It was fun to overturn logs and see what sort of goodies we'd find. We weren't sure if this spider was alive. Art covered his eyes and turned away as a prodded it with a leaf (it was alive). "I don't want to see the spider move," said Art. It was in fact a little scary. Lew holds a worm. Heading back through the words to our bike.
Playing at a new park.
Every once in a while it's fun to take the kids to a new park. We stopped by here after visiting Seward Montessori School for a tour this morning (we're thinking of sending Art eventually).

This is the new screen on Jessica cell phone after Lew dropped it. It still works, but don't text her...
And here's some more about TWO.
Lewis is TWO! And he had his check-up on Friday. He is 3' 1" tall. He weighs 32lbs 12oz. He's big for his age - 96th percentile - but growing in height and weight evenly so that's good. And no developmental issues or delays. Art brought Bear, his own special bear, for Lewis to hold if he got scared. Art likes to go to Lewis's doctor appointments and be the caring, older brother. After Lewis got his shots and was crying Art quickly snuck Bear under my arm while I was holding Lewis so he could hold Bear and feel better. Art was eager to get on the scale so Lewis wouldn't be scared. And it worked. Lew went right up there after Art did. He played "sneak around" with Lewis while we waited for the flobotomist to come and take a little of Lew's blood. Yep. A little finger prick. And Lewis didn't even flinch! He pulled his hand away a little but he was incredibly cooperative. Then he didn't want to wear the band-aid. When he final...
