More Drewisms

Drew's newest interest is the Hokey Pokey. He really has it down and it is pretty cute to watch. The kid has the moves.

He is still learning to share with his sister. He often asks her "what's wrong, Baby Mirra?" Translation: Mirra has something I want and I don't like it one bit. Then he pats her on the head in a very controlled manner and gives her a hug to distract her while he takes back the object of interest.

We went to the zoo Friday with my parents. We saw the penguins which Drew was very excited about. He has a thing for Macaroni penguins. He kept calling the Rockhopper penguins Macaroni penguins because they look similar. These ladies were watching his excitement and were talking to him. Drew starts talking about Macaroni penguins again and one lady says "I don't know, let's ask them." She then looks at the penguins and says "Do you like spaghetti?" Cracked me up. We then saw a walrus that was a giant ham. He was pressed up to the glass with his flippers crossed and was spitting up in the air, soaking up all the attention. Drew kept saying "he's not scared." I asked him who was not scared. "Walrus." Then we asked him if he was scared of the walrus and he said "yeah." That night after I read his bedtime story he was still talking about the scary walrus.

His favorite thing to do right now is to play in the creek. Anytime we go outside he heads straight for it. He goes through 3+ changes of clothes a day because he gets soaked running and jumping in the water.

Mirra is fine. She still hasn't popped that third tooth through, but I can see it right beneath her gum so it won't be long. She loves to hug her brother and pats him on the back. I will try to get a picture of it for you. The last time we tried to capture it on film she turned and started picking Drew's nose right as the flash went off. Lovely:)
