Christmas came a little early today. We decided to open the presents from my side of the family early, rather than pack them up to take them to Indiana tomorrow. Micah and Carter had a great time with interchangeable cars from my parents. There's one base car, then several other vehicle types that fit over the base. Each vehicle has its own sound effects - kind of a cool idea.
(This picture was taken at Carter's request. Actually, he wanted me to take one of him sitting ON Micah, but we compromised.)The boys also enjoyed using their "sweepers" to help me tidy up the house.
(Why does Micah have one sock on and one sock off?)A surprising favorite, however, was a stuffed moose. With the exception of Little George (Curious George's mini-version that Carter lent to Micah and will probably never get back), Micah has shown very little interest in stuffed animals. There must be something special about this moose, though, because Micah gave it a big hug, carried it around, and even took him to bed! The funniest part is that he refuses to say "moose". He calls it his "juice"! He is fully capable of making the /m/ sound (as evidenced by saying "Mommy!" eight hundred times a day), but I guess this particular moose is named "Juice".
(Several hours later, still only one sock.)
