Favorite things...



Corin has always loved stuffed animals, but hasn't shown any interest in attaching to any one in particular. Until MewShoo. We've had this cat for some time, but he never really showed much interest. Now, though, "she" is his beloved cat. She has personality, likes, dislikes, activities. Usually she lives in his bed and waits for him to come to sleep. Today, she ventured out with him. They have been playing together all morning, after he showed me how she stretched and made a tunnel with her body.

He is also obsessed with the color orange. We had a long discussion when we were going to ride Thomas about painting Thomas orange. I didn't think that was possible. He thought it was mandatory. While there, we stumbled across Murdoch, who happens to already be orange. Voila! a new favorite was born.

Dinosaurs are very, very cool. We'll see how he feels after we see them up close and HUGE at the Walk with the Dinosaurs show next weekend. Right now, he wants to watch Dinosaur Train on PBS whenever we're home at 9:30. It's not too bad, but I don't think it should have replaced Reading Rainbow. :)

Legos...he and MewShoo are building Lego buildings for her to play and live in.

He's always building something, whether it's a huge train train track so that every train can drive on it or a huge Lego building to house another toy (or train). That's my boy.

Little artiste...

I seem to have gotten my little artist in Corin. He was, I thought, eating breakfast. Then, I hear him washing his hands lamenting that it's stuck. I wonder what's stuck. I go in to find his hands COVERED in bright red marker. Few spots on his face such that it looks like he was beaten.

I ask what he's been up to. He says he made his chair beautiful.

Oh yes...he did.

With Sharpies...




That photo of him...after I'd washed off what I could.
