Recently...

Josh and I had Chinese the other night, and I always use chopsticks to eat mine. While we were getting dinner ready Luca was driving me crazy, so I gave him a pair to play with. And then he wanted to bring them to the table. Since they're an eating utensil (that I was going to be using) it didn't seem right to tell him no. Good thing too, he showed us he's a pro! That's a corn kernel wedged in between those chopsticks. Now he's ready to travel with Grandpa =)

One time (One Time!) I stuck a clip we use to close chip bags onto Luca's shirt. One time. Now he likes to take them and try to put them on himself. On this particular day we had a lot of clips not holding onto anything, so Luca gave them a purpose.

We have a bunny that has been sitting most all day in the same spot for about a week. You can see him from the window over the kitchen sink and from Luca's bedroom window. He's there when we're washing up after breakfast, he's giving himself a bath around lunch time, and I've never seen him leave, so I have no idea how long into the dark he stays. Luca learned the word "bunny" because of him. Josh named him Reginald. He doesn't even move when Jude goes outside. Reggie has learned that Jude is way more interested on the dogs that might be on the other side of the fence than the bunny on his side. So he just stays still until Jude leaves. Then he goes back to staying still... Luca asks to check on him several times a day.

And, in super duper exciting news, mom and I are almost done with a quiet book! Pictures to follow soon!
