Just another fun day here at the Brown house. One of Sullivan’s favorite things to do these days is play in mommy and daddy’s cars….well today Master Brodie decided he wanted to join him and I just couldn’t resist taking some shots of this. And yes, Sullivan still wears a bowl on his head that he calls a hat.

We all had a great Easter this year….my first actually with Sullivan (as I missed his first Easter last year because I was back home in PA for my grandmothers funeral). We spent the day out in Georgetown. He had his own Easter eggs to gather and wonderful little basket with treats and got to play and visit with his cousins….a grand day indeed. Sullivan even discovered the glorious world of CANDY. Ate his first ever Hershey’s kiss and reese’s peanut butter cup and thought that was great. And today while I was getting his lunch ready my sweet little boy roared out in the most beastly of voices …”CANDY!” his eyes bulging and fists clenched as though he was possessed. He has discovered the wonders of chocolate now….no turning back huh?

My sweet little boy has turned into a fierce Exercise Master overnight. Damon got Sullivan a Elmo video called Elmocise where Elmo exercises with all his friends. Well he just LOVES this video and jumps, and kicks, and hops along with all the Elmo exercises BUT not alone……he absolutely refuses to Elmocise without Mommy. So as soon as the video comes on he runs throughout the house screaming “Mommy, One” which is his way of saying Mommy get your fat butt away from the computer and come ELMOCISE with me….and then of course he shouts and screams and laughs while we exercise like a professional trainer….(see image).

And he has also added a new instrument to his list….the harmonica……he’ll put one of his hats on and just jam out to his harmonica like a professional bluester.

Pretty fun times around the house today.

Not sure if there is a gene that predicts how a child will respond to a baby but apparently in Sullivan’s situation there is. He has a couple of Sesame Street stuffed characters at the house and has started feeding them and putting them down for a nap and all sorts of pretend play and so I thought he might enjoy having a little boy doll to play pretend with. I found the cutest little cabbage patch boy doll dressed in overalls with a hat and when I brought it home yesterday the first thing he did was grab the baby hugged him and said “KISS” and kissed the baby. (from the stories I heard from Damon’s parents this is what he did with toy babies when he was young) Sullivan then slept with baby last night and has been giving baby tons of kisses this morning. He says “Ah, baby..Kiss?” and then kisses the baby. he also likes to point out all of his body parts. Eyes, chin, nose, mouth, cheeks, elbow, hands, shoes, hat, head, hair, belly, hiney…..it is absolutely precious.

See pictures above of Sullivan with new baby (no name)….first kissing baby then pointing out his eyes.

Damon captured Sullivan acting in front of the mirror. It’s so funny to see him act out a scene he has watched on video…playing his guitar or giving the mirror Sullivan a lecture on this or that. Pretty cute.
