Little Photographer

Every time I get the camera out to take pictures of the boys Jovin always asks to take a picture. Well I finally let him do it. We put the strap around his neck so if he dropped the camera it wouldn't hit the ground. With just the first few pictures that he took he did pretty good. He was really excited to see that if he pushed the button whatever he pointed the camera at it would stay on the screen. You gotta love the instant gratification from digital cameras. :) Here are some of the pictures that Jovin took. :)





This last one is on here cause Jovin wanted a picture of me and him together. :) (I took this one.)

Pierce's Blessing

Well I feel like I'm finally getting caught up on things happening in our lives... just you watch though, now that I've put that saying out there in the universe I'm gonna get way behind again.

Cory blessed Pierce two Sunday's ago. The outfit was a little tight on him so I took it off right after the blessing. I then kept forgetting to put it back on him for a picture. Well here we are two weeks later and I finally did it. I'm glad I did. It was even tighter this time, I can only imagine if I had waited longer I wouldn't have been able to get it on him. :)

Here he is in all his cuteness!

Go Fish...

So the other day I was playing around with a deck of cards and Jovin asked if he could play with me. So I decided to teach him how to play Go Fish. I remember playing Go Fish with my Mom and Grandparents. The antisipation of asking for the last card in a match up and getting if from them was so monumental... I was getting excited to teach
Jovin this game so he could experience this too.
So I started off explaining the game and how to ask for cards and if I don't have what he asked for I will tell him to "go fish" and he is to take the top card off the deck. Then it would be my turn to ask him and so on...
As we start playing the game Jovin is starting to understand how it works... but then he realized that being told to "go fish" meant that I did not have the card he was looking for and he needed to pull from the deck and get some random card that he really didn't want. So then it started to escalate to the point when I would tell him to "go fish" he would put his head in his hands or on the floor and cry and tell me to stop telling him to "go fish". The crying would go on for a few minutes and he didn't want to continue to play.
I had to keep persuading him to continue to play and next time ask me for a different card. When he did finally get a match of four cards he was thrilled and wanted the game to be over.
When it was my turn I asked him for his 6's and he started to cry again and said that he didn't want to give them to me cause he wanted to get all the 6's. I had to explain that if I asked for a type of card that he had he needed to give them to me so that the game would be fair. Obviously he didn't like that idea.
Needless to say I stayed with it and we did finish the game. Although it was the LONGEST game of Go Fish that I have EVER played.
Oh, and now if I suggest to play it he tells me, "okay Momma, but don't tell me to go fish anymore..."
