Let's Go Cubs
With another Cubs/Rockies series upon us in Denver, I thought it was a good time to post this classic picture of John Paul.

Oh, the memory of a 3-year-old
It only took me a year to upload this one. During our road trip to the Midwest last summer we listened to "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss several times. A couple weeks later, John Paul picked up the book and "read" the whole thing. The mind of a 3-year-old is amazing!

Nothing makes me prouder....
As a mom, there is nothing that makes me prouder than when one of my children learns a new skill. Crawling, walking, saying Mama (and Dada, I suppose) are accomplishments that have brought me such joy and they aren't even my own personal accomplishments.
Today, I enjoyed another proud Mama moment. It is snowy and FREEZING in Denver and we were homebound because I chickened out on the drive to my usual Wednesday playdate. The boys and I were enjoying a fun morning of snowflake making, puzzles and Memory games, and had made the move to the basement for a thrilling game of Candyland. As John Paul and I played, Kolbe mostly moved the other pieces around and tried to steal the cards and chuck them around the room. Then, John Paul drew a double purple and counted his move aloud, "one...two." Kolbe looked over his shoulder and started counting too - ALL THE WAY TO 10!!!!! I almost died. I told him to do it again and he did. I ran for my camera and quick grabbed this video for fear it was a fluke and Ryan wouldn't believe that he really did it.
He was so proud of himself and once he received my praise he couldn't get enough. He is a bit of a camera ham and would've let me film 5 minutes of him counting if the battery hadn't died.

*He does skip the number 7 every time, but he isn't even 21 months old. Give the kid a break!!!!
We also found some extra clips that we didn't know we had when Ryan was making Kolbe's movie. Here is an additional out-takes video to enjoy.

Thankful for Kolbe
Finally! It took me too long (20 months) to make a video of Kolbe's pre-birth and re-birth. John Paul's video was done within 5 months. Typical second-child syndrome I guess. Making and watching this video made us sad for our Vianney, but it also deepened our joyful thanksgiving for the gifts of John Paul and Kolbe. My favorite part is watching John Paul visit his little brother in the hospital.
Below, you can also watch some outtakes. Be sure to watch them to the end, the funniest one is last!

The Menace of the House
By definition menace means something that threatens to cause evil, harm, injury, etc.; a threat. This guy epitomizes that definition here at the O'Connor's.
Kolbe is terrified of this toy. It lives in John Paul's room, preferably in the toy chest and Kolbe still stops when he gets to the top of the stairs and with a frightened look repeats his name. He has refused to even go in John Paul's room all week because this is where Mickey lives. Even after he was out of sight and I repeatedly told him that "Mickey was gone."
In his defense, this Mickey does sing and dance when you squeeze his nose. The end of the song includes a pretty "wicked" laugh (think "EH HEEHEEHEEHEE").
As his protection he has taken to carrying an elephant as big as he is. Seems wise...
MICKEY!
