Just this week, Shepard has thrown over "blue blankie" (of which we own TWO) for "Lovely Carrot." Lovely Carrot is an elephant lovie that was given to us by our friend Sarah DeShields at a shower before Shepard was born. He found her in his stuffed animal bin and named her. She is neither a carrot nor a rabbit. I have no idea where he gets this stuff.
He also threw himself on the floor with a power fake-cry because "I can't smell things the way Regis (the dog) can!!!!!!! Why can't I smell like the dog!?" I think he just wanted something to cry about.
In other news, he might end up on the street with no teeth, since he cannot be bothered to clear his plate from the table, pick up books off his floor, or brush his teeth, since these things are all "too boring." Last week he told me he likes to eat "fun cake" more than "work cake." He asked me a few weeks ago why people have to go to work and do a job. I told him that the Bible says we need to work in order to eat (and have money for things like fun and a home, etc.). He said he would invent a machine that would make food for him (so he doesn't have to work...). I'll just leave that there. Hopefully, he'll go far with his toothless smile and creative spirit.
We had a blast at Edisto with our cousins and Jones family last week. I think Shepard is part fish. He has taken round two of swim lessons this summer, and is getting very, very close to swimming on his own.
Here's a pic from the angel tree near Charleston, SC. He was acting like the opposite of angel on this morning. ;)
More to come. I'm getting this thing updated IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!
