  • A few more two-word phrases from Grant:  "truck game", "Daddy home" (he says this whenever he hears Brian in some other part of the house, even if it wasn't right when he came home from work; he said it today when Brian left for work)...  there are more, I think, but I don't remember right now.

    He loves to count, though he doesn't say much around 6 or 7.  Yesterday Madeleine counted to 8 and then stopped, and Grant said "nine, ten!"  He also loves to say "Mine!!"  He really likes to call my iPod touch "mine!"  Madeleine will often say "mines" instead of "mine", because of the whole grammatical pattern... you know, all the other possessives have an "s" on the end, so it's yours, ours, his, hers, theirs, its.... but then it's "mine", no "s".  So in this one thing Grant says a word better than Madeleine (though his understanding of the language is much less). 

    I see a few snowflakes falling down.  The last two months have been really warm and fairly nice, but I guess we're going to get one last little hurrah of winter. 

    The kids love watching My Little Pony videos.  We have a whole playlist with 16 episodes of the new pony show on youtube.  I rather like it too.

    Grant's here trying to get my attention, so I guess I should give him some.
