Cousins

This weekend we had a cousin invasion. Theo, Coby, and Haydon played all afternoon in evident cousin camaraderie. I have to say that Shawn and Aaron are attentive, playful, and overall awesome dads. While their women worked and studied they came over with their offspring and played a little magic, drank a couple beers, and generally watched the kids have a blast. I am happy that Theo has 4 boy cousins in town to make mischief with. On another subject, last night we got a great video of T kicking his ball around like an expert soccer player- no hands, fluid movements, no tripping. Derek has still not found the time to transfer our videos from high format HD to blog friendly format, but I will try to get this one on. He went in circles, not losing the ball, and moving very quickly. Theodore is talking a lot more as well. He says drink (dink), up, no (nahnahnah), eat, done (duh, with the sign for all done), bread (bed), ball (ba), and then there's 'nhg' for whatever word he can't say or is too lazy to try. He's a good sound mimic and has recently started to sing with the musical intro to Deep Space Nine. Ever the smiling, laughing sprite, he surprises me everyday with a new trick!
