So there is a lot of Turkey Talk going on at school every day - so we continue to talk about it at home and as we start talking about Pilgrims - Brooke asks - "what's a Pilgrim mom" and I am still laughing as I type this.....This was my 34 year old educated response...."Someone who walks a long way to eat some Turkey!" Ridiculous - I couldn't come up with anything or I was reminded how hard it is to describe something that just becomes so second nature to you after so long...... No wonder these little creatures consistently ask "Why Why Why" she is probably like mom you have no idea what you are talking about.....Anywho for those of you about to encounter the same conversation - you might more well versed than I but in case you are not or have a momentary relapse....here you go!

Ahhh In other news Brooke is in the midst of taking swimming and is really enjoying it - as well as mom - It's our first class without accompanying her in the water!! She is doing great - going under the water by herself willingly. Funny quote from her last week - her teacher Ms. Sandy said "oh Brooke good job I can't believe you remembered how to do it" (referring to some underwater spin move) Brooke responds "Yeah Ms. Sandy I don't miss a beat!"
Brady is continuing to stay upright! He is definitely enjoying keeping up with Brooke a little more! Today was a big day for him - the big dude is moving up to the next room at daycare since he is walking now......First, he has always struggled with the naps at daycare -I have always joked and laughed with the teacher because the next room they sleep on cots and of course I am like yeah right....well today was his first day sleeping over there and wouldn't you know it 2.5 hours on the cot............I am still suspect that they have a hidden stash of whiskey that they use on these kids! He also sat in a real chair at the table with the big kids - My first thought - great he won't want to ever be strapped in at home and he is going to hate his crib.....while that was short lived - my immediate next thought - WOW can we get rid of the highchair and pack n play......now co
me on it was only one day! Here are a few videos of the Kids jamming out - and apparently Brady is enrolling in the David Copperfield infant magic camp....Enjoy.
