Tattoos, etc.

Ben has a fake tattoo on his arm, and Emanuel has followed me around all morning asking, "Please, tattoo? I want tattoo! Please?"

Ben is also trying to pay his way through pre-school! He decided he wants to do the classes at the YMCA. I explained that we've already paid for soccer, vacation bible school, and preschool classes at the local botanical gardens, and we couldn't also pay for classes at the YMCA. So Ben has been saving every penny he can find for "school" at the YMCA. He also has been asking if he can get a job to earn more money. Hope he is still this motivated when college time rolls around!

Emanuel can say anything and its just shocking what comes out of his mouth. Not that he says anything shocking, but that he can say so many things! He switched from his crib to a toddler bed this week, and waved goodbye to his "baby bed" (as he called it) with great excitement. He loves to sing the alphabet loudly, especially in church when everyone else is singing hymns. And of course, eating is still a top priority for him!
