Rearranging

Today we rearranged the living room. The idea was to prevent the cat from being able to get onto the kitchen counter by moving the chair across the room. In the process, we had a bunch of extra space in one corner that we converted into a dedicated "play area" for Jonas. He was thrilled! He was so excited about his play area, that he actually requested that I take pictures of him... unbelievable!

As we worked on the house, we (naturally) found goods that we did not need, so we made a trip to goodwill to shed ourselves of them. On the way back we stopped for a hot-n-ready pizza for the boys. I ran in to get it, and when I got back, I was told of the happenings while I was gone (a total of maybe a minute). Brandon had the following conversation with Jonas:
Brandon: (Looking in the mirror watching me in the store)
Jonas: Daddy, what you doing??
B: I'm looking in the mirror for mommy.
J: No, you doing this. (Makes a big "O" with his mouth) Why you doing that daddy?
B: Because I was looking for mommy. (leaving out that he was just making a dumb face to see in the mirror)
J: Oh, ok. (makes the dumb face and starts shaking his head around). I am looking for mommy too!

So cute. I hope he continues to do this when he looks for someone!

In developmental news, Jonas got his pajama bottoms on completely by himself this evening... like they were laying on the floor, I went in the bathroom to retrieve something, came back, and he was just finishing pulling them up over his pull up. wow-- he's so close to being able to dress himself... that's just craziness! When did my little toddler become a little boy?
