One of Corrie's Christmas presents was a gift card to Barnes and Nobles and a special date to pick out a book. We happened to get there right at lunch time and decided to try a hibachi buffet next door. I am not sure what the incubation period is for Hepatitis A, but I hope we are past it. I wanted to document that of all of things there, Corrie was most excited about the crawfish.</div>

I found an old draft post from a year ago. It was the weekend of the annual Boys' and Girls' club bike race. We happened to also have some live entertainment that night. Corrie used a shark on a keychain and connected it to a rope made of rubber bands. We made up a fun game called Sharknado.</div>

My first thought was to buy him a few sets so that he could learn how these new pieces fit together.<br />
<br />
He insisted on looking on Amazon and Ebay for various bags of parts so that he could totally "make his own inventions."<br />
<br />
For the past few days, he has been trying to build a car that would move forward. There has been lots excitement matched with frustration and disappointment over countless failures.<br />
<br />
FINALLY, this morning, when I woke up, Mac could not wait to show me that he made a car that "actually worked!"<br />
<br />
I was absolutely shocked and so happy for him! I wish I would have taken pictures/videos of all of the other attempts to document just how incredibly far he came in just a couple of days!<br />
<br />
Great job Mac!<br />

He is doing great is his Pre-K class at First Baptist Preschool, and he seems to be enjoying making life as wild and interesting as possible...making life very "colorful" for me.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Yesterday morning we all (me and the four kids) sat in a small room at the doctor's office, waiting for David to have his 4 year-old check-up and shots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Nurse Practitioner came in and asked the usual questions, to which David gave the worst possible answers. She started off asking him about preschool, and he told her he did not have a playground, did not do art or crafts, and did not learn about letters...or learn anything. (All in the softest, cutest voice possible).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then she asked him what kind of food he likes. No matter what she asked him, the only thing he would say was, "CANDY!!!!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"Do you like strawberries?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"No! Candy!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"Do you like apples?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
"No! Candy!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And on, and on, and on, it went...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I found some pictures on my phone of David that I thought I would include in this update:</div>

A video of him playing with the "toy" that he literally played with for an entire day...including a 6-hour car trip. It was a tangled up piece of blue string.<br />

Note: on the first week of preschool, David brought home a craft that was titled "All About Me." Under the part that said "I want to be:" It said, "Military Chef."<br />
<br />
That's David!</div>
