Bday party cute overload

Soren's BFFs Benjamin, Ingrid, and Olivia celebrated Soren's birthday with him in his back yard!

Class photo day

It's like herding baby cats!

 Cheese! 

Moon over my hammy

Soren was somewhat ambivalent about the animals at the zoo this past weekend, but he loved the train, and he cheesed it right up for the photo booth.

I heart Soren

Soren made me a red foam picture frame decorated with Valentine's stickers, and this was in it! What an awesome present from the boy! I love this photo so much, I wish I had the digital file. 

WHY?

Soren is officially in the WHY? phase. He does stop asking that once you give him a good answer, though.

New haircut! Why? Because I didn't want him to start looking like Tom Brady!

Soren's class made a nunkin man

I actually had to Photoshop the snot off some of these kids (including Soren) before posting this--not even just snot, but giant green boogies. Why would a teacher take such a boogie-ridden photo? I know they have tissues, because we donated a case of them!

Fu Pandas

Soren checked out the National Zoo yesterday. His favorites were the "Modo" Dragon and the Elephant Poop.

This panda border is pretty lame!

Dr. Soren will CHECK YOU OUT.

Stinky Soren

Soren is going to trick-or-treat as a skunk this year. Scent gland removed!

The first picture shows a few of the various (very cute) stuffed animals and other "lovies" we have bought over the last two years and tried to get Soren to bond with. Cost = probably in the neighborhood of $500.

The second photo shows the winner of the contest. Nope, no cute lion, no hand knitted blanket from Auntie Kim, no felt Ninja from Paris, no 3-foot blue cat, no . Femmin loves his pillowcase! Luckily they come in packs of two from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Cost = $29.99 minus 20% of BBB coupon.
