I am behind, as always, on posting pictures of Fisher and so this is one of those looong posts that will catch me up.
My boys growling at each other. Fisher is really into the whole growling thing.
And then showing the love...(Both of the boys have a case of bed head in these photos.)
Fisher has had a big fixation with his tongue and spit as of late. It is gross and there have been many time-outs due to spit landing in the vicinity of our faces.
Searching for his adams apple after noticing Todd's.
This is a pose all to familiar for me growing up in a house with three brothers...shirt off and flexing. All that is missing is a mirror for him to stare at himself (and maybe some muscle as well :)
Our camera that enabled us to take videos happened to break a while back and so we don't have a way to take a movie of Fisher's latest dance moves. It's too bad because the latest is pretty funny. Here is a picture that will have to do.
Today we decided to do a little finger painting. He loves to make pictures: water color, finger paint, crayons, markers and even outside chalk. Anything goes.
Please don't come near me with those hands.
This is another one of my pictures that you can't see anything unless you enlarge it but I wanted to put it on the blog since this was a first for me. One day I heard something outside and when I looked out the window I saw Woody Woodpecker pecking away on the tree right in the middle of this picture.
Fisher spent at least ten minutes jumping on and off this curb. We are so happy that the weather is starting to warm up so that he can expel a little more energy through out the day when we go outside. The stir crazy bug was starting to get to us.
Some other things Fisher is into these days are:-Asking us what letter a word starts with.
-Coming up with names for the baby. At the moment his favorite is "Toenail"
-Drumming. He is our little drummer boy and is very good at finding the beat in songs.
-Catching frogs out back with Todd.
-Asking us where things come from meaning "which store".
-Movies. He has never been into movies but this past month as our household has had really bad colds, the flu & allergies,there have been more of them than normal. At the moment, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast & Madagascar 2 are his favorites. We need to ease up on them though because I find myself having a lot of talks about how we don't say certain things, and we don't yell like that and we don't spit like the zebras on Madagascar. The more I think about it, the more I know we need to turn off the DVD player. Being sick is not a good thing.
Fisher also loves sticks. There is not a time that he goes outside that he does not pick up some sort of stick.
Most of the time his eyes are bigger than his actual strength.
Thankfully there were no kids on the playground at this time.
He also loves to help around the house whether it is helping me dust, sweep, vacuum...pretty much everything but cleaning up his own toys & messes. He is always excited to help his Daddy with projects such as putting together his new dresser or hanging a shelf.
My boys hard at work.
The kid still refuses to poop on the toilet. I am beyond frustrated. He was completely potty trained with the whole pee thing but has since decided that since he doesn't have to poop on the potty then why bother peeing on the potty. I HATE potty training and am ready to say "Fine. If you want to wear diapers like a baby then I am going to start treating you like a baby." The kid is intelligent enough but potty training just doesn't seem to be his thing.
He is excited about his baby brother. I've been asking him lately if he understands what it means when I say that I am having a baby. You know- the whole fact that the baby will come home with us, stay forever and completely turn Fisher's world upside down. He normally just smiles and says "yes."
He also has had some smart come backs lately. One day we were driving home from church and I was lecturing him a little on spitting and sticking his tongue out. The conversation went a little like this:M: "Fisher, I just don't know where this came from!"
F: "From my mouth Mommy."
(in the tone of voice to say that I must be an idiot not to know where spit comes from.)
One thing Todd and I discovered a few years back is that daylight savings time is not as fun when you have a kid.
Fisher has loved his little pre-school group and can now say the pledge of allegiance almost the whole way through. 
His favorite bedtime/primary songs are Book of Mormon Stories, I am a Child of God and the "Whenever I hear the song of a bird"-I can never remember the name of that one :)
Thanks to Grandma Church for making a quick visit the other day. Fisher had so much fun playing with bubbles, puzzles, chalk and everything else you did. I enjoyed some personal R&R, which for me stands for reading & relaxation. :)
At least Todd was able to take the day off again today. Now I only hope I will still have my ultrasound appointment tomorrow. If it was any other apointment and I would be thrilled if it was cancelled and I was able to stay home.
