Swingers

Dexter loves swinging with his Funky Monkey. My Bologna loves to watch Dexter and Funky Monkey swinging. Dexter loves that My Bologna loves to watch him swing with Funky Monkey. It's good times all around.

All I Want For Christmas Are My Two Top Molars

And that's exactly what Dexter got! For the last two nights Dexter has been waking us all up throughout the night. Not sick, not completely miserable, but not his normal sleep-through-the-night self. When he wasn't eating dinner with his usual gusto last night, I looked at his puffy gums and noticed the two top molars had begun to pop through.

Like Father, Like Son

Ben and I got Dexter his first real musical instrument this Christmas - a beautiful powder blue ukelele with a wooden bridge carved into the shape of a dolphin (special order courtesy of Flynn Guitars). Dexter was immediately enthralled and spent the rest of the day carrying it around while he explored other new toys. He didn't let it out of his sight, always wanting it within arm's reach should the urge to play music arise. And the urge did arise - again, and again, and again.

Merry Christmas

Somehow, Santa managed to get all the presents under the tree, fill the stockings, build a wooden rocking chair, and put together a swingset in the living room before Dexter woke up Christmas morning! Dexter was pretty amazed when he saw it all. He wasn't very interested in opening gifts but loved choosing gifts and handing them to us to open.
