But To Show You His Other Side....

Since I wrote about Andrew's latest escapades, I should show you his sweet side, too :) Even though he is definitely a total boy, he is also very sweet and nuturing. His nuturing side is really coming out these days as he nears two and is getting very much into pretend play and role playing. He loves to play "Daddy" and push baby dolls around in strollers. Just yesterday, the girls were playing house and pretending they were going out and needed to leave their baby dolls with a babysitter, so they asked Andrew to take care of the babies. He snuggled them, pretended to feed them from a spoon, and then - this cracked us up totally! - sat them in front of the TV in the family room (which pretty much has baseball on it 24/7, since Steve talked me into getting the DirecTV "MLB Season Ticket Package" - which apparently means extra channels, since 900 isn't enough - on which is broadcasted every baseball game on the face of the Earth). He sat the dolls on the couch, pointed the TV out to them, and said, "Baseball. Bat. Ball. Watch!"

His other favorite thing to do is make pretend food in the play kitchen for us. He'll take one of my real oven mitts from the drawer and then go bring over a play pot of whatever he's made me and tell me, "Hot!" He also LOVES to feed people. He won't start eating something until he's given some of it to everyone at the table. Here's a funny video I shot last night (after the toy-melting episode, when we finally got to eat dinner!) of him feeding Teresa - whether she wanted it or not :)
