Myles and "Wonder"

Myles has had a good week!  He lost his first tooth....

 

and he got a new cow! :o)  Meet "Wonder" the blind calf.

We got her as sort of a project for Myles  Something to keep him busy and to be responsible for.  We had the hopes of having some meat in the freezer eventually, but Myles thinks differently.  The other day I told him we could get him a kitten when we put the cow in the freezer and he said, "No, we can just put cat meat in the freezer. I want you to leave Wonder alone."

When she first got here she wouldn't let anyone near her.  Myles (and the other children) are all over her now.  Of course, she is skittish when she gets startled because she can't see.

Myles is such a funny, busy and mischievous little boy.  We bought him the first season of "Dennis the Menace" and we nicknamed him, "Myles the Menace". :o)
The other day Marc took him for a walk by himself.  The conversations when you just take one child off by themselves are so precious. 
What do you want to be when you grow up?  "I want to chew big boy chewing gum."
Favorite color? "Red"
Favorite restaurant?  "Barberitos"
Favorite trains?  "James and Connor"
Favorite thing to do?  "Play football"
He then added that when he grows up he wants to build Barnabas (his dog) a big doghouse! :o)

I was irritable the other day putting clothes away in the boys' room.  He doesn't like for me to be mad and he said, "Mommy, you are so cute."  I said,  "Are you a charmer?"  Without missing a beat he very innocently asked, "Are you a grouch?"

I sure love this little boy!
