We haven't had too many exciting things to post recently since we've been busy just living life and getting ready for the holidays. So, here are some things to catch you up.
A few funny things to note from Owen:
-We recently bought a fisher-price nativity set and it's adorable. It plays "Away in a Manger." Owen calls the baby little boy "cheeses" instead of Jesus but we are working on it. It's pretty hilarious.
-Owen is obsessed with dinosaurs. He loves the show Dinosaur Train and pretty much anything dinosaur related.
-We recently went to a parent/teacher conference and really the only thing he is doing poorly is sharing the classroom dinosaurs with others... We also need to work on getting him to listen and follow a routine. Other than that he's doing great.
-Requests we "talk about" things. As in "Talk about playing with trains Daddy."
-We also got our first "where does X come from?" Luckily it was about where does snow come from and nothing too difficult yet!
-He's really enjoyed the snow. We bought him a snowglobe which he thinks is great because he can make it snow inside.
We gave Owen one of his Christmas presents early. It's a really neat stand that sets up next to the counter so he can watch what is going on. Usually he just wants to be picked up, but that can be dangerous and he's getting heavy so this is a great solution. It folds up easily which is nice because we can put it out of the way when he's not using it. He seems to really enjoy it.
Note the dinosaur...
A few videos for your enjoyment.

I'm beginning to question our parenting ability a little bit because lately he's been yelling "don't" at his toys and putting them on the naughty step. We're trying to vary how we approach our discipline to see if that works. Brett and I are probably strict by today's standards, but feel pretty strongly that it's the only way he'll learn. I'm sure all parents second-guess themselves at some point, so I'm not that worried about it.
Other than that, not much going on here. We'll have lots of exciting holiday pictures to share in the next few weeks I'm sure.

On another note, as I mentioned previously, Owen is OBSESSED with dinosaurs. He loves the show Dinosaur Train and anything related. He has even learned the name of about 8 species from watching the show and looking at a dinosaur coloring book. Amazing if I do say so myself. He will also tell you about the Jurassic and Cretaceous areas (periods) and what dinosaurs lived when. He's learned all of this from watching the show. Enjoy...
