Delimpo Days: Levi

Allright....so an update about my oldest child...Levi, Levi Levi.....he thinks he is all grown up now. He's always been independent and wants to do everything by himself, but lately, he's taken it to a whole new level! He now goes pee all by himself....that is a huge blessing (before he would need help with pulling his pants down and that kind of thing. But it's also a bad thing in a way, because he also thinks he can wipe himself now if you know what I mean. I won't go into great detail....but lets just say that I pretty much have to sit outside the bathroom door when he's doing a #2! lol.

The other day I caught him in our bathroom "shaving" He had Anthony's real razor out, and had toothpaste all over his face!! I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "LOOK, Im shaving just like daddy!" It was hard to get upset with him (actually I didn't) but I had to have a reaction to scare him a little...he shouldnt be playing with a real razor you know? But it was easy...all I had to do was show him his face in the mirror...he had slightly cut his lip so seeing the blood FREAKED him out!!!! I was thankful to God that it was only a minor cut..but a big enough one to scare him!

Speaking of cutting....long story short....I got a new winter coat this year for Christmas with a gift card from Kohls. It's a really nice one to say the least. Well, one day a few weeks ago Levi decided to get his scissors out and start cutting stuff....yes, including my new coat!! I was SO ANGRY at him at first. When I calmed down, I realized the cut was in a place that you would never notice and that it was really small. Still...again, I had to have a reaction to scare him...it was my coat this time...but next time it could be Colt's hair or worse! He got in big trouble for that....I won't go into those details!

Okay...so let's get to something positive about Levi! haha! He is growing up....he can now spell his name and about half of the time he can spell Colt's name too. He's wanting to learn how to write it now. I can't figure out if he's gonna be left handed or not. He usually picks his left hand to write with at first.....GREAT! Thanks Grandma Gheen!!! He can also find the letters (the magnetic kind we have on the fridge) and put the letters in the correct order to spell his name!

He is working on learning the National Anthem...he's got some of the parts down part....especially the line that goes..."And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" only, in his version of the song, he adds, "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM" right after that part!

Levi's got a such a thirst for life and for knowledge. Just last night we read a book about Jesus and it showed a picture of Jesus on the cross. He wanted to know ALL about it. I pray that the words that come out of my mouth are ones that will one day lead Levi to accepting Jesus into his heart! Also, just tonight Levi has learned to draw a "real person" picture. In the shower tonight, he drew a real face..with eyes, nose, mouth and hair....all in the right places! lol :)

Okay, so here's some pictures.....
