The Sunday morning crew, watching a few minutes of Planet Earth II

Ella modeling her new hat ma made

Ma also brought over a Peter Rabbit stuffed animal for each of the kids. Des has already decided on a new nap time buddy- 

More Ella and dad naps

All bundled up, sporting her new hat

As Des continues to learn about making good choices and practicing good behavior, mom and dad have instituted a “pom pom jar” for rewarding unprompted good deeds. As Desmond reaches each new level, he gets increasing rewards: an ice cream outing, a movie at the theater, and eventually a new lego set. While filling the whole jar is several months away, he did get to the first level, so a trip to eCreamery was a special post-nap treat.

Eleanor was selflessly willing to show her support for brother’s good behavior

Eleanor can spot a dog a 100 feet away, through pedestrian and vehicle traffic 🙂

To the victor goes the spoils
