Quinn loves to recite lines from "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs". He asks Luke or I to act as the wolf or pig and he takes on the other role. He's fabulous about acting out the part, knocking on the door and asking for sugar to make his grandmother's cake. He likes the idea of saying "No, go away Pig" or "Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin". He sounds so adorable sometimes when he's acting as the wolf and needing sugar for the cake, that I often agree and had over the sugar so he can make his imaginary cake:) Sweet boy.

He also likes to sing, "Let's go fly a kite... " but he loses some of the lines. From Jingle bells, he's adept at the dashing through the snow verse when he acts like he's tapping the musical sticks together. He was quite the adorable little boy at the sing along. He liked traveling up to the main floor of the dorm via the elevator, so much so that the next time I picked him up, he wanted to go upstairs to get a cookie, just like at the show. The show was very crowded and so there was little room for Quinn who sat squashed next to other kids. He didn't sing much, but at one point in the show, he did stand up, lift his shirt and show off his tummy. Nice:)

Quinn has taken to enjoying a stick of gum now and then. His Dad got him started on it on the route to school as a way to cover his breath:) He also very much likes chocolate covered pretzels, pudding, and suckers. The first time that I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he actually said "suckers" and then said toys. I was the one who sort of planted the kitchen idea, but he did very much want one, I think.

I am having terrible indigestion and heartburn problems. Following a rough day earlier this week, I haven't been able to eat normally and everything seems to affect me. Uggh. I am tired and worn down from being pregnant and worrying that my care for Quinn suffers because of it. I don't know if heading back to school will be a good thing or not. There's tons going on this month, much that I am in charge of. I have tons to do before I head back to school and all I want to do is sleep, feel well and spend quality time with my family.

Quinn is quite the active reader most nights now. I delight in watching him read to himself and recount the events of what is happening. He has a new book called Too Many Toys and there's a page with many images of people. Quinn points out a quite unattractive threesome that he labels Luke, Quinn and I. Odd and funny:)
