Since it is taking for ever to bring Brother and Sister home, we had to re-do most of our paperwork. So, like the first time, I took a picture of the paperwork with Brother and Sister Bears before it was sent to Ethiopia in January.
Wally wanted scrap wood from Papa Randy for Christmas. Since the weather was nice, we were finally able to do some building outside. With very little design advice, Wally built a "Sword Shooter." You can use a sword (or lightsaber) to hit the target to make it fall or you can put a marble in the cup and use it as a catapult.
Since the weather was still nice, he was able to paint it and put Pixie dust on the moving part.
Wally is still very much into building with Legos and making Good Guy Ships.
We didn't have much of a winter. Maybe 3 snows, and not much snow with those. This was the best snow. Wally discovered that he could scoop up the packed snow on the driveway from the tire tracks and use it to make a wall. It really was pretty cool!
A bunch of area libraries had a reading week. As part of the festivities, we could ride the Hawkeye express up to North Liberty and back. Train ride? Sign us up!
Wally was only a little excited...
It actually turned out to be really lame. It was advertized to have hot cocoa, Legos, activities, crafts, stories, and book characters...turns out only a couple book characters were on the actual train ride and everything else was at the libraries. The train was also really hot, the windows were almost impossible to see through, and the ride was therefore full of bored, crabby kids. Well, at least we got to ride a train!
We only got to go sledding a couple times, but Wally and his friends made the most of it.
Whew! We've put a couple miles on the van since we got it!
Wally has been building Lego things and then making instruction books for them.
On January 18, 2012, we got referrals! We had a little party with Chinese food and pink and blue balloons that night to celebrate.
That kid is ready to be a big brother!
