I have tried to give Brock choices so that he has control. I think he has it figured out. Today, when I was watching a television he wanted he said to me, "Mom here are your choices. You can watch me play XBox, or turn off the tv. You choose."
What am I gonna do with that boy?!

New House
Brock was looking in a snack cupboard and said, "I want a new house. This one is boring. There is no good food in this one." I guess he thought the food came with the house!!

Boy I wished for
Brock says some things that sure are cute. A few times, lately, he says,
"When you were wishing for me, was I the kind of boy you were wishing for?"

Florida Vacation
Dad decided that we should use our Frequent Flyer Miles and take a trip to get away from the ND weather. So he booked tickets to Florida!
After researching a little, he found out that staying in Florida is quite expensive. And it wasn't anymore expensive to take a little cruise, than it was to stay in Florida. So, we went on a 3 day Carnival Cruise.
We had one day in Nassau, Bahamas - where we shopped a little (Cole and Dillon got sunglasses and some $5 movies:Avatar, 2012, The Hangover and for Brock: Alvin & The Chipmunks Squeakel, Mom got a Tiffany necklace, and Brock got a couple toys made by the natives. Dad also got a necklace). We walked along the beach, but it was a cool day, so only Cole and Brock waded in. Little did I know that the water there was the bluest, turquoise color of the trip.
3rd day was at the ocean. It was a warmer day, so we laid out by the unheated pool. C & D got in, but it was too cold for the rest of us.
We then went to Key Largo and had a nice hotel on the bay side. No waves but lots of sea life: clams, crabs, starfish, jellyfish. We drove down to Key West and caught a little bit of the acts and life on the southernmost point of USA.
We went up the coast to Ft. Lauderdale to find some waves. We got there in the evening and spent a little bit of time before the sun set. The next day was cool, so we just searched for seashells. We found them - and LOTS of Portuguese Man of War Jellyfish! So many that we didn't dare wade in the ocean much!
It was a fun trip, nice to get away from the Winter Blues.
