I couldn't resist showing you these pictures John snapped of Cole as he was helping me vacuum. :) Every time I turn on the vacuum and start pushing it around the house, he wants to jump on for a ride! I try to go as fast as I can as he laughs and chases the me around the house, but this time he had us cornered and victoriously sat on top of the vacuum and rode it a while as I pushed it down the hall! He loves the lights that go on when it's running :) If you're wondering why you don't see his hearing aids here, it's because it's almost bedtime and we hadn't put them on again after his bath. He is doing a great job keeping them on and wearing them every waking moment! Oh...and you'll also see how he loves the electrical sockets...hence the "child proof" plugs we have in them that he has now figured out how to pull out! Such and smart and persistent little man! Enjoy the pictures :)
Your cute story and pictures of Cole and the vacuum reminded me of Derek. When he was little, he hated when I had to vacuum, so we turned it into a game. The vacuum cleaner became the "Rancor Monster" (remember, Derek loved Star Wars!) It would chase Derek around the house and he loved that.
Thanks for the precious memories!
