Guess who?
Guess who is dressing himself?
Really and truly: underwear + pants + shirt (still working on the socks).
(Here's a hint...it is not Chris...he is already pretty skilled at doing it on his own...including ironing his own shirts. Today I took Simon to school and the first thing he played with was an iron & ironing board. Good training around the Edwards' house.)
Tonight he put on his PJ's without assistance (alright, there was one little hint from Dad on the arm not going through the head-hole).
It rocked.
way to go Simon, that's so awesome!!

That's awesome! A big Woo-Hoo for Simon today! I really loved his song and was so touched I showed it to my DH and several friends. What a treasure that video is for your family.
And as for Chris and his ironing... isn't a man who irons extra sexy? I say this because my DH also irons all his own stuff (always has) and I find him extra sexy when he's standing at the board pressing his shirt for the day. It's a great example for kids to see. Way to go Edwards family.

EASTER STORY COOKIES
To be made the evening before Easter
You need:
1 cup whole pecans
1 tsp. Vinegar
3 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 cup sugar
Zipper baggie
Wooden spoon
Tape
Bible
Preheat oven to 300 degrees (this is important-don't wait until you're
half done with the recipe)!
Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden
spoon to break into small pieces.
Explain that after Jesus was arrested.
He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Read John 19:1-3.
Let each child smell the vinegar.
Put 1 tsp. Vinegar into mixing bowl.
Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar
to drink.
Read John 19:28-30.
Add egg whites to vinegar.
Eggs represent life.
Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life.
Read John 10:10-11.
Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand.
Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl.
Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers,
and the bitterness of our own sin.
Read Luke 23:27.
So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing.
Add 1 cup sugar.
Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because
He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him.
Read Ps. 34:8 and John 3:16.
Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks
are formed.
Explain that the color white Represents --in God's eyes -- the purity of
those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.
Read Isa. 1:18 and John 3:1-3.
Fold in broken nuts.
Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper-covered cookie sheet.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was
laid.
Read Matt. 27:57-60.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.
Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.
Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed.
Read Matt. 27:65-66.
GO TO BED!
Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven
overnight.
Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed.
Read John 16:20 and 22.
On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie.
Notice the cracked surface and take a Bite.
The cookies are hollow!
On the first Easter, Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open
and empty.
Read Matt. 28:1-9

Hey! you tell Simon that I got to work yesterday and someone had to tell me my shirt was on inside out! We all have days where we don't know which hole to put our head through!!! Go Simon! Trish

Hey, sometimes I still get my panties in a knot so hints from dad on armholes are totally permitted and do not count against dressing oneself!

Congratulations Simon! (high five and 2 thumbs up)
My Aidan can put socks and shoes on, and take his clothes off. Working on the clothes on. :) LOL!
Have a Happy Easter!

Young Simon certainly is growing up and making a lot of progress. Dressing himself? That is very cool.

Way to go Simon!!!!!!!
We also worked our way through two different socks, backward pants, inside out t-shirts and the ever two left shoes.
I have the pictures as a reminder. Ohh this brings back memories.
