What Paul's been up to

Paul's doing what he loves most-playing with his cars. He holds some long conversations with them once Phoebe's down for her morning nap. Meanwhile, he'll help us sort laundry, feed Phoebe finger foods and her bottle, and have her chase him everywhere that's not blocked off. He just volunteered to do my errands for me then tells me, "don't drive me insane, Mommy." Isn't that my job though?
He's taking gymnastics once a week for an hour at a time. The group's 2 1/2 to 3yr olds, 3 girls, 3 boys, and let's just say that Paul loves to draw attention to himself. He does somersaults pretty well but we just have to keep him from doing them off of the sofa at home! The instructor motivates them with stamps if they do well following directions that day. If Miss Lee asks Paul to imagine eating something or act like an animal, his thoughts are about eating cars and acting like a cat.
He likes to do some coloring, but it takes some pushing to have him draw shapes. He'd rather I watch him draw than do it on his own and show it to me afterward.
I think Paul's finally convinced that Phoebe's girly ride on toy isn't as cool as the red tricycle he got for his birthday. Until he gets frustrated with pedaling over the deck floor.
Aside from having a 24hr bug that knocked him out for a day last week, he's been doing great.
