Drewie Delights

A few things about Drew these days...

He is really into "paths."  He calls any kind of road or sidewalk a "path" and is always wanting to go down a different path than the one we are currently on at the moment.  We've started taking long walks together during the day with him on his motorcycle.  I let him pick whatever "path" he wants and we just go and go and go.

He's a climber and a big playground fan.  He can climb just about anything and is very good at it.  Sometimes I get nervous about his attempts, but he's actually quite skilled.


Drew loves snuggles and being "cozy."  Before he goes to bed at night I tell him it's time to "get cozy," and he rolls over and pulls the blanket tightly around himself.  Drew loves to get cozy in our bed.  He insists on taking his shirt off so he can roll around and feel the cool blankets on his skin.  He has the Murdock appreciation for comfort.


He'd take off his underwear, too, if I'd let him.


He also has an interest these days with things that hook together, or that he can pull.  Trains obviously fit into this category, but he also tries more creative ways of hooking things together like a trailer.  He can get very frustrated if things don't hook together the way he thinks they should.  I've had to resort to a lot of tape.  He once insisted on hooking together two of his little bikes, so we rigged them up with a jump rope.  He likes to watch himself pulling the second car behind him.

Drew found this pair of headphones, and wanted to carry them around as his "puppy."  I guess he thought the cord looked like a leash.  This is in the grocery store, where he insisted on trailing his "cute puppy" behind him. Someone actually stopped me and asked if I knew he was dragging headphones around.  "Of course," I replied, "that's his puppy."

Drew's been having fun at his weekly playschool.  This week they each brought their favorite car and the house was set up with a giant race track taped all over floor.  Drew was tickled that the cars could drive up onto the couch.


They did a stoplight craft that he was SO proud of.  He couldn't wait to show Tess and Dad.  He has no problem with me leaving and is always happy to go--a welcome change compared to someone else I know.
