Chick Hicks and his AKA's


Nathan and Sidney love the movie cars.

They love Lightning McQueen (the lead character). And they love Chick Hicks.

They have a set of matchbox cars from the movie. Sidney's favorite is the "Chick Hicks" car -- in Dinoco blue.

When we first got the car, Sidney couldn't pronounce Chick Hick's name correctly so he's had a variety of inventive names.

To whit:
1) Chuck MqQueen
2) Chuck-icks
3) Chick-icks
4) Chick-queen
5) Chick McQueen
6) Chick Hicks

Nathan's nightmares

For the past two nights, Nathan has woken up crying around 1A.

This morning, over breakfast, I asked him about his bad dreams.

Overheard

Sidney was crying. Nathan (who evdently made him cry) grabbed Sidneys head in his hands very gently and stroked his hair, saying

"Its ok, curly-puss!"

The tower

Alex and I got to sleep in today. When we came downstairs, a fantastic tower had appeared in our living room.

Bitsy and Bruce come for a visit

After Sam and Abby Sorkin's Bnai Mitzvah, Bruce and Bitsy stopped by the house to see the renovations and play with the boys.

Here, Nathan and Sidney show Aunt Bitsy where mamy and papy live on a big big map.
