The Good Big Brother
Ollie received a $100 gift card from Toys R Us for being the top candy seller in his school, and guess what he did with it. He shared it with his sister. That was the first thing he said he was going to do, and Tori got a doll, while Ollie got some Legos and Bionicles. What a nice big brother. Way to go, Mom, Dad and Aunt Annie, for doing all of the selling.

Missing His Sister
Christian realized this week how much he misses his little sister when she's gone. She went to visit Cassy and Courtney in Cape for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving. Christian is a bit bored without her since he has no one to play with. Eli isn't old enough to play anything organized. The only thing he is good at is pushing buttons...usually on the TV while Christian is watching a movie!
This usually causes a cry for "help" from Christian. We than have to move Christian into our room to watch his movie and shut the door so Eli can't get in there and mess with the TV. Only another week and he'll get his sister back.
He has benefited from her being gone. He has gotten to wrestle me by himself (with Eli's help). He get to go see Fantastic Mr. Fox this weekend and he's been able to choose some of the meals we eat at dinner. He's also gotten to stay up later than usual. He can handle getting up at the same time each morning for school when he goes to sleep at 9 instead of 8:30. He's pretty much become self sufficient other than washing himself in the bath. Maybe in a year or two.
Update: No Fantastic Mr. Fox. Christian changed his mind. What a pain.

Grandma is Here
Grandma Vickie arrived on Sunday, and the kids have kept her busy. She went to Grandparents Day at Christian's school. He saw her immediately and told his teacher his grandma was there. She went to his room to help him with a picture of the two of them together. She picked him up from school and he grinned from ear to ear when he saw her. Tomorrow he gets to stay home with her and his sister! Tonight we're letting them stay up late, so they will sleep in tomorrow before their cousins arrive. It's crazy-crazy at the Ericksons.
