Silas' Christmas Tree

Silas wanted his own Christmas tree this year.

It is the perfect size for him.

True Fruit

Mum was able to find some fruit bars that are pretty healthy.

I think Silas likes them.

Where is Silas

I went to build mega blocks with Silas, but I couldn't find him!

Once I did, we built this masterpiece.

Swimming Lessons

Silas started swimming lessons again.

At first he was very timid.

But once he got going, he had a lot of fun.

Here he is getting used to his goggles.

Soon he forgets he even has them on.

Swimming with goggles is fun.

Practice floating.

Shaving Cream

What a great mum to allow Silas to get really really messy!!!

I was surprised to find Silas and Tina reading a book after breakfast....

Under the kitchen table!

I guess education has no limits.

Scooter 'Coffee Break'

When Silas and I take our scooters out for a ride, I bring a bottle of water and we stop for a 'Coffee Break'

Getting him to smile for a photo is the REAL work!

Mega Blocks Robot

Silas and I continue to make our Saturday morning Mega Blocks masterpieces.

Not quite as tall as Silas, but then again, very few things are as tall as Slias!

Saved

We never know exactly how genuine these things are,

but Silas made it very clear he wanted to be forgiven of his sin

and to ask Jesus into his heart to live with Him forever.

Praise the Lord!

Cockatoo

We had a nice surprise on our back patio.

Silas thinks this is pretty cool.

Marble Roller Coaster

Originally, this was going to be a Christmas gift.

However, Silas 'found' it early and we decided to open it now...

Smile Silas!

What a project.

Finally done.

Let's see it in action. 

Licking Frosting

Yum....

Another Tower

Another Mega Blocks tower this Saturday...

Mega Blocks Monument

A typical Saturday morning.

Time to build with Mega Blocks.

Silas would not pose for the picture.

I don't know why he is so shy.

Well, I guess this will have to do.

Coffee Break

Oddly enough, Silas started asking for a "Coffee Break"

when we would go shopping.

His "Coffee" is a cup of ice cold milk.

But he LOVES it... and we love him!

Questacon

In the capital city of Canberra,

there is a great science museum called Questacon.

It really gives you a lot of hands-on things to play with.

Here we are showing water flowing and the

power it has to move little plastic balls.

However.....
once Silas found a toy construction site....

No more exploration was needed.

"Silas, let's look at something else.  We have been playing at this construction site for over two hours!"

Well, we didn't see much, but Silas had fun.

Volcano

More Science.  I'm just glad it didn't involved real fire and lava.

Dentist

We took Silas to a dentist today, not because he needed his teeth cleaned, but to get him used to the idea of going.

"Rinse and Spit"

He sat quietly with his mouth open.

Well done Silas!

Looking cool in his glasses, but I think his tongue is tired.

Ok Silas, you can close your mouth now! Ha ha ha

Asleep

Silas was in the car playing with his umbrella.

Then, things got a bit too quiet.

Upon further investigation, we discovered he was out cold!

Fixing a Chair

Silas surprises me sometimes when he is able to do things on his own.

Here he is tightening the screws on his chair with a wrench.
