Practice Makes Perfect

There are several things that I love about this video.  First, the background story.  Davis has wanted to whistle for several months.  Until just recently, he used to make a whistle face then make a "whistle-like noise" pretending to whistle.  He did it all the time: in the car, while playing, and (the funniest) while sitting on the potty.  One day, on accident, he actually whistled while making that face.  He was so proud that he had figured it out that now he whistles all the time and shows everyone how he can actually whistle.  Parker, the sidekick, is not happy when he can not participate or parrot something Davis is doing.  He quickly discovered that if he blows into our play doctor otoscope - it makes a whistle.  Thus, if he ever hears his brother whistle, then he is quick to retrieve his whistle tool and chime in. It's a crack up.
Now other funny things about this video - beside the obvious - are:
Davis "nudging" Parker at the end as if to say "don't steal my thunder"
Grayson staring up at me like "why are those boys so crazy?"

Okay that was a laugh out loud. Davis was so serious about his whistling on "camera," Parker so serious about not being left out (being #2 and all :) and Grayson with his ever CHUNKIER cheeks. :) He is looking less like Davis these days. Anyway, classic...!

I love that and the best part is it is sooooo familiar! The big brother in this house is REALLY good at making sure his thunder is not stolen....esp. when he prays. I'm starting to understand why first borns are the way they are :).

Very funny, Davis looks very big in the video. And just as an FYI I don't think babies are suppose to lay on pillows, if he decides to roll it would be bad. :)
