Simon Poses with Bears

We're cleaning out to make room for another child...I was going to pass on these bears until Simon saw them and loved them! He has lots of fun playing with them; consequently, I worry not about their well-being, if they are broken...(since we were going to get rid of them anyway)
In these pictures, you can see how much Simon loves to pose! The secret is letting him see the picture on the digital camera after the shot is taken. He is wearing his training underwear with a plastic protector over it.
In these pictures, you can also see Simon's understanding of labor, birth, and life.
Notice the mommy bear on the rocking chair is lying down while everyone is watching her ... EXCEPT the daddy in the rocking chair who is facing the other direction with a cup that Simon calls coffee.
Hmmmm...
I asked Simon why the mommy is down and he said because of the baby, it is coming out.
At least he put a nurse up front. But, personally, I don't want this many people in the labor/delivery room; especially the mailman ????? (My dad has already commented that postmen do deliver ...)
Yesterday we had two successful uses of the toilet. My trick was warm water in a bowl that Simon gets to play with and pour on himself. Sounds weird, looks weird, but it is helping him get an understanding of what is supposed to happen :)
Last night, Simon had been in bed quiet for an hour, we assumed asleep, then we heard remnants and strains of "No more monkeys jumping on the bed" as he was singing. We couldn't resist going in there for another hug and prayer. Simon informed me then that Baby Evie was napping and that he would be quiet. Apparently, Matt had told him earlier that when baby Evie comes, she'll nap and Simon must not be loud. We'll see ... Maybe baby Evie will just end up being more flexible with background noise :)
