Asher, Asher, Asher....

This is how I found Asher in his bed a few nights ago. He is one of those kids who likes to sleep with EVERYTHING! The items he had chosen for that night were his baby, his mini football helmet, baby Minnie, a puzzle and an American flag. He of course had his "recipe box" full of plugs (for those of you not familiar with that term, that is what we call binkies in our family).  He has to have a plug in his mouth and then usually holds one in each hand with the nipple of the plug between his index and middle finger.  He will then alternate them throughout the night.  Notice how he has obviously done this already as one of his plugs is resting on his chest.  How kids sleep with this much crap is beyond me, but at least he sleeps through the night right?

Asher and his helmet

Five or six years ago, Ryan got this replica Utah football helmet.  It is a real helmet and super heavy.  It has been in Asher's room on his dresser and the past two weeks he has been wearing it around the house.  He loves it and has to hold it up by the face mask so that he can see (and because it is so heavy).  We have to play catch with the football, he does it one handed because he has to hold the helmet up.  If it is not on his head, he is carrying it around in by the face mask.  This kid is so funny and cute! He makes us laugh constantly! I love this boy!
