Andrew built a marble track on our front steps with Milo and Oliver while Emil tried repeatedly to knock it down. I took him for a walk down the block so they could have some peace, but the whole time he kept repeating in a sad little voice, &#8220;Miss Papa! Want Papa!&#8221; so we weren&#8217;t gone long. That one sure is a papa&#8217;s boy!<\/p>\n<p>By Saturday evening, Milo was well enough to partake in quite the dance party in our kitchen. Andrew took some video of it which I intend to post&#8230; Oliver will be mortified some day, but it sure is hilarious!\u00a0<a title=\"DSC_0068\" href=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5538\/10125647483_4dae47ed0e.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5538\/10125647483_4dae47ed0e_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0068\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0071\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3794\/10125453034_3af1ffa734.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3794\/10125453034_3af1ffa734_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0071\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0072\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7298\/10125652053_25001d10db.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7298\/10125652053_25001d10db_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0072\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0081\" href=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7329\/10125459564_538038492e.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7329\/10125459564_538038492e_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0081\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And look what we found!
