True Grit's most famous scene Rooster (John Wayne) is facing those four men across the meadow, and he takes the reins in his teeth and charges

February 20th: Duke learned about brushing his teeth last week in class. He's cool with the big tooth brush, but his turtles brush is one for looking at and trying to paint the wall. Note to self...need to get bigger toothbrush.

"Have you ever heard of some fellows who first came over to this country? You know what they found? They found a howling wilderness, with summers too hot and winters freezing" John Wayne

February 18th: We had a touch of snow in Maryland, and by touch I mean 18". It has been exceptionally snowy this winter and it was the first time Duke has been able to enjoy it. He's not a fan of eating the snow or being in it too long. He loves watching it out of the window and the concept of it, but being in it...that requires him wearing shoes and mittens and he's not always down for what will keep him from getting sick.

What you don't see is there is a batman party going on, but as the party winds down all he wants is to watch the snow.

The backyard covered!

Duke is standing on top of a mound of snow so it's not a true showing of how deep the snow was.

Duke loves to ham it up for the camera, he thinks its funny to mimic videos and cartoons, here's him being real in the snow.

"Help"

John Wayne Trivia: "The Greatest Cowboy Star of All Time" was the caption to a series of comic books dedicated to him. The "John Wayne Adventure Comics" were first published in 1949.

February 4th: Duke is killing it at school and by killing it I mean he is sitting during circle time and not being as disruptive... I'm so proud of my little man!
