The ponytail is getting longer!
Danny has received his first injury at the hand of his big brother: a small scratch on his forehead that he incurred when Jimmy overzealously “pet” Danny.
Thankfully, Danny is no worse for wear. He laughs in the face of danger; or in this case, in the face of his linebacker of a brother.
The kids like to watch their daddy drive away to work in the morning. Today, per their request, Jim honked his horn for them on his way down the road. The kids didn’t hear the horn, however, and I explained that it’s hard to hear things from that far away. Susie looked up at me plaintively, and exclaimed, “He can’t hear my sweet little voice?” As my dad always said… …sometimes there’s no better toy than an empty cardboard box…
…or two…
…or three!
Even though it looks like Becky has a death grip on her brother’s neck, she’s actually cuddling him affectionately after he joined her in a makeshift “bed” she set up in our entryway. Jimmy soon squirmed out of her embrace, but it was cute while it lasted! Becky has always gotten a kick out of wearing multiple hats. Here she is topped off with two washcloths:
And it wasn’t that long ago she donned two sunhats!
Growing up in the California suburbs, I always wondered what it would be like to jump in a huge leaf pile. Now that I’m surrounded by deciduous trees in Connecticut, I know – it’s so much fun! And it’s even more fun to watch your kids jump in one!
Even cleaning up the leaves is fun, if you’re 18 months old and have a dad who does all the work!
Only a kid can turn a box of tissues into an ice-skating rink for her doll!
Here’s Jimmy’s latest trick: hiding. Only I don’t think he’s mastered the concept yet..
“If I can’t see you, you can’t see me!” |
