Saturday night there was an impromptu campout in the backyard. Wm, Mike and Grampa (along with Ladybug n Turtle) set up the tent and attempted to sleep under the stars. Wm probably would have made it out there all night but his Daddy could not handle all of the mosquitoes. We will definitely attempt this activity again.
Wm loves anything to do with sports. He has great hand/eye coordination and throwing/kicking come very easily for him. Now that the weather is so nice, we spend most of our days outdoors playing soccer, baseball, basketball, and having races. Today I was able to catch some shots of him playing soccer.
Avery found his toes today; he was mesmerized for about 10 minutes by them. His eyes would grow wide when I would touch his little toes and then he would coo and smile.
William really is a great big brother to Avery. Wm shows great compassion for his little brother and is constantly showering Avery with kisses, sharing toys, and checking up on Avery to make sure that he’s o.k.
So, you know that silly prize games at the pizza parlor? You know, the one with the claw that you maneuver to grab the 5 cent stuffed animal…the one that nobody ever wins because the claw drops the prize inches before it reaches the chute?…Well, leave it to our 2 year old to figure it out and win the prize. Who would have guessed?
Monday night after family time at the skate park the gang all headed out for pizza together. Mike promised that Wm could play the silly claw game and with only a couple of attempts, Wm won a bunny.
Wm named his new friend Stripes (we aren’t sure why) and has not let go of him since. Wm talks with Stripes, they play games together, eat together, and sleep together. At one point today Stripes was tickling Wm (not sure how that happened, but we’ll go with it). Wm is absolutely in love with this little critter. It’s really too cute.
Can you guess which is Wm and which is Avery? More to come…just need the time to pull together the photos…time, time, time…someday it will come
