May 29, 2007 - On & Off, On & Off...







The boys have a new game!  On and off, on and off the step. On and off, on and off the light switch.  Oh what fun!!

The only issue is that they both want to play with the switch at the same time and then someone ends up falling off of the step and crying.













Ben is still working on the most efficient way to climb that step.  This is not necessarily the most efficient way to do it....still learning.















On and off, on and off go the lights.


















Look at me mom! Look what I can do!















And then I enjoy wiping my hands all over the wall.  (For some reason, he likes the feel of the wall, so he rubs his hands around on it.)  But isn't he just so cute?!!
















Aren't I cute??  Really, who could ever get upset with that face?













Ben, what does a monkey say? Ooo ooo ooo ooo!

They know lots of animal sounds now. They also have learned how to put almost every shape into the more complex shape sorter that we have. It has ten different shapes, some are very similar and some only fit in one direction so it has been a bit of a challenge for them. I am amazed at how quickly they have learned it though. They love to do it again and again.













My turn!














And now, I will sit here and look cute and allow you to take some pictures of me and my lovey!

Our little Nick is definitely a people person. He loves hanging out with people and is not as likely as Ben to go play by himself and keep himself entertained. He is also a little flirt, always waving and smiling at people when we are out and about. He would get upset if a stranger wanted to hold him, but he is very happy to smile and wave and put on a little cute performance for them from a distance.








And he never sits still for a minute. Busy is his middle name. I predict he will have a great sense of humor and will love to laugh (he already does). He also may be a little less likely to want to dig into his studies:).

On the other hand, we think Ben is just the opposite. He enjoys hanging out with us, but also likes time to play on his own. If we have been out and around people, when we get home, Ben will go play by himself for a while. Ben loves to sit and look at books by himself and wants to be read to A LOT.

Nick may let you read a couple of pages but will start turning pages too fast or will take off with the book. It is too funny how different they are.








He is so quick, he runs everywhere he goes.

Ben has recently started running also, so they are keeping me very busy these days.

I love watching them learn new things and they are such quick learners. They are a lot of fun!

Ah, the lightswitch game. Nothing could be more fun for a toddler. Lyra still grabs at every other light switch we walk past.
