August 11, 2007




I made a bean box for the boys yesterday and it is definitely a big hit. They love it1 The adults find it irresistable too:).

I have also been letting them play in the water at the kitchen sink, which they love. I put towels on the floor to catch the splashes. I would rather clean up beans than water but they really love playing in the water too.








The bean box has a really nice lid and the handles of the box close up around the lid to hold it on. It seems to be just the perfect size for two little boys.













Here is a funny close up of Nick from yesterday. Hasn't he changed so much in the past 6 months?
















Here is Ben, playing in the bean box yesterday. He tends to get bored with it faster than Nick but he enjoys it for a while.


Both boys are so lovable and are offering lots of affection unprompted these days. It is so sweet and heart warming. They both love music so we listen to music every day. One of them always remembers to ask for it to be turned on.





Yesterday Ben and Nick both had to go for more shots. Ben had two and Nick had one. It is harder now because they are starting to remember the room where they get the shots and the lady who gives them. Nick was pretty upset even before he got his shot. He knew what was coming. Ben did too but not until just before. Ben is now caught up and does not have to have any more shots until 2009. Nick has to go back in September for two more and then he will also be caught up. I really hate shot days.

glad you are doing better. the kids look great. I was thinking of doing the bean box as well since the kids like the rice box that Mindy brings over once a week. K is 2 1/2 and O is 20 months old.
