Spring has finally started to, um, spring, with a few warm days sneaking through the grey ones. The boys have been really enjoying getting to spend more time outside; they often want to check on the fairy door Meredith installed a few months ago, to see how our little neighbors are doing -- though unfortunately this often involves tromping through/flattening mommy's pretty and just-sprouting flowers. Then of course O has taken to the toy lawnmower, and thinks that those same flowers are the perfect items to mow. Z for his part has rediscovered the large blue ball, and enjoys sitting on it and then rolling/falling off it (forward or backwards is apparently equally fun). Here they are both incorporating Thomas the Tank Engine into their outdoor activities:
On the plus side, they've been doing fairly well with sharing -- taking turns on the swing, both playing in the playhouse, and even occasionally cracking each other up with their antics. Oh, and I don't know if it's just that I have a somewhat squinty smile that O is imitating or what, but when we ask him to smile for a picture, it usually ends up looking something like this -- silly man. Anyway, heavy duty outdoor playtime is always balanced with a bit of chillaxin', sometimes back inside the house with snacks, but several times now on the deck chairs, casually sipping on milk or juice while surveying the premises:
