Spring continues to occasionally become summer, and the boys are enjoying more and more time outside, whether in the backyard or at the park. Yesterday Z indicated he really wanted to be up in the tree, and was quite happy to sit in the crook of it for a few minutes while I took his picture. Tree climbing was one of my favorite childhood activities, though I'm moderately nervous about both the height and integrity of the mossy apple tree. For now, sitting is just fine with me. Z has also been slowly starting to master the art of pumping his legs to swing, and has even started to take an interest in sharing the swing with his brother -- so long as he gets to push:
O's ability to make long term and sometimes complex connections continues to astound (and occasionally confound) us! While he was taking his nap yesterday (he still takes some very impressive 2-plus hour ones), Meh had a piece of chocolate. When she went to get him when he woke up, he smiled at her, then curiously sniffed and declared "Mommy smells like chocolate. Mommy eat some chocolate! Eat some chocolate too!"On the topic of sleep, nighttime continues to be a bit of a challenge. 4:30 remains O's wake up time of choice, and he generally starts suggesting that we take him downstairs by 5 am; negotiating a later time is a dicey situation often leading to loud declarations of "I want to go downstairs daddy. Puh-lease!" Coupled with Z waking up once or twice a night (tummy trouble? bad dreams? We haven't been able to figure it out yet), sleep remains a precious commodity around here.
