Sometimes when I see the boys' pictures I think to myself hhhmm...their hair is a little too long. But then I think, if it weren't so long, could we do this with it?
Some afternoons its hard to keep them happy. And its hard to get them to eat much besides the same 4 items over and over. So we play a few games to make dinner fun.
No wait. These aren't games. This is straight-up teaching, but thankfully they seem to enjoy it.
We talk about bowls vs. plates. See, bowl is round on the bottom.
And this is a grater. Touch it! He's not so sure.
No really, touch it! Mommy's not kidding.
Grady would rather just touch the cheese.
OOOOOH, he said. Momma gwate the cheese.
And make a sammich! That was supposed to be grilled, but he said no, he wants it just like that.
Meanwhile, someone else has taken to the ladle. See how it is round on the bottom too, Cole? His tongue is sticking out because he's saying laaaaaadlllllllleeeeee.
And he bird-pecks at the grated cheese he insisted on having. A non-grilled grilled cheese sammich, with a side of cheese.
And back to playing with the ladle. Laaaddddlleeeee.
Then he graciously shares the ladle with his brother.
And the round bowl gets soup.
Those noodles are hard to get on a spoon, though. For real.
After a full meal one must engage the mind with some imagination play. Meet our local powice man and twain 'ductor.
I sat down to do a full blog but this is turning into a photo+caption type entry, and those aren't my favorites. My mind is on tomorrow, which is the boys' 3rd (THIRD!) birthday. So, I leave you with a last few pictures before I get back to kiddie crafting prep.
We started warming up our present opening muscles last night when we opened a little gift from GG and Grampie.
Wonder what it is....
A Mickey shirt! Just like our party! We can't wait to wear those tomorrow.
See you all tomorrow!
