Nap time for Isaiah is often just a time he spends in his room playing dress up or practicing his potty training (yeah right). This day, he came out of his room naked (fortunately, his shirt is covering the fun) and in this construction hat. I started laughing hysterically and grabbed the camera. What's so funny about Isaiah is that the kid never once breaks a smile.
Its hard to see here, but that is marker all over our computer monitor. Yes, it is quite exciting. My little man is officially a toddler artist. Once again, all you can do is laugh and embrace the Kodak moment.
Silliness is of course extremely contagious, and who better to catch it from than the King Of Silly himself - Ethan. Put these two boys together and you get hours of entertainment (better than cable TV, people). Last week, we got to hang out a couple of days with Ethan at the park. He and Isaiah went bug hunting and caught a rolli polli (I'm sure there is a better spelling for that). It was the highlight of our day.
Full of Laughs...
Luke is the giggliest (if that's a word) baby we know. The kid is so ticklish, you can't help but torture him. You can even get a laugh out of him just by looking at him sometimes. Its really fun. Isaiah gets a kick out of trying to make him laugh and then getting a huge grin on his face as a result. When you got one smiling and one laughing it really melts your heart. This really helps on those days when you have poop on the floor (potty training in progess), spit up all over your shirt (my regular perfume), naked children running around the house (thus our PG&E bill), and a house that looks like a hurricane came through it (picture sticky apple juice and crusty playdo all over). Lucky you, we pick and choose our kodak blogable (another new word) moments carefully. Do you really want to see Isaiah running around naked and pooping on the floor? Don't answer that.
"a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,"
Ecclesiastes 3:4
Tonight, we had a little party in Isaiah's bounce house. We gave him a little blow up bounce house for his birthday (he turned two on 12/21 - pictures to be blogged soon). Luke and Isaiah love to goof around in the bounce house with Daddy. Its part of their relaxing bedtime routine. To our utter delight, Isaiah and Luke really like each other. Luke's eyes literally light up when he sees Isaiah. Like a good big brother, Isaiah loves to help Mom take care of Luke. It will be so much fun watching them grow together as buddies, and eventually trouble makers. Hope you enjoy this little peak into playtime at the Toslands.
