January adventures

Well, it’s the first day of Febuary so here is some photos of our January adventures. 

One morning the boys decided they didn’t want to eat in their highchairs but rather at the table.  We did try to graduate them to the big table but they are much happier with the small table.  We still eat dinner in the highchairs but it’s a start. 

We’ve also started doing some painting.  We started out on the patio (I made sure the sheet was down so we don’t have to scrub the pavers for the Home Opens) and now that we have an easel (thanks Grandma for a great birthday present) we do lots of drawing with chalk out there.  I will put some paper up there for them soon and we will see how they go painting standing up. 

The boys are getting very keen to “help” mum and dad.  They helpget their high chairs out at meal times and with cleaning and with watering the plants, or feet, when we go outside. 

We got some great books for Christmas and thank you so much for them all.  Quite often when it goes quiet I will look around and they are both sitting up on the couch reading a book each, but here they are up on the bed. 

They also love watching Daddy do magic, when he turns the sprinklers on and off.  I’m not sure that they would want to be outside when they are on but they do love watching them from inside the house. 

And the boys are 2 now so we are thinking about toilet training.  Not seriously thinking, but the potties are out if the boys decide they are at all interested in them.  They do tell us when they have done a pooh and have a dirty nappy.  Just got to get that connection to happen before they go.  Easier said than done     

And here are some pictures of the boys drawing on the new easel.  Brock gets very serious and concentrates and loves the duster.  They both seem to like the pink chalk the most. 

I hope you all enjoy.  Til next time.
