Playing soccer

Liam loves soccer. I've never seen a kid play a sport where he's smiling the whole time.

Skateboarding

For Liam's birthday, he requested a skateboard, and Grandma C. delivered. Of course, I couldn't get Liam one and not get the other daredevil one too. I could just see the fighting if I didn't get Jonah a skateboard. After all...he does all his own stunts. (gotta get a pic of him in that T-shirt).


Mean mommy that I am, I made them wear pads and helmets too.

"When do I get my skateboard?" When you stop eating grass, I think.

Both boys are also playing soccer this year, but I've only got pics of Jonah at the moment. Because they both play on the same morning within an hour of each other, I haven't been able to get to Liam's practices yet. Pics of that upcoming.

An impromptu playdate

My friend A. stopped by the other day to pick up some diaper covers and she had her son B. with her. B. is a week older than Corinna but quite a bit bigger (16 lbs versus Roo's 14 1/2 lbs). The two were a treat to watch because now they actually can interact with each other. Corinna would just grin when she'd look at B.

B.: Mmm...tasty tractor. Corinna: Yeah, well this makes noise.

Corinna to B: Wow! That is cool! Can I have that? I have brothers and they taught me how to share. Promise I'll give it back.

Corinna: Well...tractors are cool, but taxis are even better. B.: Hey...this thing does make noise.

Caution! Construction Ahead!

It's only the first day of spring, and already, there's major construction underway. At least I don't have to navigate orange barrels to appreciate this project.

Corinna says she would oversee the project, but it takes away from time she could otherwise spend napping, nursing, cooing, pooping, or drooling.
