I decided to let the boys "finger paint" with chocolate pudding on their high chair trays tonight. Isaac was willing to play with his with a spoon, but did NOT want it on his hands. Connor, on the other hand, started squishing it between his fingers as soon as it hit his tray. He then proceeded to create his work of "art".
The temperature has been around 105 the past couple of days, so I gave the boys popsicles for the first time earlier this week. They didn't really know what they were supposed to do with them. Isaac seemed to want eat his like corn on the cob while Connor grabbed it with his fist & shoved it in his mouth.
Connor is definitely our water baby. When we went to the beach, he ran right into the ocean. When we set up the pool on the deck, he's the first one in. When I wash their hair, he grins like a fool as I pour a cup full of water over his head. Last night as he lay on the bathroom counter for me to dry him off after his bath, he discovered the spray bottle of water that I left on the counter. He had so much fun spraying himself in the face with it. He would laugh every time. After he got down, I still let him play with it a bit...
The boys are to a point where they like to play together more & more. They will laugh & chase and it is the cutest thing. At the same time, everything must have its opposite, and their relationship is no different. Isaac is often more dominant when it comes to taking what he wants. He is constantly taking things from Connor & Connor often lets him without so much as a whimper. In turn, I think Connor is learning that he can torment his brother in much more subtle ways. In this video, Isaac gets the table & chair in just the "perfect" spot. When Connor sits down, he looks at Isaac with a taunting, defiant look and moves the table just to make Isaac furious...
Connor fell & bonked his forehead today. We have this little gel pack that we keep in the freezer for just such occasions. After I put it on his head a few times he decided he could handle it himself. Who needs moms anyway?
Tonight as I was dressing the boys for bed, Isaac didn't want me to put his jammie shorts on. Since he loves hats, I decided to try them on his head. He liked that idea much better. Connor decided to join in the fun as well.
The weather here in the Spring can be strange. Early this week we got up to the high 60's during the day. Today it was in the high 90's. We set up a little pool for the boys for everyone's entertainment. They were both very leery of this pool at first, but eventually decided it was loads of fun...
