SprayGround

These little boys love the water! We had so much fun with friends this morning at the Sprayground. There were lots and lots of children!

Rest Time

Our three year old cannot fall asleep at night if he takes a nap. This means if he takes any sort of nap, 15 minutes or 2 hours. Today, I took him to his room for "rest time" at 1:15. I told him to do anything he wanted, except get into his bed. Well, this was the scene I found at 1:30. I think he played for 5 minutes...

The Old Ball Game...

These little boys love baseball games. They have learned the baseball song and we often hear Knox singing it to himself in bed. We weren't sure how they would do this year, but they sat through 9 innings and sampled pretty much every goodie you can get at a baseball game!

Golf

Eli has put a lot of time into his new golf clubs! His Daddy takes him to the range a lot, and often it is just the two of them. Eli doesn't hesitate to remind Knox that he can't play golf yet since he's too little. The real reason Knox can't play is because he can't swing right-handed clubs. Apparently, he is going to at least play sports left-handed, just like his Daddy.

Eli calls the driving range, the "golf performance". We aren't sure where he learned this name...His Paas takes him to the range too. It is so funny to see him imitate both of his teachers! The funniest part is he has already picked up on how funny it is to aim for the tractor picking up balls on the range...

Knox-still a mess...

His Daddy will not be impressed with me putting these pictures on our blog...We were wrapping up dinner with friends a few weeks ago and Knox disappeared with some of the older girls. This is how he returned. It was too funny not to document. He loves attention like this, he is such a mess. Recently, in an appointment for Eli's speech I asked about Knox's tendency to talk extremely loud, bordering on yelling. The therapist asked me a few questions about his other behaviors, like, "Is he wild by nature?", "Does he like to jump on furniture?", "Is he often rambunctious?". Of course the answer to these questions was a meek, yes. Of course in this same visit Knox was whispering to Eli about a potato head. Figures. She then told me that his tendency to speak loudy was totally behavioral and I better get it in check. If not, he can potentially do long-term damange to his vocal cords. Wow, exactly what I wanted to hear....
