It is only appropriate that Calvin and Jack have been loving the book Five Little Monkeys lately. For better and for worse, our home has felt like a zoo these last couple weeks.
The "Better"
Two sweet little buddies who are constantly making me laugh!
Calvin has been building trains with cars, pillows, and everything else. His new favorite toy is an empty Kleenex box that he likes to fill the box with socks, wipes, and other small cloths. He's covered his truck train here with socks from his sock box.
Jack has been so playful! He laughs really hard when we say "A-bugga-bugga-bugga!" I love it when he laughs at his brother saying this! Here he was loving the laundry basket!
These wipes are perpetually in his hands. I think it is sweet, but they are all over the house and car now!
The Worse:
We've been having nap time battles with Calvin. Now that he has starting being destructive while out of bed, we'd had to enforce that he needs to stay in bed during nap time. I think we are finally on the right track, but after many days of no napping, lots of crying, some spanking, and missed trips to the pool, Calvin is staying in bed more.
It is so hard to be the enforcer when this sweet face greets me behind the door, but the battle now is because I didn't do it earlier. I've learned the hard way.
And, I guess this does not have to do with a zoo, but our friends Amanda and Ellis and their kids Mac and Corrie just moved to Virginia. Cal has been asking for them, and we all miss them! What a blessing to have them so close for 2 years!
