All Day Play

No shortage of play here. That's for sure. While Theo was at reserves yesterday Ben and I played while Hunter napped for two hours, then Hunter and I played while Ben napped for 2 hours. Then, we all played together until dad came home. I did spend the first 4 hours of the day 5-9am cleaning like a fool. The kids hate when I clean. They get somewhat ignored, and it drives them mad, so I had to play with them all afternoon. Rather play than clean anyway.

Hunter and I played in the sand, and played with the ball. He repeatedly said "Bah" when I tried to get him to say "ball." That's possibly a word for him. So cute.

Check out how Hunter reacted to the neighbor's lawnmower. Hilarious:

Love how good at standing up and walking the littlest one is getting. He stood up without holding on to anything yesterday. I was surprised. He's determined to pass-up his brother. The faster he moves, the more likely that becomes.

I also put away a dozen stacks of laundry yesterday afternoon. To accomplish this task I have to put the boys in Ben's room and close his monster sized gate. During this time Ben picked out his own outfit. I planned on leaving him in his jammies all day? So? Well, he wanted to wear his "Thomas outfit." Aunt Bonnie picked up his adorable et of overall shorts. I still had them on the hanger with the tags b/c we've only had 1-2 shorts days this year. Ben removed the tags, and the hanger, and handed it to me, and said, "Mom, I wear Thomas outfit." Okay, dude. I said, "Sure, you can wear your Thomas overalls." He looked at me and asked, "Not outfit?" I figured out he was trying to learn what to properly call them. What 2-year-old cares about this? I explained that, yes, it was an "outfit" but the "type of clothing" it is can be called "overalls." I have these moments when I feel like I'm teaching 4th grade with him. Cracks me up.
