packing

We got the kids mini suitcases in preparation for our summer travels. Of course they love toting them around and putting all kinds of things inside.

Interestingly they had very gender stereotypical toys inside. Baseball glove and ball and cars by R. Stuffed animals and a bunch of balls by S.

tele time!

We were 'good' and kept the twins from screen time until they turned 2. O, not so much. His favorite pastime is the TV or my phone and a sure way to entertain him while we get other tasks done. Our backup babysitter, we understand why households where families are barely keeping it together put their kids in front of the TV. It is magic. I'm fairly certain O gets more joy from Elmo than anything else in this world. He is obsessed. Sesame Street has created an addiction. Elmo may have been O's first word. And if I wrote something else in this blog, I'm now rewriting history.

S wanted her picture taken, so I happily obliged. If we're in a new phase of wanting pictures, I'm not complaining!

I think more food went in his belly than we cleaned off his face and arms...
