Summer Fun

The boys had a fun day staying at home with Mommy.  They played around the house till mid-morning and then headed outside to play in the wading pool & sand box  while mom mowed the lawn & worked in the garden.  The tomatoes I picked made it as far as Eli's mouth, he loves veggies!  Next we headed out to run errands & stopped by Daddy's office to say "hi" and dropped off his lunch. After lunch the boys took a great nap while I finished up mowing the rest of the yard. 

The boys played so well with each other today.  Over the last few weeks we've noticed how much better they actually "play" with one another.  Until recently they would each do their own thing. What we think has changed is that Avery has evolved into a two year-old toddler and is now able to do more of what Eli normally does & can understand most of what Eli would like him to do.   However there are still times when they are not on the same page.  Take for example today, Eli was pretending to be at a hotel and Eli wanted Avery to take a "nap", immediately Avery jumped off the bed, said "no" and made a quick dash out the bedroom before Eli could catch him.  Needless to say Avery avoided Eli for a while in fear that he may have to take another nap.  They are so much fun.
