I received a spectacular Mama Day present that I forgot to write about. Mace started dancing this week. Really dancing.
I put on DCFC and he was doing the craziest dance move. Like a cross between the funky chicken and a body roll (any modern dancers out there?) He loves the music and totally freaks out whenever he hears a song he loves. When I was 4 months pregnant we went to a DCFC concert, I wonder if that is why he seems to love them as much as I do.
Owen has picked up the ability to perform long raspberries, even better open mouth kisses and do the Indian call (you know, patting hand on mouth while saying wawawawawa).
He is also obsessed with climbing and was found multiple times by multiple people on kiddie tables at the twin playdate we attended this week. He also has taken to swiping at table surfaces above his head to see what he can come up with. Fun times.
The new backyard access has been much appreciated by all,
Both boys love running through sprays of water and Mace drinks from the sprinkler head with great zeal. I will get a few shots of water fun as it looks like our heat has come upon us and it not letting up for awhile.
Nap times have been interesting, to say the least. Transitions are as hard for me as they are for them so I tell myself to take it one day at a time and not stress too much. My biggest concern is always for them and they are doing okay. A little tired, a little more cranky as they sort out their sleep needs, but doing okay.
Funny, they are sleeping now as I write this and the hard parts of today have faded back, leaving me with thoughts of the fun we had, their enthusiasm in all things, their utter joy in discovery and it makes tomorrow look very, very bright. Have a great weekend.

Friday : Recap on the boys
Yesterday we went to a great park, one that has a pretty big playground. Not truly appropriate for toddlers but cool nonetheless. I though I would see if Owen's amazing gripping ability would pan out on the monkey bars. The kid held on for ten seconds. My child is officially stronger than me at the age of twelve months, two weeks. Ha. He is unbelievably strong, I promise I will get a shot of it when the lens returns.
Mason has taken to stacking blocks 4 or 5 high. He calls his blocks "Buddy" and every time he places one he screams "buddy" and dances backward. We have video but Flickr video hates us. Um, now Flickr likes us so click to see video of the cutest Buddy ever.
We also were gifted a lot of outdoor toys and both boys get huge kicks out of being pushed on the tricycle and pushing each other on their new fire engine thing. The toy cracks me up, it has little buttons that tell the boys, "Look both ways when crossing the street," or "Call 911 if you need help". Never too early to prepare your children for the rigors of our modern world. Ah, innocence.
