Big Boys

When I look at some of the pictures I've taken in the past week, I realize my boys are getting so big. Nathan looks like a little man cruising around the furniture and he's too good at climbing the stairs. We have a gate at the top of the stairs, but not at the bottom. I've started placing a laundry basket at the bottom of the stairway to prevent him from making the ascent without my supervision.

On Wednesday Tyler and I went to a MOPS playdate at a comedy theatre where they put on a puppet show for kids during the day. It's all interactive and the kids even get to play parts in the story of the day. This month's show is Cinderella.

My shy guy didn't want to volunteer for a part, which was no shocker. I was surprised, however, that he walked right in toward all the other kids as soon as we arrived and took a seat on the floor right in front of the stage. He sat there next to some of the kids for the entire show while I sat in a chair next to other moms and kids. There was a time when he wouldn't have left my side, but he's growing up and I'm so glad to see him getting more comfortable in new situations and places.

At one point during the show, all the kids were given foam noodles to swing around. This was Tyler's favorite part because he got to stand up and expend some of that endless energy he possesses.

Making a rainbow

We found out the other night that Nathan loves to just roll around on/in blankets on the floor. And since he seemed to be having so much fun, Tyler had to give it a try, too.
