A few days after the last post I let the boys play in the pool naked and with the slide. The slide was a bad idea. It's really fast and the ground is pretty hard when you come down that fast. I'm omitting the video of Aiden going down the slide and crying.
Eli has learned how to blow on Aiden's train whistle. He loves it.
I'm also trying to teach Eli how to use the snack cup. He will stick his hand in there but doesn't understand he needs to grab the stuff in there. Instead, he plays with it and then takes his hand out and then tips the cup like he's drinking out of it. A few fall out and then he picks them up and eats them. I'm hoping he doesn't think this is how he eats out of it.
Non-napping Aiden fell asleep in Nana's arms. That little booger is killing me with the naps lately. I let him (and Nana) sleep for about 30 min.
The picture at Aiden at the dinner table with his arm over his head is his new thing. He does this when he thinks he is in trouble or not answer me. It's kinda funny and I have no idea where he learned it from.
Aiden was cracking me up last week. He put his chair in the recliner chair and decided to wear his sunglasses. What a special boy!
Brad came back on the 9th after 6 weeks away. I picked up Brad from base and then we went to get Aiden at daycare. Aiden was so happy to see Brad. He ran up to him and said, "daddy," and gave him a huge hug. It was so sweet. We then went to pick up Eli and he was also glad to see daddy. Daddy coming back = total success. We went home and enjoyed the rest of the day.
I bought Aiden a new Gator outfit and he didn't like it. He said the letters "hurt" and were "too tight." I washed it and he'll wear it now thankfully. I had to take it off and put on his Jersey so he could be in the gator spirit last week.
Both boys wanted Brad's attention and they got it. Aiden and daddy wondered around in the back yard. Our neighbor helped me put up
Daddy and Eli enjoyed some time together too.
Eli has been standing up in his hippo lately looking outside. There isn't much to see besides our neighbors house but he still likes to look.
Aiden spent over an hour playing with Play-doh the other day. He was having lots of fun and Eli wanted so bad to see what Aiden was doing. Eli eventually went back down to the floor and played with a car.
Brad was invited in to the pool by Aiden last weekend. Aiden really wanted Brad in the pool. They had fun playing with the hose.
Daddy also got to see the new nerf water gun Aiden has and was squirting him with it. All in all, good times were had by the boys in (and out) of the pool.
I thought it would be fun to take a picture of Eli in Brad's boots - no reason. It just sounded like a fun idea.
Aiden has the game Memory and has started to want to play it all the time. He plays a modified version and I'm not sure he'll ever learn a different version because he likes to play his own. He puts them all out on the couch and tries to find a match and puts the match in the box. It keeps him occupied for a while but he freaks out if Eli comes close to the couch and yells "no touch!"
I've been having a really difficult time with Aiden and napping lately. He wants to have his lights on all the time and wants to just play during nap time. I'm getting so tired of it. The other day, Brad found this in Aiden's room when he went to go tell him to lay down in bed. This picture is of a partial clean up already. He had powder EVERYWHERE - even on the walls. I had to vacuum powder out of his bed, off his curtains, inside his legos .... everywhere. I have started a prize box and if Aiden follows the rules during nap time and bedtime, he gets to pick a prize when he gets up. It's working at bedtime but not naptime yet. Hopefully it will catch on soon.
With my mom in town to watch the boys, Brad and I escaped to the Jags vs Broncos game. We were minorities of course even though Tebow had a decent following. It was so hot when we got there. I thought I was gonna sweat to death and I've been to dozens of games in G'ville and this rivaled for the hottest game ever. With the heat index, it was about 100 degrees when the game started. After about 1 hr in the blistering sun, some clouds rolled in and it was great...until it got really dark and started to lightening. They stopped the game and we decided to leave before we got soaked.
The second picture was taken on our way out of the stadium. I did spray paint my hair orange for Brad.
When we got home, Aiden wanted to go outside and take Bronco for a short walk. It was raining still but Aiden insisted upon going.
Eli is starting to feed himself some. It's great. We have to put food on a fork and then put it on his try. It appears, as of right now, we may have another lefty on our hands. We aren't sure of the statistics but it's got to be pretty amazing that two right handed people, who both have parents that are both right handed, have to left-handed kids!
When we went in to check on Eli the other day, he was sleeping and cuddling with his angel so I had to take a picture of it. Too precious.
We did celebrate Eli's 1st birthday yesterday and I'll post info about that in the next day or so. I've been behind with the blog since Brad has been here (which I am SO thankful for).
