Summer Fun!

We've been thoroughly enjoying the sunshine, Fisher's hair is bleaching out already, if only his momma could have some of that blond. We've been playing in the sand box and have become regulars at the park. We have playgroups that we attend pretty consistently where Fisher (and Mommy too) have a great group of friends. We've really been working with Fisher on taking turns and sharing, what a tough life lesson it is, I think it totally contradicts human nature, he can be such a little cave man sometimes! But I do need to give him credit, I think he's getting it. I try to prepare him before hand by talking to him on our drive to our destination about there being other kids there who will want to play with toys too, so he'll need to take turns. In fact this morning just as we pulled into the parking lot to the church where playgroup is held without my prompting he said, "Mom I don't want to share." Apparently he knew "The Sharing Talk" was coming, we talked about it a little more and he said, "Okay, I'll share." And you know what he did, he played so well with the other kids. I'll take life one small victory at a time. Look at my angel!


Noah's turning into quite a little charecter, he's one happy little boy. He loves being on the move and thinks the world of his brother. Last week Andy got a little video clip of the two of them playing a game they started on their own where Fisher went to the top of our little slide and rolled the ball to Noah who was at the bottom. Noah couldn't roll it back so Fisher would go head first down the slide into his brother and they would both roll giggling on the ground and then do it again. It was so cool to "catch them" having so much fun together, not because Andy or I told them they should play nice, but because they were totally enjoying the others company. I can't wait to see more of those moments as they grow. Speaking of the backyard, here's one of Noah getting around with a little help from one of his toys.
