Rainy Morning

Fireworks

There's a gap in the treeline perfectly placed so we can see the city fireworks from our backyard.

The glow stick was more fun than the fireworks for Jack.  I don't think they have the same impact at this distance.  But for kids this young, you can't beat the convenience of watching in your pjs, waiting with toys and TV instead of a crowded lawn, and going straight to bed when they are done.

I call this one "Firework and a Crescent Moon."

Afternoon surprise

Sam has a fever!  Poor guy was burning up when we got home from lunch.  After nap I gave him some chilled, watered down juice.




Jack insisted I come up to see the zoo he made during quiet time.

Out of order?

I noticed the blogger app failed to post a couple things. The last two posts are actually from 6/30 and 6/26.

Guess who

There are strangers in my house today!






Water, water, everywhere

This week was water play at Creekside
Cubs.  Jack also told me they learned about water, such as "you shouldn't drink water from rivers. But you can eat the fish in rivers."  So wise.


We are chilling at home, having lunch.  Is Jack's smile morphing into Sam's?


Happy 4th of July!

This photo shoot was a bust.  They were all equally bad/humorous, so I'll post them all.








Handedness

Sam is clearly right handed.  It surprises me, because my experience with Jack is so different.  Whereas Sam already has a strong preference for holding toys, waving and dancing, and eating with his right hand, Jack STILL hasn't decided.  

The pediatrician says it's unusual at this age, but not a problem.  I wonder if he's truly ambidextrous, or if he prefers left but tries to copy others by using his right.  

Lately we are working on writing.  I think he has better results when he uses his right hand. Maybe he's just confused?  It's funny to watch him change hands.
