My boys have so much fun together. They especially like playing with their Daddy.
Whatever Josh does, Connor thinks he needs to do too. If Josh climbs on his dad or in the chair, Connor thinks he needs to as well.
These two pictures along with the weather reminded me of a book I've read one too many times. "The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. I sat there with Connor. We sat there, we two. And I said, "How I wish we had something to do!" Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all."
"Then, out of the box came Thing Two and Thing One! And they ran to us fast. They said "How do you do? Then those Things ran about with big bumps, jumps and kicks and with hops and big thumps and all kinds of bad tricks."
If Josh is in the tub, Connor wants to be in the tub too. He's been following Josh into the bathroom ever since he could army crawl. For the most part, they play great together and Josh is such a sweet big brother.
Connor is getting better at climbing. He's able to climb on most furniture now, which makes things a little more difficult for me. We tend to put things on the furniture so he can't reach them and it isn't working very well anymore.
Here I thought Connor had figured out how to climb on the couch all by himself, but his Dad reluctantly admitted to helping him and then leaving him unsupervised. He had this look on his face like, "Thanks Dad, I was ready for a snack. Mom never gives me enough food!"
He's a little kid, but is a good eater! A very messy eater too. Unlike his brother, he does not mind getting his fingers dirty. In fact, he gets mad at me every time I clean him up after meals. Sometimes he'll smear his dirty fingers in his hair. Often he needs a bath by the time he is done eating.
So cute getting into his brother's stuff!
It is rare to see Josh voluntarily getting his fingers dirty, but I guess a little chocolate cake mix does the trick. He grabbed the bowl, took it in the front room, and dug in with both hands while watching cartoons. That was until I stopped him anyway.
Josh is really into Lego's right now. If you look closely, on the top of this vehicle you can see these tiny plastic ninjas his cousins gave him. He has carried them around everywhere and they have become his most prized possessions. With his Lego's he has built them a secret hide out and a vehicle to get around in.
