After traveling back from the beach last weekend from being gone for an entire week, we spent most of our time at home this weekend. We cooked a few good meals, actually watched two movies (a record for Jason and I these days!) and played outside between rain showers. Tyler loves playing outside after it rains. He rides his bike through the rain water puddles in the street and plays in his newly converted water table. The table was a sand table until a storm blew away the lid for the table, so now it is a water table! While playing in the water table, Tyler found a bug and put it in his bug catcher. Then, he preceded to fill up the bug catcher with water and bits of grass. When I asked what he was doing, he said his bug needed water to drink and grass to eat. I tried to explain that the bug was dead because of all of the water but his 3-year-old mind couldn't comprehend the idea of dead. He said, "Yeah Mommy, it's dead, but it's legs are moving and it needs water to drink." I love his innocence. I wish it would last forever!
Matthew spent the weekend trying to adjust to formula bottles, which he'll only take 3 ounces of no matter what we do, and get into some sort of nap routine. At this age, Tyler was on a set schedule but it's so much different this time around. Matthew kind of lives around Tyler's activities...going to the pool, playing outside, etc...so he lacks a real schedule. He's got to learn to take good naps in the next month before he goes to big boy school (a.k.a daycare) in August! I had to share a picture of Matthew last night in the Baby Bjorn. It was his bedtime but we were outside talking to neighbors so, as you can see, he fell asleep in the Baby Bjorn. (See what I mean about schedules and living around everyone else's schedule?) I always hated to see babies asleep in these carriers because it looks so uncomfortable but he was happy as a lark! I didn't leave him that way for long, I promise!
We had a great weekend. Tyler loves his brother and always wants to play with him. I like this picture of both boys laughing. I can't wait until they can actually play together but I definitely don't want to rush these baby days!
