Curls

We have had a busy few weeks recently, and lots of new things going on for the boys. We still have some pretty solid routines that will probably be with us a long time, though, and enjoy the time we have at home with our guys. I took a few photos a while back during our pre-bedtime play.

Isaac loves pointing out the dinosaurs on these pajamas and roaring for us!

I remember Caedmon going through a phase of looking between his legs, and we're evidently there with our little guy now too. He thinks it's so interesting to check out the world from a different perspective!

Caedmon, as always, is paying close attention to details, and occasionally surprising me with what he discovers. While playing in the front yard one morning (yes, in their pajamas - we saw the cat out the window and there wasn't time to get dressed, he might leave before we got back outside!) he discovered a little june bug and picked it up to show me. He seemed to be pretty interested in the little guy, and I was impressed that he touched it, even though it was dead. Since then he's found another little beetle in the backyard and brought it to me, ready to identify his discovery.

We're rejoicing in the break from the intense heat! The guys are having a wonderful time playing outside, going for walks around the block, and just running around and being boys!

Of course, it's natural for boys to be daring and enjoy physical challenges - climbing, jumping, somersaulting, and the like. This trait is certainly not lost on our Isaac! Rather than riding his little car the other day, he was perched on top of the seat, holding on, and looking like he could almost feel the wind blowing in his hair!

Although his sweet locks weren't as curly as Caedmon's were at this age, Isaac still had some pretty adorable curls! Recently, though, they've seemed to be tickling his ears, getting tangled and hard to comb, and catching a good bit of food when he would put his sticky fingers on his head...so we decided it was time for a haircut. It took a couple of weeks for us to actually find an opportunity, and the willpower, to get out the scissors, but when we did we were a little stunned at what a big, grown-up looking boy we had on our hands!

Although both boys enjoy the outdoors, Caedmon seems to have a stronger pull to the sandbox these days. He has accumulated so many diggers out there, gradually even taking out the ones that are supposed to stay in the house, that some days he barely has room to dig!
