With it being July, our activities lately have been very much determined by how much heat I am willing to take. Even the boys are very easily convinced to come inside for a cool-off break and cold glass of water when we're playing outside. That being said, we're still outdoors a good bit, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons.
The sandbox continues to be a popular choice with the boys, particularly late in the day when that part of the backyard has wonderful shade. Their excavator and cement truck are typically two of the first toys they select, along with a couple of front-loaders.
We have been so amused lately by these guys! Isaac is getting to a really fun place with his ability to communicate and his personality. One morning this week Daniel had showered before work and was sitting and talking to the boys for a few minutes before he finished getting ready to go out the door. Isaac noticed his wet hair, and said, "Dad, your hair is handsome!" We thought that was pretty cute, and they played for a few more minutes. Then Daniel said he was going to go finish "getting handsome" to go to work, and Isaac emphatically piped up, "No, Dad, you already handsome!!"
One day I heard Isaac giggling and laughing in his room, and when I peeked in, he was rolling back and forth on his back on the floor, holding a large stuffed koala bear on top of himself. He was saying, "No, koala, DON'T TICKLE ME! Stop, stop!" All the time he continued to laugh and roll around. I have to think he could have overpowered his attacker if he really wanted!
