Gracie enjoys two twin boys that live down the street. In the pictures below she was dressed up like a ballerina playing with Davis while we babysat a while back.
The boys walk/run to school together now. I figure now that Jonathan is eight he can take on the responsibility of getting James there and through the gate. I’ve followed them with Ryan and Gracie a few times just to make sure they make it OK. The boys are good at lathering up with sunscreen and giving the little ones their “good-byes”. I just love those little people so much. Jonathan had a fieldtrip to LEGOLAND today so I used a sharpie to write my cell number on the bottom of his shoes in case of emergency. No phone call yet..
When I change Ryan’s diaper, he smiles and says, “Aaaah, poops!”
Ryan had taken James’ backpack into the back yard yesterday with a big smile on his face. This morning we found it back there. Nothing like a backpack full of gravel in the morning to say, “I love you”. I took him and Gracie to run errands this morning. At Costco, the guy boxing the food pointed out that our bulk of cheddar cheese had a bite mark (through the plastic, mind you) asking if I’d like a new one. I responded, “No, it’s fine, he did it" looking toward Ryan. Ryan gave him and the other guy at the check out a huge grin and with that, he instantly won them over.
Yesterday, I took the kids to a park. Ryan somehow managed to run off with James’ shoes and wore them around for a while - such a little jokester.
