The kids are finally old enough to play out in the backyard together without constant supervision and it is so nice to be able to let them go outside while we are cooking dinner or working in the kitchen. However, I say "constant" because they are professionals at finding new ways to give me a heart attack. Jonathon (aka: Monkey #1) figured out how to climb onto the roof of their playhouse by using the swingset as a stepping stool. Not to be left behind, Kayla (aka: Monkey #2) also figured out how to tackle this feat. This is now their favorite place to play in the backyard.
Kayla's vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds every day. I swear she comes up with a new phrase or statement that knocks my socks off on a daily basis. The latest occurred while I was in the kitchen. I had just set up the kids with one of their videos so that I could start making a dessert for the dinner I was preparing. I had just gotten all of my materials ready when I heard the distinct patter of little Kayla feet running into the kitchen. She put on the brakes, slid to a stop, looked at me like I was doing something wrong, and said "What are you doing Mommy?" I told her that I was making a cake for dinner and her whole face lit up! She made a 180 degree turn, ran to grab her chair and said "I make cake, too, Mommy! Me help!" So I had a lot of help making my cake!
Jonathon and Kayla have also rediscovered the fun of playing in the water. Being the sentimental person that I am I couldn't help but compare water pictures from last year to this year. They are growing up so fast? Who gave them permission to do that?
