Playing Together

A few days ago, Blake Grace and London spent much of the day playing closely together. In the morning, London wanted to crawl into the Pack-N-Play, which was up in Grace's room. Blake and Grace threw books and Ike (the 300 lb bear) into the Pack-N-Play and jumped in with her.









I love you.



I love you, too.



Trying to get that pinkie up.



It looks just like "Quiet Coyote" from kindergarten.

Then a few hours later, they climbed into the chairs that I had placed in a line in the living room, so I could sweep the kitchen. Blake was the conductor of the train, sitting in London's high chair and Grace and London were the passengers. When it was Grace's turn to be the conductor she charged an exuberant price to board the train. It was no problem for Blake, however. He paid the fee and took a seat behind her. London was delighted to be able to climb up onto one of these chairs by herself.

When I went in to pick London up from her nap, she surprised me by giggling and jumping and landing on her bottom. She kept jumping and falling down and Blake and Grace again wanted to play. So they climbed up into the crib with her and they all jumped as high as they could.

Later that night when Robbie came home, they all got into his car in the garage and drove around the world on many adventures.

- On that note, London has had no fear of Robbie's car lately. When he comes home from work she hears the garage door open and the door from the kitchen to the garage is often already propped open while I'm making dinner so the kids can ride their bikes around in the garage. So she runs as fast as she can toward his advancing car, hoping to be passed by me through the window to help Daddy drive the car from the driveway into the garage. "Hiiiiiii!" she yells as she runs toward him. He is very cautious any time he opens the garage now, knowing there may be an 18-month old redhead running right at him. And I dash as fast as I can when I hear the garage open to pick her up wherever she may be.
