Sean and Aleece

Ah, 2year olds have lots and lots of energy, and they love to use it. So much so that when they get tired they try to pretend that they can still keep going. I love to watch Leif play and play and play. Sometimes I can just sit on the floor and Leif will climb all over me like I am a jungle gym, I don’t have to do a thing.

The other night Aleece and I brought the kids of the Chris and Michelle’s house. We had some great chili over there, but the best part of the night was watching Leif and Ayris play together. Both kids are just in the beginning stages of using their imaginations and they were playing off of each others imaginary play things. Sure they would often want to play with the same toy at the same time, but a gentle word from a parent and all was right. At one point Leif got so excited and had so much energy that he started running circles. Not running around anything, he just picked an open spot in the middle of the living room and ran in circles. Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round. Ayris just sat on the side and watched him, I am not sure if she thought he was crazy or if she was memorized by it.

I really love night like that where we can hang out with good friends and the kids have so much fun playing.
