It is so fun to watch kids grow up.
Kalven is really into toys. He does not have any favorite one but he likes them all. If he is in his round bouncy thingy and is getting upset I can usually distract him with a new toy, usually gives me an extra 5 min. Last night when I was feeding Kalven he was getting really crabby so I distracted him with a fling “oooooblblblblooooo” spoon. Kalven does not know what an airplane is yet so you only have to make some sounds and move the spoon around in front of him, he will get distracted and probably start laughing. That’s what happened last night, when he laughed I stuck the spoon in his mouth and he finished all his dinner. The other day Aleece showed me something really fun with Kalven. When he is laying on his back you hold your hand up above him so he can see it, then when he notices your hand you wiggle it a little. Kalven will start giggling in anticipation because right after that you reach down and tickle him!
Leif is just a wonder also. He is starting to be more gentile with Kalven and sometimes even asks to hold him. Potty training has not progressed much past just sitting on his little adapter chair, he just is not interested yet. Bath times are lots of fun. Leif gets all excited and will run up to the bathroom and pull his cloths off. Sometimes he likes to have Kalvens little baby tub in the bath tub as a tub in a tub arrangement. Leif will let us know when he is ready to get out and sometimes he can even get the towel down (we hung a hook at Leif height for his towel) . After baths we are trying to settle the kids down for bed so we like to read a book. Most nights Leif will grab his blanket, a pillow, and a book and go sit on the couch by himself and read with the book on the pillow and the pillow on his lap.
And that’s a typical normal day lately.
