Monkey See, Monkey Do!

It is amazing how much Boy 2 is watching and learning from Boy 1......good and bad! Boy 1 likes to watch himself brush his teeth in the Mirror. I guess we all do that, but at his height the only options are the full length mirrrors. So now Boy 2 has to be right in front of big brother and do the same. It is amazing how Boy 2 is scrubbing back and forth so quickly after watching Boy 1 for awhile.

Now for the bad. These two are like bats screeching out for each other in the dark. They have their own language, as soon as one yelps out the other replys. It's funny when they are in different rooms and one screeches and the other simply replys without missing a beat of what they were doing. This video shows how they can play off each other in close proximity.................all the while Boy 1 manages to get his foot stuck in his short bus helmet.

Just Some Funny Pics

Boy 2 is into exploring anywhere he can get into. I was sitting in the living room yesterday after his short 30 minute nap and the next thing I knew he had himself in the tray of Boy 1's work Bench.

It took boy 1 more than an hour the other night to fall asleep! When we went to bed this is how we found him......................just like hanging from a cross with his new Knights helmet by his side. It was my fault for leaving the helmet with him at bed time, which is why he stayed up playing so much.

Boy 1's First Sea Dogs Game

Today Carey and Boy 1 took me to a Portland Sea Dog's (Boston Red Sox Double A affiliate) game. This was my Fathers Day gift. I figured Boy 1 was old enough to try a game. Carey and I never figured he would survive all 9 innings...........but he did. He almost didn't though, in the bottom of the 8th he said that he was ready to go home. So we packed up and started going, only to get to the bottom of the grandstand and he said he was only kidding. So we marched back-up to our seats and watched the rest of the game. We were very happy with how well he did at the game. As expected many trips up and down to the bathrooms, concessions and souvenir stand but we could not have been happier with how well he watched and tried to learn the game.

The Sea Dogs lost the game 8-3.

Sharon's (Grammy) 60th Birthday

Careful where you swing that knife mom. These are the tactics she uses to keep dad in line!!

Happy 12th Birthday Kevin
