Tucker is such a ball of joy and such a source of frustration all at the same time. We have been battling him actually sitting to eat many of his meals. Not just sit, but to eat them. Not every meal, but many meals. He is just too busy wanting to run around and play. It is the one thing that makes me crazy that he does.
But then he'll go and do something like this...
...and love his brother so well at such a young age, and it makes me forget that he just wouldn't eat his lunch and wanted to do something involving "choo choo" instead.
Thankfully this guy...
...has been such a joy! He's so easy going for the most part and loves to smile and elicits tons of smiles from others as well:)
One of the benefits of being home with the kids is getting to see friends more often and getting to do fun things with Tucker. We met my friend Danielle (she is just finishing up her maternity leave-we teach together) at an indoor play place. Tucker started to say her kids names which is so cute Pophie/Ophie (sophie) and Noona/Nona (Noah) and he just wanted to follow Sophie around and play with her. Such a fun place!
On a different note-ever see one of these in the bathroom? It's a chair for your kids while you pee! Awesome!! Yet gross all at the same time...
Tucker had such a blast playing with all of these different things!
One of the few times that he is actually still! I love the concentration that he has...that and the tool belt!
Lunch with Sophie:)
He's gonna be a heart breaker:)
I've been trying to come up with some more things to do at home besides just play with toys-because it gets boring for me and probably for him too:) Yesterday's attempt at a new activity was painting! He liked it for a bit, but it was making me crazy that he was mixing all the colors...I had no choice but to get used to it quickly:)
Todays activity was much more successful! We played with dried beans. He tried to eat them a couple times so this is definitely an activity that needs some supervision, but he LOVED playing with them. He sat there for about an HOUR (something he NEVER does!) and just filled and dumped and we hid matchbox cars and dug them up and used his toy loader and dump truck to move the beans around too. Thankfully I thought to put a sheet down where we were playing-it caught all the beans he dumped as he explored and made for super easy cleanup! Definitely one thing to repeat!
I guess I'll have to start patrolling pinterest to come up with some other fun "do it yourself" activities!
