The trains have been very popular in our house lately--the boys (mostly Braden!) are deeply in love with Thomas. They do a decent job sharing the trains--I think we're going to have to put train parts on the boys' Christmas lists!
These pictures are also a testament to how important it is to get your setting right in camera and look for places with good light. The boys are playing in the exact same spot--but this second set was on a sunnier day where they could be lit with natural light. Much prettier.
And also, Braden's curls kill me.
They really do a pretty good job sharing--Finley is getting better about not taking things from Braden, and when Braden demolishes stuff he reacts much better... complaining to me rather than tackling. I think that's an improvement.
Neither of the boys are big enough to pedal our tricycle, but they really love to sit on it.
And this is what happens when I ask Finley to hug Braden. Braden wasn't a fun of the hug.
In one of the sweeter moments of the Hurricane, Finley really wanted to fix my table. He got his tools and a flashlight to do his work. Of course, Braden hustled over to "help."
Lately, Braden has thought it's funny to tackle Finley. He'll try to lay on him and tickle him.
They both think it's hilarious. It mostly just includes them giggling, but it's very sweet.
I'm so glad I get to spend my days watching these two play--and more and more figure out how to play together!
Several things about this KILL me. 1. Braden's curls. 2. Fixing the table. 3. The wrestling. BROTHERS.
ReplyDeleteAlso Braden's snotty nose. He's on antibiotics now.
DeleteSo precious. I love the fixing the table. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteYou should just title this blog, "Why Nanette should have a second baby." because that's how I read it.
So adorable.
FYI: the cute playing together is like 2% of the time. There is also 10% the time where both kids are whining, twice as many kids wake up in the middle of the night, twice as many kids poop... so don't get ahead of yourself. :) Two is great, but they also drive me double-crazy sometimes!
DeleteGreat post. I love Braden sitting in the middle of the curve on the train track! And the curls. Adorable. Finley is quite the helper . . .
ReplyDeleteI think Nanette is on to something! Great pixs, Rachel. Miss you all.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Karen. LOVE him sitting in the middle of the train tracks. And the curls, too. ADORBS.
ReplyDeleteI think he thinks that he is supposed to sit there--and it makes Finley upset! It is prime real estate I guess!
DeleteWow, I can tell by the under side of that table that it is the same one my grandmother and eventually my mother had in their dining rooms! The table and mirror are the only pieces that have survived in my family over the years and it is so cool to see it in someone elses home!
