Picture Perfect Moments
I am curious as to why picture perfect moments only last a millisecond.
This evening for example, Owen got out the Sequence for Kids game. We set it all up, he decided who got what color chip, we dealt the cards, and we were ready to go. He is the youngest so he gets to go first; he sat still, decided which card he wanted to lay, placed that card off to the side neatly (didn't throw it), placed his chip on the animal that matched his card, and then drew a new card. Then I took my turn, Daddy took his. And that explains the picture perfect moment!
Then the craziness started, Owen playfully put Daddy's chip on the board instead of his own, then said, "just kidding, daddy!" Next, he pushed all the other chips off the board. I put all the chips back in their original spots, just for Owen to take Daddy's chip and put his chip in it's spot instead, then when he got scolded, he took Daddy's chip, put it on top of his own on the same animal and said, "I'm just kidding, Daddy, we can share!"
Finally, he got up and started playing hopscotch across the board, that's when the game got cleaned up!
A few weeks ago, Gavin had to work late at school and so I had to eat dinner with the boys alone. Normally, getting Owen to sit at the dinner is a struggle, but this particular day he sat down with me, and for a millisecond I was eating and both boys were eating; it was a picture perfect moment and then.........
Owen threw his plate on the floor and said he didn't like it.
Oh the joys of parenthood!

Handsome Little Men
This weekend we found matching outfits for the boys on clearance at Target. It just so happened that the only two sizes they had were 5T and 18 months, which was exactly what we needed! We are planning on getting a family picture taken at the end of the month and these outfits will be perfect. Tonight, I tried them on the boys to see how they looked. I think they look so handsome! Owen is so excited to wear an outfit that matches Max and have his picture taken, hopefully, he is just as excited when the time comes!
This was Owen's interpretation of the pose I was looking for when I said, "look handsome!"

Owen "Hopscotching"
Owen's new favorite things to do, besides playing duck, duck, goose, is hopscotch. Although, he does not have the hopping part quite mastered. Check out the video below to see what I mean! (sorry about the sneezing, my allergies are acting up now that we actually have flowering plantlife in our backyard)!

First Steps
Max took his "official" first steps today at the park. He was so freaked out by the water fountains at the park that I don't even think he knows that he walked, he was just trying to get to safety AKA me.
Wild Animal
Owen was thrilled that the water fountains turned on at the Dinosaur Park today. The video below clearly illustrates just how excited he was. When he watched this video, he laughed and said, "that's a wild animal!"
