Just Hanging Out

It has been so neat for me to see Audrey & Nathan really become friends the last few months and play so well together. Don't get me wrong - they fight like typical siblings, but being the same age and going through the same stages can be rough (especially for Mom and Dad!!!). They are starting to do more imaginative play and lately they like to pretend to be babies. They get out all their old baby blankets and they even pretend to feed each other bottles all while talking baby talk to each other. I often find them in Audrey's room, lying on the floor covered in blankets, and one of them is pretending to cry while the other one is comforting them. It's so funny and cute! They also are having more conversations with each other, besides "Mine!" and "Stop!" Audrey refers to her brother as, "My Natey" and Nathan is always asking, "Where's Audee?" We've been working on using polite words and instead of hitting or yelling, asking, in a nice way what they want. Very sweet when it actually happens :)

The kids like to hide in the tunnels, usually right before bedtime! But they pop up and play peek-a-boo with each other and just laugh.

Here they are sitting on their Elmo chairs while hiding in the tunnels. Still not wanting to go to bed!

Sometimes they like to sit at their own table and eat dinner but using big chairs of course!

Couldn't snap a photo fast enough. Snow White kept running away from me!

Checking out the animals at Hidden Villa Farm in Los Altos Hills with friends (and twins) Madison and Logan.

I couldn't get the kids to the car at Hidden Villa. They would stop and try to hug each other. It was so funny! People were stopping to watch them do this!
