today was a rather strange day. the kids were a little off their A game this morning...lots of grumping and attitude, but they also played independently for a long time. it was sunny and gorgeous today, so after some playtime in the apartment, we decided to go down to the playground to get some fresh air and have some fun. fun was no where to be found. we did find varying levels of meltdown, though...ranging from minor electrical short to nuclear level meltdowns...courtesy of the quinnado. ahh, two....such an awesome age. gee, i can't wait for three :-)
this afternoon, we kept it low key again, but did have better success with happy playtime at the playground.
here's hoping there's enough energy and goodwill for an outing tomorrow...i can't take a whole lot of time locked in this apartment. i need SPACE and fresh air (okay, fresh is relative considering the amount of smog and particulate pollution we are exposed to here. there is just NOTHING like a mouth/face full of the nasty, gritty, oily smoke that blows out of the back of a truck. random....did you know that when you are standing next to a truck, that tail pipe is right at face level for a young child?).
josh and the kids at the playground
this is what our playground adventure looked like this morning...the adventures that lasted less than 10 minutes. these tears were for his trains. when we were getting ready to go downstairs, i gave him the choice of bringing two trains or his scooter to the playground. he chose his scooter. and then threw a wall-eyed fit for the trains after about five minutes of playing with his scooter at the playground. *sigh*
two cute boys. i am constantly amazed by our waffle kitty. what kitty lays on the floor next to a two year old?! q has been playing trains with waffle a lot...as in running the trains under and over waffle's belly. waffle couldn't care less...i think he might even like it.
silly-faced bug at the playground this morning
Is that similar to a Colicane or a Cole-nami? We've had those here. We miss you! Tell Olivia her hair looks adorable!
ReplyDeletehahahaha! yes, a quinnado is much like a colicane and/or a colnami!
ReplyDeletewe miss you guys. livie was thrilled that you like her hair...she loves it, which is the most important thing, but she also is very interested in what others think of it, too.
