Reading with Daddy and snuggling..

Leaf is getting to the point that he can sit for a few minutes and enjoy a book. Right now it is more the act of listening to us read, than him following along. Everest usually picks the book, more often than not, it is The Magic School Bus.

I love to see my boys cuddled up in bed reading. It always makes me smile.

Nathan spends a good majority of the evening sitting on the floor with Leaf, while Leaf sits on the potty. They sing, play games and laugh. The other night, Nathan was laying on the floor, Leaf got off his potty and laid down with him. It was so cute to see him snuggling with his daddy. I missed the best pictures, but this one turned out ok.

 Everest and Leaf have been having breakfast picnics in the living room lately. They love it and for the most part, they eat in a reasonable amount of time. They only get so long to have their picnic, as soon as Kenya comes back into the house, the food has to be on the table. It is a pretty good incentive for them.

Leaf is obsessed with 3 things…his fingers, balls and shoes. The first thing he does in the morning is ask for a ball or his shoes. When we get ready for bed, he always asks for his shoes. Lately, he has been getting our shoes and putting them on us too. If we already have shoes on or can’t put them on, he puts them on instead. He tried to give Everest his shoes, but he already had shoes on, so Leaf wore them around the house. Every time one fell off, he would bring it to one of us to help him put it back on.
