Alex's imagination is just astounding me! His newest, favorite thing to do is set up a rocket (on the floor, couch, bed, etc) using his trio blocks as the control center! He has a key, buttons, air conditioning fan, steering wheel, computer, GPS, etc. He even uses a map of Virginia he found to see if he needs to go left or right and how many more "miles" it is! He calls himself "Captain Alex" and we can't forget to wear our suits and helmets, put on our seatbelts, and lock the doors! He flies his rocket to the moon or one of the planets, and sees shooting stars and asteroids through his "telescopes" along the way. Sometimes there's turbulence or monsters to shoot with missels. Things break and he has to get his toolbox to make repairs, and sometimes we run out of gas! He has seriously barely played with any toys lately because he is so busy playing pretend! His rocket now turns into a train and fire truck as well!
We took a trip to the Children's Museum in Richmond a couple of weeks ago! The kids had such a great time!
Then this past weekend, Kathryn was in town! It was SO great spending time with her! We went to the American Indian Museum and Air and Space Museum!
Other than those couple of "big outings", we've been busy learning new things of course! Nathan's newest thing is putting his hands up in the air when he wants attention! It's pretty cute... he puts them up, grins, and waits for the rest of us to say "hooray!"
He is also all over the place... he can make it across the room by rolling, scooting on his bottoom, or scooting backward. He spins himself around, gets up on all fours, and can pull up onto his knees easily. He also slowly cruises on things and LOVES to be standing. He's getting pretty sturdy! He is totally strong enough to crawl, but hasn't yet.
Other than that, the kids are sharing a room again (this happened a couple of weeks ago) and Nathan is sleeping great at night! He is napping better - taking a morning and afternoon nap (his afternoon nap usually lasting between an hour and fifteen minutes and two hours, with his morning nap being shorter).
And Alex is completely potty trained - he really has been since about a week into training, but I didn't want to jinx it! It's amazing how fast kids learn! He is even in underwear at night and for his nap. He's only had one night time accident! He does great when we're out, too... he can hold it for a very long time! (longer than me, I think! haha)
Well, I have two little boys that are begging for snuggles, so I better go!! :)
