The Kickster and the Jumpster had a busy weekend. Saturday they attended a fundraiser, Strikes for Swansons, for Joe's cousin's family. Our best go out to Brian, Kathy and Merry. The turnout was amazing and we all hope for the best because we love 'em.
Kevin had much fun being carried around by his Uncle Rob. Rob seemed to be ok with it too :)
Both boys were tired due to truncated naps but they got a kick out of watching the people and the bowling.
On Sunday, K and J had their first visit to the New England Aquarium, courtesy of our friends the Bennetts, Abby, Amy, Eric and Jack. We all had a great time. Joe carried Jason in a backpack which the little guy seemed to really like. I carried Kevin and he enjoyed that as he liked to stand up against the glass peering at the fish. They both loved all the sealife. There was a lot to observe and absorb. It was difficult to tell from their expressions, but I think theyliked the penguins best. Also, they both liked being at the very top of the big tank and looking down into it.
We wrapped up the afternoon with a trip to a nearby playground where the boys got to swing. Such squeals of laughter and delight. They loved swinging. Oddly enough, Jason was so relaxed and happy he fell asleep twice while swinging.
Overall, a great weekend. It's taken 2 days for the boys to recover. Teeth are pushing on through and both boys look like they've grown an inch and gained 2 lbs. Bigger and bigger every day.
Other Breaking News
Jason says "meow". He says it in a small, high pitched voice. Very sweet. Kevin is skipping walking and moving to hopping. He hops all the time, everywhere. I don't think he realizes that holding on to someone's shirt sleeve isn't really holding him up. The pony continues to be a favorite toy. Kevin holds on with one hand and rears back letting his other arm fall backwards. All he needs is a lasso. Occasionally, one or both boys will answer a question with "yeah" or "no". Today when I asked Jason if we should change his diaper. He responded, "Yeah." Good choice it needed changing, badly.
Both boys are reading up a storm. New favorites are "Elmo and the Duckies", "Elmo and the Bunny Hop" and the fuzzy Elmo Easter story (I forget the title). Old favorites continue to be favorites. When we travel, Hello Bee/Hello Me and the Lion King Alphabet Book go with us.
Well, I should run. Hope all is well with all of you.
Love,
Kathy
