This morning we watched the new Baby Signing Time 'A New Day' again. Man, those songs are really catchy. I've been singing the songs around the house all weekend. Anyway, this picture was so cute because Celia laid on my lap and let me rub her back (she likes a good backrub, but doesn't normally lay on your lap for it).
Guess what. . . after nap today Nicholas asked to wear the tutu. lol He looks so silly in it. Luckily Jason is secure in his manhood and understands Nicholas is just copying his sister. Celia actually played cars for a long time today. It was switch-day I guess.
Tonight before bed they both learned how to hang on to my neck as I took them on a piggy-back ride. So we had fun running around the house. :)
It has rained almost all weekend. But both saturday and sunday we were able to get Nicholas and Celia out of the house to take a nice walk. We walked maybe 1/2 mile (about 30-45 min walk depending on how many 'treasures' they find) around the neighbor hood with them walking with us. Then they would hold our hands when we crossed streets. They stay on the sidewalk, but if they walk on grass we say "stay on the sidewalk" and they come right back. We played ''Follow the Leader' too. We would say 'stomp your feet' ' run' 'make circles'. I have been teaching them 'stop and go' game too. We learned the signs for stop and go, so I figure if we make a game out of stopping when I say, then they will start to truely understand what 'stop' means. So when we were playing 'follow the leader' I would say 'STOP' and then we would all freeze. Celia seems to get it, but Nicholas isn't quite there yet. He would run right through all 3 of us stopped on the sidewalk like he didn't know he was the only one still moving. ha ha
Those walks around the neighborhood do them a lot of good!

Nicholas looks so cute in that tutu. That's pretty funny. I love putting Kat's hair in a pony tail too, it's fun to do and it makes me look forward to when she's older and really wants me to do her hair. Right now I just try and sneak it in. Glad you got some sweet moments in with Celia cuddling, that's really sweet she wanted you to rub her back and lay on your lap.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a girl for piggy tails...I'll just have to love Celias and Kats I guess! Nicholas looks so cute in the Tutu. My boys are really starting to like back rubs/scratches too. It seems to calm them right down. :)
