Growing Grays: Buddies

By the time Sunday night rolls around and we've spent the day playing and working hard I just can't remember all of the fun, funny and cute things Miles and Hadley do everyday. I do know that they are very happy being at home with the super nannies. Monday I came home and they were sliding down a pile of snow in the front yard - Miles on his butt and Hads head first. They were so happy to just run and play outside. Miles is doing very well in preschool Tuesdays and Thursdays and often when he's there Hadley gets to take a trip to the library or Arboretum. I also see evidence of lots of fun arts and crafts.

We've noticed Miles making more smart, logical and thoughtful points. Like the other day I was teasing him that Ruby was a bird. He patiently and seriously explained to me that Ruby is not a bird because she has four paws and birds have two legs. Yep - you're right little buddy! Today he was dancing on a chair while helping me make lasagna and I asked him if he had to go potty. He said, "no, I'm just dancing like grandpa on the Vaudeville stage." (He remembers this from a book we have - The Song and Dance Man.)

Where Miles is serious and thoughtful, Hads is often wild and joyful to the point of abandon. She is our little ham and is always enthusiastic - every time we ask who wants to do a particular activity she's always the first one to yell "I do!" If she's not hiding in the closet, standing on the little picnic table or doing anything that Miles is doing she's playing with her baby dolls, wearing high-heels and singing. You go girl!
