This week we had our nieces Brooke & Bailey spend a couple of days with us. It is the first time they have spent this much time with us & our first time having them overnight. I am happy to report that all went well & I returned them to my brother unscarred.
Bailey loves dogs & Logan was not too impressed with our little house guests, especially when she was required to pose for pictures. Sydney also enjoyed having her cousins stay, to an extent. We saw the beginnings of an unwillingness to share emerging. It seemed that Sydney wanted to play with her toy (any toy) only after it was being used by someone else. The worst part about this now is that she has a renewed interest in her gliding horse, but will only stay on for about 20 seconds at a time. Up, down, up, down.
During Sydney's afternoon nap, Brad took the girls to an indoor playground that we heard about. Since we heard that it wasn't really appropriate for Sydney's age, she missed out- the twins had a blast. They have a huge jungle gym with slides & battery operated motorcycles. I can hardly wait until Sydney is old enough to go. Hopefully it will still be around. Here are some pictures from their fun (Bailey is in pink & Brooke is in stripes).
During this trip, Brad got to learn some valuable parenting skills. The main one? Using the flip a coin method results in less tears & pouting than the turn-taking option.
