Adam has been first up the last few mornings, waking before I have to get them up for school. Eli and I cuddled and watched Curious George. He found a button which he held onto very carefully. I got out my other buttons for him to look at. He liked putting them into the container and dumping them back out. Then Eli asked to get out the easel. We drew with chalk on that and got out the magnetic letters to use on the dry erase side. Eli loves to sing twinkle twinkle and does motions with his hands while singing. He especially loves to make the diamond shape with his hands. I started working on knitting some slippers for Adam. Adam asked us to walk down the road to get him off the bus again today so I pulled Eli in the wagon. Eli was really fussy on the ride back. He didn’t want Adam’s feet touching his and he didn’t want to walk either. Adam ended up turning around and hanging his feet off the back but Eli still cried. After lunch I tucked Eli in for his nap. Adam played his Wii game while I worked on his slippers. Then we sat at the counter to paint. Adam drew pictures and wanted me to paint them. Then I drew pictures for him to paint. Adam woke Eli just before we had to leave to get Jacob off the bus. The boys did some drawing/cutting/gluing. Eli colored with markers and then did some cutting. He loves to cut but to open the scissors he takes his thumb out and uses the other hand. We played Chutes and Ladders. Jacob and Adam went in their bedroom to play in their dark closet with flashlights. After dinner the boys had a long time to play in the tub. Jacob loves to help Eli brush his teeth. Then he sat him on the couch and read to him at bedtime.
