A week or so ago Cole and I got to have Ben spend the day with us as Emily and Jim were busy moving back into their home (they had to redo the entire house after pipes burst during an ice storm this winter). We were so happy to have him with us all day but boy...by the end of the day I was so tired! God knew what he was doing when he gave us one baby at a time! We did have so much fun playing in the dirt, playing in the water, and playing with Play Doh. As the day continued the boys learned new ways to get into things while I was not looking. For example, I took a 30 second bathroom break and when I was gone I heard banging and laughing. I quickly finished up and came out to see what was so funny. Well, those 2 had figured out how to open our freezer and get out the Popsicles! When they saw me they burst out laughing and hid the Popsicles behind their backs. Another time, right in front of me but too quickly for me to stop them, they jumped into the water table with their clothes on. Not a big deal until they quickly jumped out, ran to the dirt and rolled around in it...laughing so hard the entire time! I was proud to get them both to take a nap at the same time - I never thought that would happen. I will admit, as exhausting as it was I loved watching them play all day together and enjoy each other so much.
