The one in which Braeden gives Gymboree a try...and Elmo gets a new dress....

Recently we did a trial class at Gymboree for Braeden...Ryleigh used to go to the gym classes when she was younger ... and since Juliette was doing it...I thought Braeden might like it too...and it was free...

Ryleigh climbing on the equipment before the babies' class began...Braeden....wondering how the camera made it all the way to gymboree...

Emily and Ryleigh waited so patiently while class was going on...
they are both such great big sisters...

Climbing...

He rolled the ball...and then scooted to go get it...then rolled it...over and over...
weaving in and out of people along his way...

Ryleigh and Braeden playing with our tunnel in the living room...

Braeden had no interest whatsoever in coming out of the tunnel...
and made me go in to get him...

Grandma Sue made Ryleigh an adorable strawberry shortcake dress...and one for her baby doll to match...Ryleigh promptly gave the dress to Elmo
(baby Elmo I think...not to be confused with sister Elmo or cousin Elmo...)

Ryleigh...playing in the dirt with her friend Teagan...
I love that she is wearing a "princess" shirt while digging...

Wherever you go...I go....and other fun things

Ryleigh is 38 Months
Braeden is 11 Months

This week has been a lot of fun... we continue our break from "school"...Braeden and Ryleigh are playing together more and more...he LOVES to follow her...and when he doesn't she makes sure to call to him...other exciting news...I am converting over to Cloth Diapers...so exciting!!!

What follows is a plethora of pictures...some of them are hi-larious...(to me anyway)...and some are just pitiful...don't worry...you'll know when you see them...

When it is nice out (which it is mostly) Ryleigh really likes to play outside...on this particular day it was after nap time and she wanted to go swimming for a bit...we left Braeden inside with Daddy...
Here she is watering the flowers...its one of her favorite activities...

I have to warn you...what follows is a bit of a sad sight...

Braeden catches a glimpse of his sister out the door....

"She couldn't possibly be out there without me..."

"Daddy....there seems to be some mistake...I think you need to open the door"

"I have got to figure out a way to get out there..."
and he was outside shortly thereafter..

Braeden has now started sometimes dragging his back leg while scooting...
although his preferred method of movement is still the tushy scootch...

Ryleigh working on her stART project...

Braeden moved out of his high chair and into the booster at the table..
also...he discovered the joy of pancakes...(even if they are dairy free)...

Ryleigh and her friend Teagan had a playdate this week...

They made Brownies...

Recently while at Target I picked up this play tunnel on clearance...
I plan to use it for obstacle courses during the school year...and the kids love it...
Ryleigh and Teagan had a great time...and before I knew it...so did Braeden...

Braeden...in his cowboy cloth...
