Capron Playtime

I have to say that we are blessed with kids who really love to play with their toys. It is a blessing because they will play on their own and together for a good amount of time each day. It does have its downfall, which is a lack of a sharing spirit, and that is something we are always working on correcting. Mostly for my own record, here are some pictures of what they have been playing with today:

Abby and Caleb watched a Strawberry Shortcake show, and they have been so very excited to play with Abby's little Strawberry Shortcake dolls. In this picture, Abby is making the two dolls have a conversation with the Cars cars.

Luke isn't crawling, but he does want to stand up ALL of the time. Here he is at his music table. He was LOVING this!

Then just when I stood up on a chair to try to get a better picture, this happened. I just had to still snap the picture before I "rescued" the fallen boy.

I got him right back to standing at the table, and the tears immediately ceased. Like I said, he really likes this table!

Tonight after dinner was one of those rare moments in parenting where everything was quiet, and everyone was completely entertaining themselves. It is hard to believe that I ever have any moment in time when someone in the house doesn't need me, but tonight it happened for long enough for me to take note of it. Then I heard Luke's laughter, and there were Luke and Caleb playing with Luke's Christmas present, a Little People Zoo. What a sweet moment and site: my two boys enjoying each other.

This post makes everything sound so perfect in our day. That is certainly not my intent to create a facade that we have it all together all of the time. I do have to break up plenty of fights, and I have long ago run out of new ideas for how to play trains and cars with Caleb. But, it is good to see the kids enjoying their toys and each other at least for a little while each day.
