I just wanted to share a picture of something that I love, my kids playing together.

There is something so sweet about your kids playing so nicely together. Lindsay and Logan get along pretty well and Logan is now to the point where he can kind of show Lindsay what he wants her to do. She may not understand what he’s trying to tell her but that’s what I’m here for.
They love to play with the ‘jumping rope’ as Lindsay calls it. They’ll both hold on to one end of the jumping rope and pull each other around. Lindsay has to humor Logan but not very much because he’s ridiculously strong.
They still like to wrestle and smile all the way through it.
They’ll take turns on the roller coaster, even when I’m not there! I usually just put all the gates up when I take a shower and let them play together and so far no one has gotten hurt. The other day when I came out they were taking turns as if they didn’t know any other way.
Logan loves it when Lindsay throws a ball really far so he has to go get it and then he’ll come back to her and then he’ll throw it and she’ll go get it.
One of my favorite things they do is ‘Ring around the Roses’, just the two of them. They just giggle and giggle and do it over and over again. Too cute.
Logan imitates Lindsay more and more the older he gets. Logan can already spin around in a circle just from watching Lindsay and he even does her weird eye thing when he spins. I don’t remember when Lindsay could spin in a circle but it doesn’t seem like she was this young.
Not only do they play well together but they love each other so much. Logan is not allowed to go to sleep unless Lindsay has given him a hug and a kiss first. She gets really emotional if for whatever reason she doesn’t get to give him a kiss and a hug before he goes to sleep. Logan lights up when he first sees Lindsay in the morning. And yesterday they almost brought me to tears. Lindsay had gone potty and as soon as she opened the door, Logan went running to her and they just gave each other a big hug! I’m so happy that they love each other and that they are so close. I hope they always stay that way.

I love my kids and I really want them to experience everything life has to offer. But there are just some things I don’t like and playdoh is one of them. Lindsay has a great time with it and last year she wanted to play with it constantly and I would let her because it gave her something to do while I was taking care of tiny Logan. But we would always forget to put it away and it would dry up and there would be tears so I threw it all away and said I wouldn’t get it again. But I obviously didn’t mean it because I kept all the little toys that go with it and Lindsay will see them and ask if she can play with playdoh and I would tell her we don’t have any and she would get sad so I broke down and bought some more. Lindsay is excited the strike is over! She’s older now and stronger and so she can squeeze and push the playdoh through all the fun little design makers all by herself which means I don’t necessarily have to be playing with it too but I am usually right there anyway. I didn’t know how Logan would react to it, whether he would try to eat it or what. This was his reaction:

He just kind of poked at it. He didn’t like the way it felt and actually handed it back to me after a few minutes. So he played with the container and lid instead.

Lindsay still loves it and had a blast!


She’s so cute to watch because she concentrates so hard on what she’s doing. Lindsay may love it but I still really hate the mess it makes.
