One week later and the Moorefield family is finally healthy. Sunday was the first time in 5 days that the boys left the house. We definitely had cabin fever. I can't imagine how this winter will be, all couped up inside. Luckily Chad never got sick.
What's new with the boys? Well, they have been going to the gym's daycare the last several days. Adam balls his eyes out when I leave and Jack could care less. I love the fact that I can workout and have a break from the boys, and I love that they get to play with other kids. I think it's good for them to be away from me, though it's hard to leave with Adam crying. When I come to get them, Adam grabs my legs and won't let me go.
Adam will say "ho, ho, ho" when asked what Santa says. Jack usually is the one to mimic me, but not this time. Adam is also still in to throwing everything! Poor Jack has had several toys chucked at his head. How do you teach a one year old that it's okay to throw a ball but not toys? Jack's new thing is to hand me every thing. He will pick a toy or piece of paper, whatever it is, and hand it to me. This new "fun" game of his can last quite sometime. The boys are still fighting over toys and getting on each others nerves, but also having lots of fun playing together. They love to make each other laugh.
I put up a 5 foot fake Christmas tree (picture above) in the playroom. The boys seem to really like it. It has multi colored flashing lights. I cut the alphabet out of foam paper and clipped the letters to the tree. I needed safe decorations since I knew the boys would be touching them. I don't let the boys pull on the tree but they are allowed to touch it. It wouldn't be any fun having a tree if they couldn't touch it. Of course no one likes the tree more than Baxter!
We are having our good friends Jessi and Tim over for Thanksgiving. We are hoping to get a turkey pre-made so we can just make the sides. This will be the boys' first Turkey day that they can eat some real food. Can't wait to eat some pie!!
