Bedtime for Bonzo

Tonight Maurice put the boys to bed. They were so cute reading books and playing with cars. They have such a great routine....first they read a book, then they sing 2 songs (We Are the Boys of Old Florida for Isaac and Twinkle, Twinkle for Timmy) and say their prayers. Then it's hugs and kisses, tuck them in and they're down for the count (most nights!). I love it. No matter what little devils they are during the day, they always make up for it at bedtime.

Speaking of, Timmy's latest little game is diving headfirst from the coffee table onto the couch. I'm going to have to move the table....one time today I caught him just as he was about to hit the floor. I guess he misjudged the distance. He's such a daredevil. We often walk down to the playground at the elementary school near us in the afternoon. I'm going to have to start taking them to another playground....Timmy is just too dangerous. This playground is designed for older kids, but Timmy doesn't pay attention to that. He thinks he should be able to do anything Isaac does. Today he tried to climb down the rock climbing wall. I always stay within arms reach so I can stop him from jumping off the top of the playset (which is about 10 feet off the ground).

I'm amazed at the growth spurt both the boys have had. I took Isaac shopping yesterday for new jeans for school...I could only find 2 pair of size 5 jeans that were long enough. His problem is that he's tall and slim, so I have to find 5 slim jeans. He'll be moving up to a size 6 soon and I have no idea how I'll find a waist that fits him! I'd better just invest in a belt. And Timmy's new love is Blue's Clues. He finds the clues before the kids on the show yell them out, and loves to yell "clue!" and "notebook!". He hopefully will be going to daycare 2 days a week this fall (I'm looking for a part-time job right now) and he is so ready for that semi-classroom environment. I just remember Isaac loving circle time and finger painting, and Timmy is showing much the same interest these days.
