These kids sure have developed some fun(ny) games or activities. Whenever Isabelle is in the tub by herself, she does what she calls 'swimming.' What this swimming is is when she gets on her belly, and gets as close to one end of the tub with her feet. Then she pushes off as fast as she can, and belly surfs accross the tub, which pushes a big wave of water ahead of her, only to splash back at her when it get to the other end. She then wipes off her face, and laughs, and gets ready to do it again.

David has a game he like to play around the house. He goes into one of the bedrooms, and gets behind the door. Then he peeks his head around the door to see who's looking at him, and says, "Bye Bye." Then he closes the door, which he can't really open up again, then yells, "Mama!" Then we go open the door for him, he pops out with a big smile on his face, and he wants to do it again.

The other thing we've noticed with David is that he seems to have no fear. At least I hope thats what it is. Either that or no sense. Today we were at the playground, and he just climbs right up as high as he can get on the jungle gym. Then he thinks he can step off any edge like it were a stair. But it's 5 ft. up! Then he was going to walk right down a big slide! He's been climbing up slides for a while, and he likes to go down them on his belly too. Recently he has started to go down slides in a more traditional sitting pose. But today he went down a few times on his belly, then a few sitting runs, but then he just started to try to walk right down it! Fortunately, I was standing right next to the slide and caught him before he went end over. What's he doing? Trying to give us heart attacks?!?

Isabelle occasionally gets a little maternal or nurturing with her little brother. Sometimes its funny and a little inapproprtiate, like when she tells him "No, stay there and take a nap!" at 8 in the morning, and she just happened to cover him up with a blanket. But other times, most times, it's very cute, and she's giving him a bit of her food, or offering him a drink. Sometimes when we redirect him or tell him he can't clinb on top of the TV, and he starts to cry, she will get a toy or stuffed animal and bring it over to try to comfort him. She's so sweet!
