Cooperation!

Hope you are having a great summer, it's going by too fast for my taste but oh well...fall is fun for us too since Kay absolutely loves preschool and Levi's 2nd birthday is 9-5!  That'll be great...

Anyways, what I wanted to record here today is that for our first time ever I think we are beginning to see kaylee and Levi get along, cooperate and share together this week more often than not. In other words, not so much fighting and thus timeouts for the pair. Levi realized he's not encouraged to knock over his sisters towers while playing blocks so he began to strt to build himself a small tower then go over to kaylee and ask her to help him build it bigger, then knock over his own tower. I was thrilled to see this cooperation!

They also have been liking to lay down in pretend beds and fall asleep, consists of pretty much playing some house together and fake snoring under layers of carefully spread out blankets. Very very cute! Sometimes kaylee interprets for Levi, when I don't understand what he's just said, shell tell me. I love that she knows him so well and cares enough to help. She's been telling me this week, "mom, I love everyone I know, even you!" and I taught her to say instead,"...".... Especially you!"

For the first time his week Levi has been catching the ball too when he can manage it, not just throwing. He also looks at you and says, "ready?" before a throw. He's also begun to use his arms to doggy paddle while swimming. So with his paddling and kicking together, he's making some good time getting to his balls and frisbees while swimming (in his life jacket of course).


Kaylee fell on some playground equipment at daycare this week and has a scab on her chin. Thankfully it's not bothering her. She's told us the story over nd over and ESP. Enjoys the "and h told me I had a rough day" part? Eric was sick last night so that was no fun but seems to be bouncing back today, yay! Levi threw up the other night after a huge meal but wasn't then sick the next day, much to my relief as I am on a deadline at work and couldn't afford the time off!
 (I'm sure I coulda found help tho)   So there's been a bit of drama as usual but nothing too crazy, just par for the course! You all have a great rest of the weekend!
