New Toys

I bought some new quads for the boys in hopes of luring Beck over.

Killian can back up his quad, but I guess Beck is going to need some lessons...

No, no time. Go Daddy's house!

     On Saturday we met at the park.  Killian did his usual run to me, give me a hug and then take my hand to go play on the equipment.  Beck went to the slide and hid.  I thought if I gave Beck enough space he would at least start playing from a distance.  I was wrong, he just stayed in that slide.  So I went over and rubbed his back and asked if he wanted to come and play with us.  His response, "go way!"  Over time Beck moved to the walkway in between slides, so I crawled under him and started poking his belly and asking him to come play.  He just turned his head and eventually said no. 
     Killian grew bored quickly of the park and started yelling, "go Daddy's how (house)!"  I told him that we couldn't go to my house without Beck.  So Killian raced over the where Beck was and told Beck, "Bet, wate up (Beck wake up)! Go Daddy how!"  Beck didn't respond, so I suggested to Killian that we go play on the biggie hill at the back of the park property.  Killian didn't wait for us, he just took off running.  Because that's what he does.  The boy doesn't walk anywhere.  I started to walk off so I could keep an eye on Killian and shockingly, Beck started to follow me.  Beck stayed about twenty feet behind me the entire time until we got to the hill.  Once Beck got to the hill and saw Killian and I rolling down the hill, he loosened up.  Beck started laughing, playing with us, and taking my hand.  He also threw his shoes at me which he thought was pretty funny.  After thirty minutes of running up and down the hill Beck asked "I go to Daddy's house?" I told him we should go there right now and Beck took off running.  Killian followed once he figured out we were leaving him.  Killian stopped en route to my truck at a pile of sticks that they usually pretend they are fishing at.  Killian went for a stick and Beck said, "No, no time. Go Daddy's house."  They were off and running towards my truck.  Once at my house we played for hours.  When I could tell Beck was getting tired, I told the boys we needed to go home.  Killian promptly ran and hid.  Beck went and hid his shoes.  I found Killian quickly, but it took a bit to find Beck's shoes.  I had to bribe them to go get in my truck.  Beck loves to play at my house, but I will never understand why it is so hard to get him there.



A new way to watch TV

Beck doesn't like to draw while waiting for his noodles

He does, however, like to color "biggie wocks"

We all have to be involved in the making of noodles

Beck touching the steam

Beck loves to be spund round and round until dizzy


He's telling me which way he wants me to spin him



Beck likes to throw every toy in that little room out through the play window

Building their usual road

Some pics for the two blog readers out there


Noodles must be protected at all times

Beck in the slide

How Killian gets in his bed

Cute boy


Beck loves to help with noodles

Quite the little artist

They wanted to eat dry noodles

They didn't like the noodles raw

Blowing on his noodles.  I think there is more saliva than air getting blown.

Attack grandma

Killian trying to blow up a balloon

Bwow up.  Is what I'm told.

The solution.  We both blow up the balloon at the same time.


Beck wanted all the balloons


He kept saying, "take home, take home".

So mischevious

I hate it when I have to take them home

Guess who's back?

So apparently we have to meet at the park in order to get Beck to come with me.  He won't get out of the car if I'm near it.  I have to wander off and play with Killian for about fifteen minutes.  Once he gets over that initial part, then he hangs out with us.  Madame X leaves and Beck doesn't ask about her again.  Killian said, "No mo park.  Go daddy's house"  He then ran towards the truck with Beck in tow saying "wait fo me, wait fo me"  At the end of the time neither of them want to go back home.  This last time Killian went so far as to stomp his foot, cross his arms and say,"I NO GO HOME". 
Two funny conversations...
Killian jumping up and down: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Me: What!?!?!?
Killian pointing now towards the road: Hay, hay, hay, hay.
Me feeling stupid: Yep buddy, that's hay on that trailer. 

Me trying to fix the piano: I'm sorry buddy, I can't fix it
Beck walking away: That's life
Wow, I'm thinking to myself.  That kid speaks like he is a lot older.  Until I realized he had found a box of Life cereal and was walking away with it not paying any attention to me.

I missed him

He was so proud he could touch the ceiling

He loves to build a road and then walk on it with the blocks

Putting dinosaurs in the garbage truck


A game of throw cars at daddy to catch.  Not my favorite game.

So glad he came back to play


Getting ready to dive on the balls

One of us is attacking and the other defending.  I'm just not sure which is which


I finally had to hide that thing.  He was doing too much damage with it

I love it when they play nicely together

Loves to get himself dizzy

It can get crowded when you only have one of a certain toy

I had to make three tracks.  One for each boy. 

He has started putting stuff in front of the train to watch what happens

Beck always has to do a wide split for the train to go under

Code red, there is a monkey on the tracks

Love reading to both of them.  They get so excited pointing out things they know.

Love it when he smiles


Trying to read to one and play with the other

My favorite thing to do

Another game of attack Daddy

New four wheelers to ride

Of course something needs to be in the trailer
