Now That's Entertainment!

Things that entertain a 2 year old:
  1. watching the Sierra Springs truck deliver water 2 doors down
  2. trying to make a freaky dog go on a "space trip" with you
  3. bursting into a room where a 9 month old is trying to take a nap
  4. letting the aforementioned freaky dog lick your chips before you eat them
  5. cramming half of a peanut butter sandwich in your mouth at once so you can get a cookie
  6. finding new inconspicuous ways to knock over a little brother
  7. pretending Mommy's curling iron is the jaws of life like you saw in the rescue vehicle dvd
  8. looking at the enormous spider who built a web on your back patio (you know, the one Mommy is sure will find it's way into your house)
  9. any activity that involves flying through the air
  10. emptying anything that is full (trashcans, laundry baskets, etc.)

Things that entertain a 9 month old:
  1. watching a 2 year old

Yes you are right..
that is what they like ..
but best of all is Coleman knows mommy will be watching me.
Try hiding ... be very quiet and see if Colman will come to find you. He will wonder what you are doing!
I can just see the pbj going in all at once .... for the cookie.
He must really like cookies!

One thing I did that helped was:
Louie had toys he could play with books and tapes only when Jim was sleeping.
The minuet Jim woke up those special toys went back in the box on the shelf. That way he would let Jim take his nap.
It hasn't happened yet.. but it will. Louie was calm good boy until one day Jim started laughing at what ever it was that Louie was doing..... well that did it. Louie would do ridiculous things just to get Jim to laugh...
Spencer will figure that out.. and Coleman will turn into an actor.
I think it is just placement..
Enjoy them!! Keep sharing!
