Christine: "This is why we have two"

This is from Wednesday ...

Christine took the boys out to pick up some sneakers.  Since the weather is finally taking a turn toward warm, it seems like a good idea.  They got back just after I'd finished cleaning up from supper and I assumed Daniel would be wiped out and ready to go right to bed.  Turns out not.  He was pretty hyper and James was James.  So they started running around.  Daniel made right for "Daniel's Toy" (that appears to be the proper name for it) and started running around with it.  Once James saw that he made right for the wagon and they just sort of fell into playing together, racing from the great room in the front to the kitchen.

This lasted for about half an hour when Daniel finally started showing signs of being tired.  I picked him up intending to take him upstairs and put him to bed but James ran right up to me and said "Daddy!  Put Daniel down!"  Clearly he wasn't done playing yet.

So I did, then I thought I'd best get some video of this.


Two days later they're still playing this game.

    Just when you think you have them figured out, they pull these unexpected little tricks on you. this is a cute video and I've enjoyed it very much. Thanks for posting this video of the boys playing together. Daniel sure has developed since Christmas and I bet they will be the best of brothers.

    Hugs

    Holy geese! James can really motor! And I am very impressed with Daniels walking! It is nice that James has come around to seeing Daniel as a playmate rather than a bother :)

I Miss Monster Sookie

What's a Monster Sookie ?  There's probably two parts to that question. The first being, what's a sookie ?  That's our name for pacifiers or soothers or whathaveyou.  I have no idea where the name came from, but I'm pretty sure I gave it too them when James was in the special care unit just after he was born and it was probably based on the sound he was making with the one the nurses had given him while he was there. So what's a Monster sookie?  That picture over there.  Brenda and Steve bought one for James well before he was old enough to actually use it (it only comes in one size, which is, I think, intended for six-month-olds).  We didn't really get a lot of use out of it until just last year when I was Han Solo for Halloween and James got to be my Li'l Chewbacca co-pilot. Exceptionally adorable. Last summer we brought out the outfits again for the Ottawa Comic Con.  When I was wandering around just as Han Solo I had maybe a half-dozen peopl

Robocallers

We don't get a lot of robocalls anymore thanks to the fact that we're no longer on a POTS line anymore and the blocklist service included in our VoiP package.  One of the few that still show up are "The Duct Cleaning Service".  I assume that's their "doing business as" name since that's how they always identify themselves when they call (from a local number, I may add).  But we don't talk to them.  We don't interact at all except to note the number and ban it from all future incoming attempts. I mention this because I have no  idea how tonight's bit of foolishness came about. After we had finished reading bed-time stories James and Daniel both were horsing around in James' room.  We were letting them burn through their energy and weren't paying that much attention.  Around 8pm I wandered by the room only to see Daniel with James' foot pressed firmly against his ear.  This "foot phone" has been a thing for abou
