co-si, co-si, co-si!!

this is what ewie chants every time we go to cosi, since his cousin caitlin took him there this winter...today we went with margaux, nate, grandma and grandpa...the boyz were pumped...we had a great day...margaux and nate were so understanding of the boyz need to run from exhibit to exhibit...we (mostly mpm and nate) watched the weather show and these are the pics...

mini diggers for hire...

gardens, flower beds, building a house, or digging a pool...they are serious diggers : )

oxymoron...

when i wake up, i never know what the day will bring...will they nap, will they eat, will they listen, who will they be today....these are just a few of the questions running through my mind...i have given up on napping & eating...if they do that is great...i am amazed at how many animals & personalities they can portray in an hour...they are getting so much better about listening but they continually test us over the same things everyday...with ewie, it is simple...same exact tests everyday...not fed fast enough, clothes too restrictive, getting out of the bathtub...although he is evolving and needs no help stripping down now...cameron, can be a little more involved...he consistently tests us at meal time...although, it took us a couple of days to figure out the hyperventilating, crying fit before bath time...but then we realized he did not want his lightening mcqueen tattoo to go away...now he baths most days without a fit when we promise a new tattoo...most of my day involves predicting the randomness...which leads us to some sort of organized anarchy : )

fearful symmetry...

tiger, tiger, burning bright
in the forests of the night,
what immortal hand or eye
dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

-william blake, "the tiger"

we go to the zoo a lot...the boyz love it...they both cease to amaze me...my fearless, very active ewie, ran from the polar bear and chose to spend 20 minutes on the (thankfully) metal "alligator"...i would pay money to know what he was thinking, laying here watching manatees and sting rays...my sometimes overwhelmed, hanging out cam, could not get enough of the polar bear swimming...and then right next to the manatees and sting rays swimming...i have always worried more about ewie from day one...but he just started talking clearly and fluently this week...now he is the most popular kid in his class...now i think i should have always been worried about my sensitive, active imagination, says he is the "king" child, cam...but i guess i shouldn't, since i was the sensitive, active imagination, said, i was going to be a "wealthy widow with lots of power" child : )
