Fun and Games

The kids are really playing well together these days; I don't know if it's because Michael and Emily are that much older, can speak more and can tell Sophie what they like and don't like, or if Sophie has finally realized that teasing them just gets her in trouble. Probably the former, I don't think the latter has even reached it's peak. Whatever the reason, it's nice that all three of them enjoy some of the same things. Making a tent is always a favorite, who didn't do this growing up?

Of course, Michael had to go the extra mile to climb up on the chair, and try and throw himself on the sheet that was the tent covering. I did put the camera down in time to stop him.
Another new game they enjoy, and could do over and over and over, is taking turns riding in Michael's tonka truck. They start in the kitchen, ride down the short hallway to the family room, where someone "catches" them. Here's Emily tonight after dinner, trying her best to catch Sophie.
For Sophie, dressing up is the be all and end all right now. The gaudier, the better. While I was reading to the twins tonight, she was in her room getting gussied up, complete with perfume and lip gloss.
