Differences

by kari on July 27, 2010

The girls were up ahead taking care of the dog.   Dog sitting has been one more thing that has shown their nurturing/mothering tendencies.

The boy was falling behind as he focused on gathering as many sticks and logs as he could find. My hunter/gatherer who gets loved on quite a bit by his nurturing sisters.  Sometimes the differences between the two genders is extremely obvious.

Afternoon Plans

by kari on July 20, 2010

Our trip to the pool was canceled due to little man’s slight fever when he woke up from his nap. The next best thing to a pool? A bath tub of course.The girls wanted the tub really full so they could practice their swimming moves.  They decided little brother should just play with mom during this “swim”.Little man was not putting up with  being left out of all the fun.  After a brief conference, the girls decided he could join them on two conditions.

  1. He had to pretend to be a mermaid
  2. He couldn’t poop in the tub.  I’m happy to say, Justus makes an excellent mermaid and all gross substances stayed in his body.
