Max woke up around 6:00 this morning. Jack was also awake and I was feeding him. Max came and crawled in bed with us. He asked to hold Jack. I told him he was eating. He said "Can I pet him?" So he rubbed his head while I was feeding him. Jack was wide awake the whole time and didn't fall back asleep like he usually does. Max was wide awake and talking the whole time too. I decided to take Max back to his bed hoping he would fall back asleep in there. He didn't. He just layed there talking until about 7:30 when Hailey woke up. They both came walking into our bedroom holding hands. It was so cute. Jack was still awake too. I had him laying in bed with me, and he was very talkative and smiling a bunch. We all went out to the living room. Hailey picked a Barney video to watch. Max sat through half of it and then got up to play with his trucks. Jack was very vocal this morning, especially when Hailey was talking to him. He was getting pretty loud and making a bunch of cute sounds. Hailey tickled him a little bit and he even did a little laugh. After breakfast, I did some laundry while the kids played in Hailey's room. I went in to check on them and they were playing dolls. Hailey was pretending to be the mom. She pointed to Max and said "This is my big baby. He can walk. He's a toddler." She had made a bed for him on her toy box. She put a pillow and some blankets on it and he was laying down pretending to take a nap. Then she asked me if I wanted to hold her "little baby" (her doll). She said "She's zero. She just came out my belly." While I was folding the laundry, Hailey found the fitted sheet and took it to use for her dolls. Whenever I wash fitted sheets, she always gets it before I get a chance to fold it. She loves to use it for her dolls. She somehow wraps it around her and will load it up with a doll and blankets. Sometimes she'll even put two dolls in it. She says it is her "front pack", and she walks around the house carrying her dolls in it. The way she wraps it around her, it kind of does look like a baby sling. It's funny how she put one corner over her head to help it stay on while she's walking around with it. After lunch, I put Max down for a nap and I had Hailey lay down too. After resting for an hour in her bed, I let her get up. We sat at the table and colored. She made some pretty pictures. She is really starting to like to draw different things. She draws flowers, trees, suns, hearts, people, balloons, etc. Max woke up while we were coloring. He climbed up at the table and colored with us. When Jack fell asleep, I turned the baby monitor on and took the kids outside to play. They had fun going down the slide together. They liked showing me different "tricks" and would go down together on their bellies facing each other holding hands, forwards, backwards, upside down, and even sideways. It's amazing how many different ways they can go down. Then Max got out his dump truck and loaded it up with rocks. He would drive it around and then dump them back out into the driveway. Hailey got out some Frisbees and set them up as a drum set. She used a stick and a bat to play the drums. Max checked his wheels on his dump truck and said "I got a front fwat (flat) wheel." He then found a little Frisbee and leaned it up against the wheel and said "I fixin da wheel!" Daddy came home while we were outside playing. He played on the slide with the kids for awhile and then we got ready to leave. He had to mail a package. We went to get donuts and a mocha on the way to the post office. Then we went to the Goodwill stores. We went to Taco Bell for dinner, and the kids danced around to the music that was playing. It was time to get ready for bed by the time we got home. Jack was very talkative again tonight. He didn't even fall asleep until midnight.
