Play

I haven't made a habit of letting the kids read the blog, but last night Albus had a go at reading the text around the photo blog. So this is a picture of Albus looking at a picture of Albus. It's got "meta" all over it. He got a kick out of the pretend names.


Fooey hosts a regular Tuesday morning playdate ("guest" and "host" are two concepts we continue to work on, with some burgeoning success). These two three-year-olds were too darling for words this morning, so nothing but a photo would do. Here, they are "camping," and it's bedtime. Fooey appears to be reading her friend a bedtime story. (This is the kind of thing they do often--on their last playdate, they were playing that they were "friends who read books together." My melting heart!).

And here is something else they've taken to doing: playing with Playmobil people and animals and a bit of furniture on the two chairs before the big windows in the living-room. They each set up house on a chair, so as to prevent a crawling and nosy certain little brother from demolishing the fun. Here, Fooey mugs for the camera while CJ sees his chance to sneak in for some loot.
