we had a very busy morning! we started out the morning playing a sharing game. the kids were sitting in a hula hoop playing with squinkies and i can't take hearing "MINE!" screamed over and over again! so i sat down and bribed them with a treat if they played a game with me. they took turns giving each other one of their own squinkies. we did a lot of high fiving and clapping every time rex gave malloy a squinkie. i'm hoping that more of this kind of play will help rex (and malloy!) out a bit with sharing.
after playing for a while, we got all packed up and went to the zoo with friends! it was a fun trip and a beautiful day!
when we got back, rex was trying very hard to poop. i asked if he wanted to go on the potty and he was excited to try! he peed and pooped on the potty! such a big boy! he's really excited to go on the potty just like malloy!!

playing a sharing game!

getting a treat for playing the game

lounging

watching the sea lion

one of their favorite parts of the zoo!

all tuckered out on the way home from the zoo. malloy told me that she was the mommy and rex was the daddy of the care bear :)

potty time!

i know it's gross but i documented malloy's first poop, too!
