Two Weeks of Twins

       We met some fun friends in the neighborhood. My friend Barbara just went back to work three days a week, so I'm helping her out by watching her kiddos for a couple weeks.  She has a little guy Nate that is just a few months younger than Bridger, and a baby girl Ellie that is 5 months old (two months younger than Myra).  I am on my second week of watching them.
       They are fun kids.  Nate and Bridger get along so well!  I love watching them interact together.  They both talk well and they have the cutest conversations.  Myra and Ellie look at each other.  Sometimes when Ellie starts crying so does Myra.  That's about the extent of their interactions.  The boys are super easy and fun.  The babies are a little more work, Ellie isn't quite as content as Myra.  It has kept me busy!

      One of the good things about having an old couch is that it is lots of fun to play on the cushions!  Bridger does this all on his own.  He pulls off the cushions, and lines them all up in just the way he wants them.  Sometimes he spaces them out and they play leapfrog.  Sometimes he props the cushion against the couch to use for a slide.  So many fun uses!
 Yeah... Bridger was right, he did make it! 
Who says boys don't have dance parties?
       But they definitely dance differently from little girls.  Bridger has three basic dance moves: running in circles, spinning in circles and jumping.  They make me laugh!
(This is after they had already been running a while and were getting tired).
