After Nap

We have a little after nap ritual that began as soon as the kids' naps started to overlap a few months ago. Whoever wakes up first goes into the bed/crib of the other one when he or she wakes up to say hello, cuddle, roughhouse, etc. Today it was Olivia in Collin's bed (usually it is the other way around). It was also the first time she got down off his bed by herself successfully! She's really a toddler now. :)

Tomorrow is supposed to get cold, like real winter temps in the 30s and maybe a dusting of snow, so we took advantage of getting outside again in the nice weather. Collin and Johanna were all fun and games until he threw dirt into his own eye and made himself cry and then a stick that hit Jo in the face and made her cry. [God, I hope he learned his lesson about throwing crap...we've been over it a thousand and one times and just as many naughty corners, but sometimes it takes a little dirt in your own eye to realize that, yeah, it really hurts when things hit you in the face, which means it will hurt someone else, which means don't throw stuff! Geez.] Yup, two wailing children was the cue to go home! At least Olivia was able to stay out of it all. Btw, she is sounding much better today. A couple more days, and she'll be back to normal, I bet.
