Lately I've been trying to do things with Luke that only "big boys" can do. He is doing much better with Parker but every now and then he gets clingy (usually when Parker is fussy and I'm holding him).
While we were at Target the other day, I saw little Playdoh kits with a few different colors and some numbers to imprint into it. I was probably a little too OCD about covering everything before we started but Luke loved it. I was too chicken to pull it all out when I was by myself with both boys during the day... just in case Parker got fussy. So I played with Luke for a little bit while Jonathan took pictures until it was time for Parker to eat. The next day I covered Luke's highchair and let him play there by himself. He did great and it kept him entertained for quite a while!
A few days later I pulled out my cookie cutters and asked Luke if he would like to help me make cookies for dessert. He said yes but I'm sure he didn't know what he was getting in to! He got to pick three colors for the cookie dough and a few different cookie cutters. He helped me spread the flour, then roll out the dough and then cut the cookies out. He did not like the flour getting on his sleeve! Haha! But I do think he enjoyed the experience and of course eating his creations! :)
I finally feel like I have my head above water with both boys. There are still times that Luke has a two year old moment when I'm feeding Parker and can't do anything about it. I think he's figured that out! :) More than anything we are loving being a family of four and taking it all in!
