F.E.A.R.L.E.S.S.

These past few weeks on Tuesday Monkey Joe's has had free admission so I have happily brought the boys so Tiger can play. He absolutely LOVES it and is pretty worn out by the time we come home. The first time I brought them he started going up this very tall ladder on one of the inflatables and I was very nervous watching him (he is only 2!) but decided to let him go do his thing while I watched with bated breath. I didn't know if he would get half way up and I would have to rescue him or what. Well, it turns out he went all the way up the ladder by himself and fearlessly went zipping down the slide with no trouble at all. And we're talking multiple times. Sometimes he would be going so fast he would uncontrollably flip end over end when he hit the bottom but he would always just hop right up with a big old smile. After I got over the urge to have a heart attack every time he did this, I snapped some pictures:

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!



Pretty satisfied with himself.

Oh-and I should mention that Tuesday is also the day we have our sweet and wonderful housekeeper come every other week. I guess since this is also the same day as Monkey Joe's Tiger now thinks Lupe's name is Monkey Joe's. Somehow in that amazing little brain of his he has combined her coming on Tuesday with the fact that we often go to Monkey Joe's on the same day she comes and that has morphed into him thinking that is her name. She walked by him while he was eating lunch this past Tuesday and he said "Monkey Joe's is working!" And whenever he sees her he excitedly says "Monkey Joe's!" Haha-that child is hilarious.

And here is a picture of my sweet little Eli. We got this swing for $10 off of craigslist and it has been the best purchase for him! It gives him something to do while Tiger is playing in the back yard and it really relaxes him. That is-as long as you don't swing him too high. If you do, he holds his breath and gets a red face. I guess it makes him feel out of control. So we keep it an easy ride for him for now. I know it won't be long until he is begging to go higher and faster and climbing all over everything like his fearless brother Tiger Mitch.
