Fun Stuff

I recently captured some miscellaneous video of the kids having fun:

Kevin and the Dora House

One night, after his bath, Kevin crawled into Andrea's room and started playing with her Dora House. He suddenly discovered that some of the items in the house talk/make music when you press them. Now, Kevin loves music, and although he can't stand up yet, he has his own ways of moving to the music. I had to laugh, because on this particular night, he was wiggling, laughing, and tapping his hands on the floor when the music came on!

Kevin's Bath-time Fun

Actually, it's gotten to the point where Kevin has too much fun in the bathtub. In fact, we've had to revert back to bathing Kevin and Andrea separately, because Kevin is so wild in the bathtub, and Andrea gets mad at him. She yells at him and starts pushing him, and he thinks she's just playing, so he does it more! So, back to separate baths. Kevin likes to crawl around the tub, throw the toys and bottles out, and splash a lot. Andrea doesn't mind it when she can watch from the outside. In fact, she likes to toss the toys back into the tub for him. Kevin has also chosen the tub, of all places, to begin pulling himself up to standing! We want to encourage him, but what a place to start pulling himself up (and he only does it in the tub)! It makes me very nervous. We can't leave him alone for a second!

"Midget Toss"

Yes, the politically incorrect games have returned in the Gagnon household. It started with Daddy tossing Andrea onto our bed one night, before her bath. Of course, she loved it, and wanted him to do it again. When he called her over, he said, "C'mere, Midget!" and the "Midget Toss" was born. Now, Andrea comes to us every night, before and after bath, and demands her "Midget Toss." Kevin loves it too, and sits on the floor and gets excited as he waits for his turn. (The night I got this video, Kevin was already asleep . . . and excuse the pile of laundry on my bed!)
