nearness

so tristan has taken to climbing behind me on the chair if I'm on neal's computer. sometimes he does the rocking on his belly thing that looks weird and I distract him, as the school suggests that. This evening he climed up here and laid on his back behind me with his feet in the air playing with somethign (I don't remember what it was, he likes to play with objects in his hands) wish I had my camera handy at the time.

Hugs

Joy is having him turn look you straight in the eye, walk up to you, and open his arms while smiling

:)

Soooo Cute

Tristan has been put to bed.

I just heard him, it sounded like he was right by his door (he climbs
off the bed and falls asleep there frequently)

he said, quietly, 'wiwy' (which we've figured is 'Lily')

I had to fight the urge to run in there, scoop him up and hug him.

New Combined blog!

Beware, also has my random thoughts

but news about kids too!

NaviMama

so far I've just got Lily and Tristan's March 1 posts up.

oh, and I'll still be updating these, too. the new one is if people only want one blog to check. email posts will make it fairly easy to cross post. I'm keeping these up in case any of the small handful of people who reads these only wants to check one of the blogs.

he came up to me as I was at the puter and rested his head on my shoulder and was hugging me (alternating between shoulders) and then he grabbed my cheeks and ran away. was trying to aim lower with the camera to have more of him in the shot. none of the other pictures came out right. this was the closest

kinda hard to aim when the kid is hanging on your arms.

then afterward, I went to take care of some groceries, and he took my hand and walked to the water table and proudly showed me that he had dumped my camera in it...

more water table

I pushed it under the table to get it out of the way as we were
heading to go shopping. it's just barely under the table so he pulled
the drawer out just a bit so he could still play with the water

Just totally made Tristan's day.

Tested the drawer, to make sure it would hold water without leaking, then ripped the top off of it and turned it into an inexpensive water table. He had fun. after Lola walked away, he proceeded to dance around it with one hand in the water. :)

sleepy

Tristan likes to sleep near a fan

We were trying to get Lily to sleep in her playyard and had a fan
nearby. She was going in and out of it because she'd wake up and
scream when we tried to put her in it. Tristan apparently figured out
that she'd be sleeping there and pointed the fan towards the playpen
and then curled up on the floor with a pillow right next to the
playpen.
