Like Sister, Like Brother

Eve is definitely an explorer. She goes around looking for things to chew on, stare at, and play with. She is not afraid of anything, so far, and loves to climb over things. Well, she discover something new at the park: the bars that help kids climb up to the monkey bars. No, she did not try to climb them (thank goodness!), but instead decided that it might be fun to climb over the very lowest bar to the other side of the wood chips. She put her head in between the bars, then her body, and then tried to touch the other side. She sort of made it, but was not quite satisfied with that. So, she decided to lunge her body over the bar to the other side. I waited for a reaction: a cry, a scream. Nothing happened. She smiled, chuckled and went to do it again. It was a hit!

Reed, seeing that Eve was having so much fun, decided that it would be fun to copy her. If he ever sees Eve doing something fun, he copies her. So, I guess it goes the other way to: like sister, like brother. Reed likes to do what Eve does as well. Ah, what a symbiotic relationship these two have. :) Gotta love good park days (this one was on 11/11/10)! It always brings out the adventure in us all!

Week 5 - Reed learned about Native Americans. He loved his headband with the feather! (11/10/10)


Exploring the wood chips - searching for something new.

Reed posed so nicely. :)

Eve - the adventuresome one lunging herself onto her hands and over the blue bar.

Reed has joined in the fun.

He even crawls like Eve - funny kid.

Eve is now a huge fan of slides - she loves going down them head first on her tummy.

Chewing on sticks, just like Reed.

I'm sure they are having some deep conversation about wood chips. I love that they play together and (usually) have a good time.
