The Pirate Ship

One of the presents our boys got for their birthday was a pirate ship. Yesterday afternoon, they had fun playing with it together. What you might not be able to see in the video is that there is a string connected to the front of the ship to allow children to pull it around.

Grandma Myrtle arrived Sunday to help me with the boys while the Twin-Daddy is off teaching Spanish fencing for a week in Australia and then at a workshop near Chicago. He’ll only have around a day and a half at home in between trips. He’ll be tired. My sister Linda drove out the last 2 legs of the trip with Grandma and got to visit a little before flying out on Monday just before the Twin-Daddy.

Dom and Alex were a little shy getting to know Grandma and Aunt Linda again, but they soon warmed up to flirt and chat. They loved all the attention! Yesterday evening our boys played together really well and giggled a ton as they played with their pirate ship, their Playzone wall spinners, their tunnel, and so many other things. It was wonderful to hear so much joy.

Here’s another video from early August of the boys playing with the belt of their daddy’s robe:
