After school, the kids and I usually go on an adventure. From going to the local drug store to make all the singing toys perform while we dance, to the library for books which need to be read while walking back to the car, to the local farm to visit the three Bethlehem police horse (a James favorite I haven't had the chance to catch in a photo), to a shopping center that has outdoor music coming from "rocks" which makes for great outdoor dancing and many other adventures.
The kids are such good friends. Even though they is a great deal of competition for attention, the largest portion and whatever toy seems like the most fun, they are such caring, loving friends of each other. The time and attention they spend on each other is very sweet. I need to remember that it is the times that they are left to their own devices that they take care of each other and work things out on their own. Like the other day when I snuck this photo of Alma reading to James before bedtime (below) or yesterday when she tried to change his dirty diaper before having him sit on a training toilet (an unphotographed mess!).
And, yes, James refuses to weather a jacket most days. Only if we are going to play in the snow can we sneak one onto his body.
