A Boy in a Girl's World

Oh, little brothers. They will just play anything in order to be included. Well, at least that's how it is with this little brother. :)

This is what I saw when I came up the stairs. Lainey was busily preparing food for Walker and me.

throwing back his cup of tea during his meal (sound effects are included, by the way)

"Oooh, strawberries. And carrots!"

more tea (he is a good guest)

And, here's Lainey, posing for a picture with Cinderella.

Lately Lainey has been very into princesses. Just this evening, we played "Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella." I was Cinderella, and Lainey was Sleeping Beauty. Reagan was Tiana. And Walker was Jasmine. Although I was able to convince Lainey that Walker should be the prince instead of Jasmine. Our backyard was scene of the grand ball, and her scooter was her carriage. :)

And I quote... "Chef Lainey at your service, madam."

Can you see his excitement at being given the opportunity to explore his sister's tiny-shoes-and-clothes-and-dolls-and-accessories drawers?

This boy is so happy. I have no idea what Lainey was doing or why she didn't care that he was getting into her stuff.

using his fork like a big boy

Walker is surprisingly skilled at using his fork (still working on the spoon). He uses it almost as much as Lainey does. He tries to put everything on his fork, like apples, blueberries, his sandwich, tortilla chips...you name it. He gets frustrated if he can't get the piece of food on there, so we help him every now and then. Although, we have yet to figure out how to use a fork to stab a tortilla chip...

And here's our shaggy Princess. She so needs a haircut and a bath! Especially with this heat that we are already experiencing!
