Playing outside

In between the humid or windy weather, we have been enjoying the cool, crisp snaps that have been staying for a day or two this December. I'm so thankful to have a backyard where the girls can sit and play, and look forward to many more hours outside as they get older.

I usually just bring a big beach towel outside and let them sit on it and play with their toys. Lately, I have been trying to sneak in a few minutes of reading time while the girls are playing. Claire loves her set of keys; she always shakes them and smiles.

Her other favorite activity is banging two blocks together. She can do that for a very long time and not get bored!

Caroline loves to give me cheesy smiles; she has started squinting her eyes when she smiles now and it makes me laugh so hard. She's a little ham!

She, too, loves the blocks!

Even Jack jumps in and enjoys the fun. The girls love to watch him and they all three just sit and play so well together. Jack never bothers the girls, and the girls really just turn around occasionally to check that he's still there, and give him a little pat. They are all very gentle with each other (so far).
