First out the room was Buddy, eager to catch up with Dad (and clean the floor).
Buggy, a bit more tired, was a tad tentative.

Nap Time Over
WITH nap time over, Dad simply took the Twins out of their cribs, put them down on the floor, and left the room (he did secure Buggy's explorer cap on her).
First out the room was Buddy, eager to catch up with Dad (and clean the floor).
Buggy, a bit more tired, was a tad tentative.

Snack Time
PLAYTIME can cause big hunger, thus necessitating a snack break. At this point in their lives, Dad is superfluous at feeding time as that they can feed themselves.
He still does have a little value left in preparing the bottles. The Twins can't do that yet. But he has seen the writing on the wall.

Standing Up, Falling Down
AT this point in their lives, the New Family Twins are actively working at standing and staying standing up. Liesel can pull herself upright and regularly does so. EJ cannot yet (will not?), but if put in an upright position, he can maintain it for a while.
Buggy has not learned how to protect her head during a fall so she gets to wear the Thudgard helmet when she is outside of the padded play space. Buddy instinctively tucks his head when he falls and so does not need one. He is, however, very sensitive and will cry out in surprise on the rare occasion he falls. Buggy rarely cries when she falls. She is eerily silent when her head goes thud.
While in the play space, her head is protected by thick yoga mats, though they do not cover the entire area and she does seem to find the protective voids.
The padding extends to Buggy's crib where she could bang her head against the top rails.

Snow Day!
THE possibility of being snowed in by a forecasted mega-snow caused many schools and businesses to close early or not open at all today. The New Family Mom's employer opted for the latter and let its people work from home.
Ooooh, the anticipation! The excitement! A snow day, a day where, when you were a child, you got to do something different than the ordinary, everyday, boring routine. No matter how much you loved school, the excitement and possibility afforded by a day off, a chance to do something different, was always tantalizing. What was too much snow for the adults was just enough snow for fun for kids.
The Twins are too young yet for sledding down hills, skating on ponds, or venturing out in cold weather for extended periods, but just the right age for extra-special attention.

Buddy in His Rugby
DAD likes this shirt!
Wonder why?
This is one of Dad's favorite shirts. Mom calls it his "Big Boy" shirt meaning that it makes him look like a little boy when he wears it and so she needs to affirm him as if he were by saying that he is "such a big boy!"

An Early Birthday Present
NEW Family Grandma and Grandpa Woodall purchased the Twins a green wagon for their birthday (which is not until 06/11/12, but just a reminder for you adoring fans that wish to send the Twins birthday greetings).
New Family Mom and Dad and bought the trailer. Isn't it adorable? Now there is room to carry them and all of their stuff.
The wagon is from Step 2. It has seat belts to secure the little ones.
Mom and Dad now await the weather to turn so they can make use of it.
