Connor is all about Bob the Builder. Everything from the tv show, video tape, books, small plastic replica toys from Target, etc. Bob, Wendy, Muck (red), "Rot and Roll" (green roller), Lofty (blue crane), and his favorite - Scoop (yellow). They both loved watching Alberto (aka "Beedo") do all the landscape in the yard. Connor especially loved the tractor (small front loader) they drove around all the time moving dirt. Avery started to show that she's scared of loud noises, when the tractor would drive by, or even when the trash truck comes around. The funny part - when something loud is nearby, she'll cover her eyes - "eesh, too loud, can't look".
Avery is into puzzles, books, stickers, computer. She's actually starting to understand moving the mouse on the table and associate it with the onscreen cursor. When she comes down in the morning, for the past 2 weeks when Grandma "Baba Ann" has been here, Avery immediately goes into the "payroom" to start doing puzzles and stuff with gma.
They both have the gmas/gpas down pretty well:
- Baba Ann, em-pee
- Ancy, Tiff
Took them to LegoLand with gma/gpa Hanan last weekend. Avery still claims to be not into the big boat ride, but then when we get her on the boat, she's pretty ok. At the end, by the octopus band, she covers her eyes, cuz it's "too loud, can't look". Connor was afraid to tell the "man" at the duplo building area that the earthquake shaker thing was not working. Daddy suggested they tell the man that it doesn't work -- the rest of the day, Connor was saying "no show man" -- maybe he thought he would get in trouble.
