The "ball toy", as we call it, it the second favorite. It has a small slide meant for light weight balls to roll down. The balls disappear into a hole and come popping out the top of the toy. The basic premise of the toy entertained them for all of a week. Now, Gabe and Nat love to plug it up with whatever they can find. Kix (our wheat-free alternative to Cheerios) go spewing all around the room. The legos, duplos and Nuks just tend to get stuck in the tube until mom fixes it. Their most recent idea is to ride it around like a car, complete with "vroom" sounds, of course.
Gotta love little helpers! Post-breakfast and post-lunch they are wonderful little cleaners.
We discovered the joy of songs from Yo Gabba Gabba. Gabe absolutely loves to attempt to say "Yo Gabba Gabba" but is sounds more like "Flablahshavfla." If you aren't familiar with the show, you have to check it out. I had heard a lot about it, but I had never seen it. It's quirky, educational, and oh-so fun and entertaining.
Daddy found that Gabe loves basketball on television. He'll actually watch it. These two don't sit still for more that 3 minutes in front of the tv, which I am very happy about. When a basketball game comes on he yells "ball!" and proceeds to bounce up and down (mimicking the dribbling of the ball, I assume) with his eyes glued to the set. It's hysterical.
Nat is obsessed with nipples, yes, nipples. He tries to find his own, grabs his brothers and attempts to pull everyone's shirt down to determine if they, like him, have nipples.
He has also started becoming more "independent." That's my nice way of saying that he has started throwing tantrums and screaming when he doesn't get his way, or isn't doing something that he would like to on his own. He has also entered the biting stage. Unfortunately, having a twin brother as a readily available target makes life a bit more difficult for mommy, but mostly Gabe.
