Rocking Horse and other Accomplishments

Clayton has had a busy day! Since Daddy is out of town for state track all weekend, Mommy and the boys went to stay in Lincoln with Grandpa Mark and Grandma Dianne. We came down Thursday evening and plan to go home on Saturday evening at bedtime (Clayton and Reese will hopefully sleep in the car!). Clayton spent a large chunk of his day outside (but still had time to watch the movie Cars almost twice!) He was so tired he was hardly able to enjoy this awesome homemade rocking horse that belonged to Aunt Amy when she was little.

He sat on it for a little while but wanted down right away - too tired! Hopefully tomorrow he can get some more use out of it.

Clayton's other big accomplishment for the day is mastering the slide and big boy swing on the swing set here. He can climb up the 3 step ladder and down the slide (maybe 4 feet?) ALL BY HIMSELF. I had to show him how the ladder worked the first few times but then he did it several times all on his own - mommy was so proud. Latter he even sat in one of the regular swings and held on all by himself while mommy pushed (gently).

Reese had big news too - his first giggles! He thinks Grandpa Mark is pretty funny and had his first giggles from some tickles. Sadly, my video camera was too far away to catch any on film! I'm sure he'll giggle again though soon!
