comings and goings

I haven't posted new pictures in what seems like forever. So, this is what we've been up to lately.We thought this was cute until we decided we shouldn't reinforce the fun game of climbing on the dishwasher door.

Mitch's first experience with pudding paint was a smashing success. His friend, Talmage, who is just a few days older than Mitch was a little more hesitant. Talmage is a "texture" kid. Whereas Mitch jumped right into the pudding paint, Talmage took a bit more time. And even then, he didn't go too crazy. These two kids are about as different as night and day. Talmage is way more expressive (verbally and facial expressions) and hands-on. Mitch would prefer to read books all day long. Talmage is a bit more aggressive and even has pinned Mitch down. I wish I had a picture of that! Mitch doesn't even care when Talmage gets in his face. So I am somewhat surprised that Mitch "let loose" on the pudding paint. Personality wise, it seems like it should have been the other way around. Any way around it, I like visiting with Talmage's mom and we have a good time wrestling our toddlers together!
