Smooth Operator

The boys had a terrific time at the beach this past week. Most of their days were spent playing with their two buddies Maddie and Sophie, exploring the beach, eating, napping, watching Disney movies (a new activity for them), collecting shells, and doing some sort of craft or thinking activity. Not bad for a two year old.

Tas and Chance both enjoyed "the girls" and were sad when they left before us. On Sophie's last night, Brian (her Dad) put on 101 Dalmatians as the after dinner entertainment. Wow - did this movie grab their attention to the point that they were asking for the "puppies" the next day.

During the 101 Dalmatians movie Sophie was sitting on Brian's lap. Tas decided that he wanted to sit up there too. At some point I noticed that Tas was rubbing Sophie's feet. Then, he leaned over like he was going to kiss her! I was sitting right next to them and said "Whoa Tas - what are you doing?" He never really answered me, but he did not kiss her and Brian said, "Heath you at least have to teach him not to make a move on a girl while she is siting on her Dad's lap!" The whole thing was very funny but made me realize that Tas is going to be a smooth operator. We'll have to keep our eye on him. As for Chance, he spent most of the week engineering things - making designs with shells, using shells to decorate our sand collages and other interesting things.

Sunday, we packed up our things and drove up to Kitty Hawk for a kite festival. This was very cool. There were all kinds of giant kites like an octopus, a crocodile (cocodrie) and several others.

Today, was back to work where we got some excellent news - we no lomger have to go do the diabetes daycare routine. the teachers feel comfortable enough doing this without us on days where things are going well - WOW!
