Freecycle, Rothko, Peekaboo, Puzzles

Samuel and Shira love our newest Freecycle acquisition. Samuel spends most of the time doing things to crack Shira up as they sit next to each other in our 'new to us' Twin Maclaren.
Of course the downside to this (why is there always a downside?) is that Samuel is constantly cracking Shira up when he is sitting next to her. It would be putting it lightly to say that it is difficult for Shira to fall asleep when she is giggling hysterically at Samuel playing peekaboo with her. This is of course followed by hysterical crying when she remembers how tired she is. And hysterical yelling by me when Samuel continues to play peekaboo as she screams. And hysterical sobbing by Samuel when I tell him to get out of the stroller and walk if he can't let Shira sleep. Did I say I liked this stroller? I really do. There are just moments...

Samuel's Rothko phase:Shira now loves to play peekaboo. One favorite version is to race over to the bathroom whenever anyone is in there, and shut the door, then open it again and peer in with a huge grin on her face
And Samuel's new skill is puzzles. After just a little bit of coaching from Steve, he is putting together all of the puzzles he can find
