4 Wheelers & Facebook

Last night one of our Almaty friends posted to Facebook photos from the Rotary Ball and some family photos.

Today we had some problems reaching Randy on Skype so I showed the boys the photos. I showed them that their Mommy has clothes other than blue jeans and football jerseys. When we looked at the family photos in Almaty, I explained that these were people they would meet in a few weeks.

We then decided to see if we could find other photos on Facebook. They saw one of our neighbors on his 4 wheeler with his daughter. I explained to the boys how we have a 4 wheeler and we can take them on rides. We saw another neighbor's little boy. Ty liked that he was playing outside. Then we found a photo of Daddy on the Pedal Pub. I laughed and said "Silly Daddy" which was repeated.

The boys recently have become interested in power cords. Maxx had one and was pretending it was a snake that would bite everyone in the room. Not to be outdone, I had to find a cord for Ty. I gave Ty the powercord for the video camera. He tied it to the front of the riding toy truck and pretended it was a winch. Later when he was twirling it around he hit his head with it. I gave him my hand mirror so he could see his boo-boo.

Maxx was playing with a pen and decided it was a syringe for injections. He gave the translator a shot that turned her into a spider (his idea). When he gave me my shot he was disappointed that I wouldn't cry. I showed him how Ace gets shots on the back of his neck. All the stuffed animals needed to get shots and Maxx hollered at them to cry afterwards.
