Being stuck at home all the time is hard. Peter goes days on end without leaving our house and yard. Other than the grocery store and the playground, he doesn't go anywhere at all. I was passing by the salvation army on the way home from an errand this week and decided to see if they had any fun toys for him. Their selection was grim but I found a ride-on toy I knew he would like and a pogo stick for Christian. The two have had a blast this week playing with their new toys. Peter hasn't quite mastered going forward on it, but he can push off and roll backwards like a champ. Luckily he has Christian to push him around forwards and between this toy and the cozy coup car, the two are racing around the house all day long. It's fun to see them together like that. I hope Christian takes a long time to outgrow his fun, childlike playfulness. He's always up for physical, imaginative play. The other two have a very short attention span for play with Peter, but Christian can entertain him and play with him nearly all day.
Bella and I have been decorating for Christmas and so all the pumpkins needed to go. I had several small decorative pumpkins and all the ones we'd painted sitting around the living room as decoration. I took them outside and told Christian he could smash them up so I could place them in the compost bin. He was so excited. I don't know who enjoyed it more - Christian or Peter. Peter was laughing the whole time Christian was smashing. He loved watching the gourds explode and the seeds fly out. It was adorable.
Peter still loves to sit in the fridge. He also loves to mess with people's laptops, so we gave him an old, broken one to play with as his. Today he dragged the laptop over to the fridge and created his own little office space, complete with rubber band ball. He sat and typed for several minutes. I guess he doesn't want to be the only one in the house without an office.
