Caleb and Lucy love to make up and tell us stories. Watching them play and make up new games is my favorite. In the mornings they have started to have "sleepovers". They go into each others rooms, lay out blankets on the floor and then just talk and play together. Mom and Dad have been loving this change from climbing on us in bed. They even entertain Toby in the crib if he is awake.
Caleb, Lucy and Toby are constantly playing superheroes and making up stories about how they have to save us. Caleb has been wearing his Spiderman costume under his clothes almost daily. This is what Peter Parker does so that he is able to change into Spiderman at a moments notice. The costume has muscles which look even funnier when they are under a shirt. The photo below is him with his muscles and small waterbottle. I had laughed and asked him if that was his muscle milk. He rufused to drink other milk (which is is favorite) and just kept filing his muscle milk all day. Yesterday he put one end of a shoestring up his sleeve and held the in his fist so that he was able to shoot webbing from his wrist!! Lucy often joins in with her Supergirl costume.
They also love to pretend they are animals. Usually when I babysit they pretend they are a pack of jaguars, but their current favorite is playing dog. They crawl around on all fours and pant with their tongues out. Toby is even getting into the pretending! He pants and barks likes a dog. When I put Lucy to bed last night, she asked me how dogs lay down so that she could be authentic even while she slept.
They have been dogs all morning today. Caleb told me that I needed to feed him his cereal because dogs cannot hold spoons. Then he found 2 stickers from yesterday and put them on his palms to make them look more like paws. When he found more pages of stickers they decided that they were dalamtions. They got out lots of stickers and put them all over their bodies as spots. They have one on each palm and each foot for the paws, of course one covering their belly button and then all over.
