Laney goes to preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. This is her second week at school, and I have enjoyed each of those mornings because they offer me a precious 3 hours alone with Liam to play. It is amazing how differently he plays when he is flying solo. No older sister to tell him what to do, or to steal his toys. Let's face it, watching Laney attempt to play with Liam is like watching a t-rex sneak up on a herbivore. I don't know what is going to happen, but I do know that there will be carnage.
This morning he crawled around gleefully holding toys in the air as though he had just found precious gemstones lying in the sand. He was thrilled to get the toys to himself and I swear he was playing with all of Laney's favorites just to spite her. It was interesting to watch him decide what to do with the toys and how to interact with them, something that he doesn't get to do that often. In fact most play sessions with L&L end with me slipping on my referee jersey and sending my two prize fighters back to their respective corners. Sure they play together nicely a lot of the time, but mostly they seem to covet what the other has which has now led me to buy 2 of everything (including Rub-a-dub-dub Bathing Doll...it's a long story).
While I know that all kids fight, it sure would be nice to see them sitting side-by-side sharing nicely for once. Oh well. A mom can always dream.

| Heading to the Yellow Class for 3 year olds. The Lady-Pack-Pack holds a change of clothes and Lovey! |
 |
| A little shell-shocked over the whole thing, but by today (3rd day of class), school was proclaimed to be "fun" and she is looking forward to going back on Thursday :) |
 |
| Playing by himself this morning. If only I had a shot of him with his whole upper body in the cube...he was looking for toys in the bottom of it. So precious! |
 |
| Notice that he is wearing Laney's shirt since it was the only clean kid's shirt in the dryer this morning. |
