The boys are still getting along great, but have also started enjoying some time doing their own thing throughout the day too. Micah has started to enjoy working on projects for longer periods of time, which leaves Ezra to wander off and find something on his own to do when he realizes that Micah is going to be longer than he would like. Often, Micah's projects are tapping into his creative side more and he has started using craft materials and boxes to make things as well as his new Lincoln logs to build buildings. Ezra still prefers short spurts of activity (trains, trucks, the shape sorter, and stamps) but will play with them alone pretty well. Ezra also loves to help with almost all jobs around the house, so we will often fold laundry, cook, and clean while Micah works or plays independently on his projects.
As we're getting closer to Christmas, the boys are getting very excited and have started preparing their presents for everyone! They've also been receiving a few presents early from family and have been trying those out as well. On Tuesday, the library hosted a Meet the Penguin event put on by the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati. They brought an African penguin to meet the kids (and learn about them of course!). The boys thought the penguin was pretty fascinating and even got to touch her at the end of the presentation! On Friday, Matt and I got an evening out at the annual Christmas party put on by Matt's residency. Grandma came to watch the boys and we had a great time getting to socialize with the other residency couples.
