In addition to his new piano book, Corwin has also acquired a taste for my leather hat, which you can see in the current banner picture. He had a lot of fun with it when we were taking the picture.
This evening I came home in time to see the boys before they went to bed. Corwin unlocked the door for me. I thought he was happy to see me but instead he wanted my hat (which I was wearing because it was raining). Corwin demanded the hat and off he went.
Charles was a bit more friendly - he came over and whacked me in the thigh with his helicopter to show that he cared. He was carrying around a book with a hook on the helicopter. I had to help him a bit with keeping the book attached to the hook.
The book became a point of contention later, of course. Charles put it down to play with just the helicopter and make Mom and Dad read him some books (he can now say “read the book!”). Corwin then picked it up to do some of the activities in it, at which point Charles became upset that he couldn’t use the book anymore. Mom spent the rest of the evening before bed fending off Charles who was trying to reacquire the book. His preferred technique was to crawl on Mom like a little leech (I tried to help remove him but he was actually latched on quite well). While this was going on Mom and Corwin attempted to play Hang Man in the activity book. Corwin stumped Mom with the word “TV”, although Mom declared acronyms off limits afterwards. She’s quite the stickler.
