Big Cousins are the Bomb

We have spent short periods of time with my sisters' kids and last night we went to a track meet that all 5 of them were at and for Simon- This. Was. Heaven. Five kids (and some of their friends) all going out of their way to entertain him?? Let's be honest, this was a little heaven like for me as well:) Simon was instant smiles for his cousins and got right to work ordering them around...just reinforcing my hypothesis that the child believes the world is one big game of "Simon Says". He was a little like an orchestra conductor. Point to someone, point to where they should sit on the ground next to him. Point to someone else, point to the ground where they should perform a somersault for him. Lucky for Simon, everyone was happy to oblige.

Touchdown dance?

Here Will- take this ball and do something to make me laugh. Again.

We may have to x-ray Ian's finger to make sure Simon didn't break it while dragging him around.

Even Simon's books are more interesting when his cousins are around.

Track stars, Luke and Savannah, on a break between races.

There's no distracting Bauston when she has a race to win! Sorry L and S, my camera wasn't with me when we were cheering for you!

If laying on your tummy is cool enough for Savannah, it's cool enough for me.
