Helen and I have been sharing babysitting time so we can both pursue work opportunities. It's worked out to be quite a good resource and probably good practice for the second addition we both will eventually consider adding to the family! In the meantime, Aiden and Kaelyn enjoy each other. They aren't of the age to play together yet, but they watch each other with deep interest. It's quite cute. Yesterday was a nice sunny afternoon and since Aiden had been a bit under the weather, I decided to keep them outside as much as possible. This meant the snack time had to be in outside chairs this week. This was Kaelyn's first use of the take-along high chair. Since Aiden is a pro, he showed her how it was done. They got on just fine and were such a cute pair together in their matching chairs! Aiden was especially happy that we were all sporting our outdoor hats!
I thought they were especially cute with their sippy cups!
On another note, after Kaelyn's positive experience with the snap pea, I decided to try teething biscuits. Technically, you're not supposed to give teething biscuits till they're about 9 months. But I decided they might be a good option for our upcoming long flight and maybe I should try them first. Well, Kaelyn LOVES the teething biscuit. And frankly, it buys me some time while I get her (and my) food ready with her in the high chair (she's generally quite demanding for her food once she's in the high chair!). But Helen and I decided the biscuit is quite messy and leaves a cement-like product on all bibs and shirts. I have decided I will bring them for the plane but only for an all out emergency. Otherwise we'll all be covered in teething biscuit cement, I'm sure!
