Photo Friday: Play

Sometimes when I'm tired, the only "play" (the theme for Photo Friday this week) I can handle is the play my boy needs. And sometimes, even then, I can barely manage that! I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired... and oh, I'M TIRED. But he's my boy, and he needs the love, and I'd do pretty much anything for this kid. So when I'm in that PARTICULAR state of tired, I "play" with my boy by sitting on the floor and letting him climb all over me like a jungle-gym.

I let him use my hair to pull himself up (although I tend to mention to him that I'd prefer he used my arms, legs, or clothes).

I let him scoot over my legs to one side, and then back to the other, and then back to the other again.

I tackle him in a football hold and roll back and forth on my back with him pinned close to me so I can zerbert his head with every roll.

And quite often, I even drag him back by his ankles whenever he tries to get away from me.

What a smile! My girl is very smiley, but she often stops as soon as I point the camera at her.

He is looking so much like a kid rather than a baby!

I am also a jungle gym and a rapunzel rope, but I can't do the rolling move because the other twin would likely be underfoot and get steamrolled in the process.

What a gorgeous smile he has! Play sessions like that are so much fun.

He is sooo beautiful!!!

My boys love it when Tim and I are human jungle gyms, too. And the pulling them back by their ankles, gives them the giggles every time!

Cute cute cute.

The squeals you get when you drag him back to you by his ankles are great, hey?

He is soooo cute. My son is always next to me. I cherish it cause soon he will be embarrassed to be around me!

Yea, the giggles and squeals with the ankle-dragging is awesome. I'm enjoying it while he'll still let me:-)

Jamie said...

He's quite a charmer!

My boy likes that kind of play, too. He likes to be chased. And being drug back by is ankles is a big hit.

The one thing I can't figure out is why this tires me out so bad but not him.
