Proximity and Muse

Since August has no sports going on right now and is always with me, I find that he is my muse of late. I watch him and get to think of his brothers at his age. I get to spark off of his creativity while getting to see the way he thinks and hear how he feels. Unlike his older brothers who become a mystery to me now. I mean, don't get me wrong we talk and have connections. Still, children become less transparent as they age. August is always in close proximity to me, so our adventures are documented more thoroughly... 

This (picture below) was the first day Mitch watched August for us.

We went to our tax appointment. Yay...

 

August has shown a lot of interest in the anatomy torso that we have. So we took the time going over all of the body parts and assembling them. It was oddly fun.

Except that he keeps referring to it as "the dead guy".

 Putting the liver back in was the hardest. The intestines just do not fit like they should...

Here is one of his usually playtimes in the living room...

 

Then there was the day I had three papers to write and someone kept wanting me to play hide and seek...

How can I say no to a face like that?

While playing I spy, August noticed the awesome sunset outside...

 

More pics of August and his best bud here...

 

And of course, the always popular bathtime.

This time we were able to use a lot of our body paints and dinosaurs to have an epic battle over the faucet. I'll never forget how many dinosaurs were lost that day in the warm depth of the bath tub. They just didn't stand a chance against Augzilla...

 

Last, we tried to download an app to respond to some videos we got from uncle Max and aunt Rebecca...but, I have a windows phone and the app only takes funny pictures.

It was still fun.

Love this kid.
