When CJ was sick a few weeks ago, we had to postpone a trip to see cousins in FL. Even though we only got to stay for a few days, he got some serious loving time with them.
I loved to see him and Jayden start to be interested in each other. Jayden had lots of older people at his house, so it was funny to see him be interested in another person about his size playing with his toys and sitting in his high chair. He would just look at CJ. Very, very cute.
And CJ LOVES Kayley and Lexi...always has. Those girls make him melt. Here are a few shots of Kayley and the boys and then Kayley, Lexi and the boys. (For those who can't tell them apart...aka Uncle Scott).
The funniest part of the whole trip was Saturday morning in the pool. CJ wasn't too amped about going in because the water is pretty cold. But, he was very interested in having Kayley and Lexi help him get things just so-so outside. First, when we were in the pool, he wanted the balls at the other end. They would bring them to him, he would hit them, they would float away, he would point at them, and the girls would bring them back. Then, when CJ had enough of the water, this game continued with him directing from the edge of the pool and the girls bringing him the balls and as well as rafts. He would stack them just so on the edge of the pool, and then throw them all back in. Then the game would repeat. They were so patient and sweet with him.
CJ has also become very interested in shoes. If he sees shoes not being worn, and you are barefoot, watch out! He's coming for you. I told the girls that he convinced his Nannie to wear shoes in the pool the day before, and they thought that was funny. They wanted to see what he would do, so they got out some flip flops, and sure enough, it wasn't long before Kayley and Lexi were also swimming in shoes.
And he also was concerned that Kayley and Lexi stay hydrated. Nannie brought us all some water in plastic tumblers, and once CJ saw Nannie take a glass to Kayley and Lexi, who were still in the pool, he decided they hadn't drank enough. He would carry the glasses back and forth from the table to the girls. He didn't want them to help though...he wanted to hold the cup and pour it into their mouths. They were so sweet to take multiple dousings of ice water.
