Over the weekend, I went into Washington, DC to visit with Princes Tyger and Lightning. I knew that they would have grown since I last saw them in person and even had an idea of how much they had grown from video conversations with them on Skype. But the real impact didn't hit me until I saw them firsthand. They are not "babies" any more. Not at all. Those days are long gone. Sigh.
Because we have been so afflicted with scorching temperatures lately, the Princes have spent a lot of their outdoor time at local swimming pools. But if a swimming pool is not handy or if no one is disposed to take them to a pool, a hose and sprinkler will do in a pinch. After all, WET is good. In fact, WET is wonderful! So, first they discuss protocol with Proud Papa Big T before actually settling into the wetness.
Prince Tyger is determined to man the bubble blower.
Blowing bubbles is also a fun occupation for hot days, in his opinion.
Prince Lightning, on the other hand, is more fascinated by the hose and sprinkler.
But he is less interested in following the protocol, which is that once the sprinkler is placed in position, it should NOT be moved.
Prince Lightning, now approaching his second year milestone, has a real problem with "No."
But here is one moment of bliss, when everything works as it should.
And two little boys are enjoying the moment.
