Playdate with Parker…

Parker’s mommy couldn’t find a babysitter yesterday, so he came to play with McCanless! They were both so excited about going to the pool, they put on their bathing suits and swimmies at 9:00 AM and were ready to go! Good thing it took me about an hour to pack up my entire house for the pool trip because the pool opens at 10.

We had to strip out of the swim suits (that were on wrong anyway), apply sunblock with a fight from McCanless, fix hair..another fight from McCanless because she wanted Parker to wear a bow, put swimmies back on, pack snacks (which made them both want a snack…and resulted in a “mine” fight), pack balls, tea set, dive sticks, rubber ducky, baby doll, towels, baby sunscreen, face block, a change of clothes for each and finally, we were ready. As we loaded up the golf cart, Parker announced he had to go potty….For those of you with twins…I not only admire you, I am so, so thankful that you have them and not me!!!

It actually was a fun day, and McCanless had an amazing discovery when I took both of them to the pool potty! As I stripped Parker down, and held him up to the potty, McCanless grabbed her mouth with both hands and started laughing hysterically! I thought, “well, this is the first time she has seen a “boy” go potty, I guess.” When I asked her what was so funny, she replied smiling, “Look mommy, he has a ponytail” and laughed out loud.

They were both going after the ball here. Notice McCanless has her “claws” in Parker’s back. She had quite a difficult time sharing.

I could NEVER get them both to look at the camera at the same time!!
