2 Years, 5 Months, and 6 Days

Ruby & Charlotte are 2 years, 5 months, and 6 days old today. After such a wonderful time at the museum during our first visit, they brought home souvenir colds that lasted about 4 days each. Luckily the colds were fairly mild and never affected their energy levels. I read a book called Simplicity Parenting and have done a major toy purge here (7 large diaper boxes full), as one of the focuses is less is more in order to have more deep play with simpler toys. Ruby & Charlotte do not seem to have noticed the missing toys. And after almost 3 weeks without naps, it seems they might be bringing it back during their quiet time. The last 2 days they have slept. Enjoy the photos!

Under a pile of stuffed toys & dress up items, they decided that they were "hiding in the bushes" and we have no idea where that notion came from:
Completing a picture with colored snap caps while saying "We are working together!" repeatedly:
Ruby plays with a stuffed cow and makes it slide down some triangle-shaped wooden blocks:
Charlotte plays with the bead maze:

The progression of a hug between sisters (that looks more like choking):


How we found them sleeping during quiet time yesterday:
