spending the weekend with grand baby joeys, f and m,
(who have a look of mischief in their eyes like the vintage lads above)
while their mom is away with friends
and it’s so very different
from time spent with our girl babies
yet every moment is equally exciting
in its very own way
where going swimming in a pool
counts as a bath
and waking up in bathing suits
makes us ready
for another day’s adventure
and it’s all about
perpetual motion
and peeing
and rocks
and bugs
and ghost tales
and staying up late
and everything is sticky
and wet
and dirty
and it is a delight.
boys are found everywhere – on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on,
swinging from, running around, or jumping to.

It is a different world sometimes, but the way they cross over to each other’s ways is also fun to watch! I find the boys in my world are quite exciting and seem to have boundless energy, where the girls get the idea of relaxing and getting ready for more fun. The boys just ‘run out of steam’ and fall down where they lay, like yours, with bathing suits ready to go into the water again!
