...but it only lasted one afternoon. Jax seemed to be going stir crazy yesterday (side note: in Arizona, things are backwards. We have to hibernate during the summer and enjoy the outdoors in the winter. Coming from Utah, it feels like we are officially on our 8th month of hibernation with a quick break during April and May), and I was trying to think of something for us to do together. Remembering how much fun he had when Daddy (Eli) set up a tent in his room a few nights ago, I pulled our kitchen table into our living room and draped it with blankets.
Tah-dah! Jaxon's first fort! We connected the blankets to our TV, coffee table, and dining chairs to make different tunnels we could crawl through. We lined the inside flooring with blankets and brought down our pillows. We even put Cosmo's bed in our fort so that he would hang out with us. Jax was kind enough to want Ty to come inside so we pulled him in with his bouncer.
We grabbed a bunch of Jax's favorite books, some water and some goldfish crackers, and settled in for a fun afternoon (Jax even suckered me into letting him have his "soother"... or binkie, for those who aren't Canadian).And, of course, what's a boy gonna do without his favorite boots? Those came in the fort too.
Surprisingly,the fort lasted virtually the whole afternoon with us crawling in and out and doing lots of activities in there.
It came to a screeching halt when Jax tried to climb from the coffee table to the top of the dining table via the draped blankets--below is a picture of the results. He laughed it off, but we decided it was time to clean up. It made for a very fun afternoon!
The past 7 weeks have flown by sooo quickly! We are having the best time watching Jax and Ty get to know one another. Jax is really cute with his little brother, always giving him kisses and talking sweetly.
