Cooler Weather Play

Now that we are finally having some cooler days the playground is enjoyable again. Matilda has developed a newfound interest in swinging and will spend 30+ minutes in the baby swing. Not surprisingly, her interest directly correlates with Porter's desire to take a turn on the swing. It seems we are easing into the sibling competition portion of the game here. Nothing dramatic yet, Matilda is just showing a little more concern than previously over what toy Porter wants/has at any given moment.

Porter, for his part, is less interested in toys lately due to his obsession with standing. He's getting pretty good and very proud of himself, as you can see:

Here we were playing on a big airplane structure. Matilda alternated between being the captain and the flight attendant. She flew us to New York, South American (?), Ohio, and then New York again. Here she is bringing me a beverage.

There were peanuts, too. She also got my luggage down from the overhead compartment. I don't know the last time I got such good service on a plane!
