Michael, Tighe and Cian (nearly 20 months old)
Do you know how difficult it is to get these 3 guys to pose for a photo? In this photo, I am holding 2 balls in my hand to get them to look at me. You can see that they are all reaching or pointing for the ball. Worked for a couple seconds. Later on, I tried putting Cheerios on the hand rail. They would just gobble them up and then run away down the bench.

This is pretty typical these days, the boys wanting the same toy and trying to pry it out of each other's hands. This is always followed by a scream and some crying.

In this photo, I thought I'd let them get away with standing on their train table without being reprimanded. This worked for a few seconds, but couldn't get them all to look and smile. Usually, they try endlessly to climb up on the table, while I tell them No and lift them back down to the floor. It's quite a fun game when you are 19 months old but not so fun when you are 30 something and trying to get the kitchen cleaned up.

Here they are playing in the side 'junk' yard. Michael was enjoying putting rocks in the watering can while Cian enjoyed looking through a whole in the fence and Tighe played with a white tube that usually covers some unused electrical wiring yard.
