For the most part, Ainsley is still a stickler for the rules & plays the first-born role quite well, but they are often off making mischief together.
Who would have thought Max would influence his big sister so much?
This may be the first time they both smiled at the SAME time for the camera - if only Ainsley's hair had been tamed!
Ainsley about to push her brother across the room at high speeds, hoping he doesn't crash into a cabinet, thus drawing attention to the trouble they are about to get into.
"I can feed Max!"
"I can babysit Max!"
"I can shove that spoon into his mouth & test his gag reflex!"
Max's new trick is climbing on top of every table, saying "mama" to get my attention, then giving himself a round of applause. It never occurred to his sister that she, too, could climb on top of tables. Luckily, he is such a great teacher...
...now they both climb on top of tables.
This is Ainsley's "I'm just holding him!" move which is synonymous with strangling. She just doesn't understand why he doesn't like it.
Watch out for our bike gang.
You never know what kind of trouble they could be up to!
This is pretty much why you will never receive a
Christmas card photo with the 4 of us smiling.
My children have conspired to never let it happen.
They have also conspired to pretty much detest the pool; just proving the point that just because your mom was a swimmer & swim coach & taught swimming lessons & said "my child will never wear water wings" (Ainsley's are pink), that does not mean that her children will love the pool.
Maybe next summer? Maybe if there was one in our backyard? Brad? Please?
Tickle attack on Granny. She should have seen it coming.
These two don't sit still for long - she knows that!
