Changing Seasons

Seth is definitely right handed.  

Although, he likes to pick up spoon #1 with his right hand,

then shift empty spoon #1 to his left hand.

Meanwhile, Grampa and Gramma were supposed to have loaded spoon #2,

which is quickly picked up with his right hand.

Gramma and Grampa need more hands to keep up, though.

Seth plays with his toys differently than Nolan.

If it's in a box, take it out.

If it's on a shelf, take it off.

Seth's speed is also much faster than Nolan's.

Nolan selects the books he wants read very carefully.

Seth just wants to browse all of them quickly.

Seth is not big on clean up.

At least his trail is easy to follow.

Nolan hides on the balcony from Grampa,

during hide-n-seek and nap time.

In Chicago, you can experience different seasons in the same day.

Nolan wants to rake the driveway.

Perhaps he's trying to rake snow,

because there are no leaves left.

Those wagon wheels are rolling.

Sometimes a little fast.

Hockey season is also in Chicago.

It's a rough sport and fortunately,

Nolan still has all his teeth.

Spring is trying to emerge,

and the boy's spirit is coming alive.

Nolan and Grampa decided to go for a walk.

If there's a puddle,

the boy will find it.

Nolan never has accidents with his toilet training.

But his pants did not survive the puddles.

Grampa gave up trying to keep Nolan's pants dry or mud free.

Grampa's pants were still dry.

Seth agreed to skip the puddles (not literally) 

and spend time playing with Gramma.
