anyhow...shortly after andrea dropped them off they went outside to try to catch our wild yard rabbits that hang around...no such luck but that led into outdoor play of sidewalk chalk and bubbles. they are finally at the age where i am okay with them being outside in bloomfield without me right there as long as i can see them out a window & it was kinda nice because mike & i were fixing supper. emma had her dolly & her dolly's bottle out with her...we always let her fill the bottle with water because what harm can water really do? colby came in and asked if he could have a bottle, too & i didn't think much of it. i asked him what for & he said he wanted to play, too. me being the type of person that doesn't want a boy to think he can't play with dolls & bottles fixed him up...i kinda figured maybe they were playing water war instead of actually feeding babies, but who cares?--it's summer.
soooo, i look out the window to check on them and low and behold they are traipsing around the yard sucking on those bottles! emma might not have shocked me so much, but colby?? i thought about scolding, thought about teasing, & decided to laugh it off & take pictures instead...they were just happy as little clams out there drinking from their bottles. andrea, did you wean them too early or what's the deal?? i told mike we're likely to be hauled into dfs when the wrong person drives by & sees a 6 & 4 year old out in the yard drinking from baby bottles! needless to say, the bottles have been dumped & put away for the evening...they won't be going to bed with the kids! funny little creepos!!
i'm sure in about 10 years, it won't be so funny that we have pictures of them drinking from baby bottles at this age!

kind of like aunt marcia letting us drink out of sippy cups at the age of 10, strange but true!
i agree, they will probably not like those pictures in 10 years:)
