Brotherly Love in a Boat

After her epic nap this morning, Dagny joined us down in the basement.  After building with the big cardboard bricks, Finley wanted to get in the bucket aka his boat.  He climbed in and immediately asked if Dagny could come in, too.  I figured since she can sit up and would be contained, it might be a pretty fun idea. It was!  Unfortunately, despite being contained--both kids were so active inside the boat we couldn't get a clear photo.  This first one really captures Finley's excitement at having his sister along for the ride.

She was less impressed at first...

 

But soon changed her tune...

Eyes closed, but it's the best we could do.

 A little video of the boat in action (i.e. me dragging it around the basement).

Finley soon hopped out, but we decided that this bucket was a pretty good playing location for Dagny. She was supported, couldn't toss away her toys--should I patent this concept or delete the evidence in case child services comes calling??

The more interactive Dagny becomes, the more we see Finley want to include her in his play and it certainly foreshadows the years to come.  About how many years before we can leave them both down in the basement and have some free time to ourselves????
