Like Father Like Son
It's amusing to see how much my son, Seth, is like me.
Most amusing is when he announces "I'm done" after a very minimal amount of pool time or outdoor play and heads inside.
Yep - outside is not our place.
EDIT: OK... It's not so much the out-of-doors. It's the type of activities and the number of people involved.
Outdoors in the pool; OK. Outdoors in the pool with more than 4 people; "All done."
Outdoors in the yard; OK (provided we're mostly walking or mowing the lawn or doing other singular activities). Outdoors with more than 4 people; "All done."
Indoors with more than 4 people; "All done" (retreat to quiter part of house or even outside). Indoors with less than 4; play with one other person or engage in a singular task for an extended time.
Babysitting Seth is about as easy as monitoring a cat. Watching Eve is like caring for a new and very energetic puppy.
We love them both.
