Call Day #129, 9/9/15

Oliver played with Legos all morning. After being sad that Daddy wasn't around to build giant towers with him, he got into building a castle. Eleanor and Claire took turns playing with him when not doing school.

At naptime, Eleanor volunteered to help Claire clean her room (shocking!). They stayed in there together and played dolls. Despite Claire's affection for any doll, they rarely play with them together.

The girls had soccer practice this afternoon. Oliver ran around practicing too.

Passing the ball back and forth.

Claire just looks super tall to me lately.

After pointing out a few minutes earlier how some of Claire's teammates were sitting on their soccer balls, I turned around to find Oliver trying it himself.

Asking me how the camera works and what each button does.

I got to see a few minutes of Eleanor's practice. She was running hard and pushing her way towards the ball. Wish I could have watched more!

Everyone was hot so I surprised them with ice cream on the way home.

Finishing off the cones from the bottom.

They discovered a wobbly parking stop and had to climb on to play for a little bit. A few minutes later, Oliver's finger got pinched underneath it. No lasting damage, but we headed home with a sad, hurt boy.
